Job description

Fresh Clinics – Senior Financial Accountant

At Fresh Clinics, our Senior Financial Accountant is the technical backbone of a finance function that’s right in the middle of a real transformation. You aren’t just here to keep the books tidy - you’re the person who makes our numbers stand up to scrutiny.

We’ve already done a lot of the hard yards. We moved from cash to accrual accounting, implemented Sage Intacct, and automated AP at scale across 6,000+ invoices a month.

You’ll own our month‑end close process, balance sheet integrity, statutory reporting, technical accounting and group consolidation across Australia and the US. You’ll also play a key role in strengthening financial controls and building efficient, scalable accounting processes as we grow.

Reporting directly to our Financial Controller, you’ll combine technical expertise with a hands‑on approach to improving how Finance operates. As you grow in the role, there’s a pathway to Accounting Manager, with the opportunity to take on direct reports.

What you’ll do

• Month‑end close: Own and coordinate the monthly close across our Australian and US entities, with a structured close calendar and review process, working with AP, AR, Payroll and the commercial and operations teams.
• Balance sheet: Ensure material balance sheet accounts are reconciled, supported and reviewed each month, including accruals, provisions and prepayments, and clear aged reconciling items.
• Audit: Keep workpapers audit‑ready year‑round, act as the day‑to‑day contact for our external auditors and drive remediation of audit findings.
• Statutory reporting and consolidation: Prepare statutory financial statements for our Australian and US entities, and deliver monthly group consolidation, including intercompany reconciliations and eliminations.
• Tax: Work with our tax advisers to deliver accurate, timely tax compliance in Australia and the US.
• Technical accounting: Assist the Financial Controller with technical accounting matters and maintain accounting policies, procedures and controls.
• Payroll accounting: Review payroll reconciliations and payroll‑related accounts, and help maintain payroll accounting and compliance controls.
• Continuous improvement: Simplify, standardise and automate close and reporting processes, and get more out of our accounting system and tools.

We’d love you to have

• CA or CPA qualification – a firm requirement.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including month‑end close and external audit exposure.
• Strong technical accounting expertise across AASB and IFRS. US GAAP exposure is highly regarded but not a requirement.
• Experience preparing statutory financial statements and multi‑entity consolidations, including intercompany eliminations.
• Strong working knowledge of Australian tax (income tax, GST, FBT and payroll tax).
• Experience improving processes through automation, standardisation and better use of systems. Sage Intacct experience would be advantageous but not a requirement.
• A builder’s mindset – you enjoy creating structure, improving processes and lifting standards in a finance function mid‑transformation.
• Strong organisation and clear communication – you can coordinate across teams, explain complex accounting in plain language and hold your ground under auditor scrutiny.
