Job description

Own the close. Own the ledger. Own the outcome.

Hi! We're Smartsourcing, and we're hiring a full-time, onsite Accountant to take end-to-end ownership of the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly accounting cycle for a busy finance function — from journals through to group P&L and audit-ready reporting.

About the Role

As an Accountant, you'll step into a replacement role and take ownership of the full accounting cycle — month-end and year-end close, Fixed Asset Register, balance sheet reconciliations, group P&L, and statutory compliance. You'll run inherited processes and build reports from scratch when needed. The role suits someone proactive, reliable, and confident communicating with senior stakeholders in a semi-structured environment where judgement and decision-making are part of the job.

• Maintain compliance with accounting standards, internal controls, and company policies
• Own monthly processing and reconciliation of the Fixed Asset Register
• Prepare and post monthly depreciation and maintain depreciation schedules
• Account for additions, disposals, adjustments, and classifications
• Ensure accuracy and integrity of asset records

Balance Sheet Reconciliations

• Prepare monthly balance sheet reconciliations accurately and on time
• Investigate and resolve reconciling items, variances, and anomalies
• Maintain data integrity across finance systems and supporting schedules

Group P&L Preparation & Audit Reporting

• Prepare the group Profit & Loss and supporting financial reports
• Produce audit-ready reporting and support the external audit process
• Interpret and present financial information for leadership and stakeholders

Intercompany, Levy & Gift Voucher Reconciliations

• Prepare intercompany reconciliations and distribute on-charges to other entities
• Reconcile gift voucher (GVC), third-party gift card, marketing levy, and franchise fee accounts
• Investigate timing differences and variances

Taxation & Statutory Compliance

• Assist with the preparation, lodgement, and reconciliation of taxation obligations (GST, BAS, PAYG, FBT, income tax)
• Maintain compliance with statutory legislation and audit requirements
• Keep organised records for compliance and audit review

Finance Team Support & System Improvements

• Support the Finance Controller and Senior Financial Accountant with ad hoc requests
• Provide leave coverage across finance activities
• Support system implementations, enhancements, and process improvements

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Readiness and Digital Enablement

• Maintain baseline AI literacy and use approved AI tools responsibly, in line with company policies, data privacy, information security, and client confidentiality obligations
• Apply sound judgment by validating outputs and avoiding overreliance, ensuring accuracy and accountability in all work delivered
• Participate in AI readiness trainings and proactively identify opportunities for process improvement through automation and responsible AI integration

What You'll Need to Succeed

Experience

• 3-5 years of accounting experience spanning general accounting and P&L, including at least 2 years at senior-accountant level
• Demonstrated ownership of month-end / year-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, Fixed Asset Register, and taxation duties
• Intercompany accounting experience expected
• Demonstrated ability to build reports from scratch and run processes end-to-end
• Audit background, bookkeeping, and AP/AR exposure are advantageous
