This role is based in Sydney and will have accountability for: 

• Provide senior review and sign-off across month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, and key reporting workpapers 
• Own the narrative layer of management reporting — translating financial results into commentary that explains variances, trends, and business implications 
• Act as the senior technical accounting authority in the team, including leading the external audit relationship and ensuring findings are resolved promptly 
• Ensure statutory reporting obligations are met accurately and on time, continuously strengthening the control framework as the business grows 
• Identify and drive opportunities to improve process efficiency, data quality, and reporting automation through better use of technology 
• Work closely with the Senior Manager, Commercial Finance to ensure management reporting and commercial analysis are well integrated 
• Maintain strong oversight of project and capitalised costs and provide Project Managers with accurate project actuals vs budget reports 
• Support budget owners with timely, relevant reporting to enable informed decisions and effective cost management 
• Engage confidently with senior internal stakeholders including the executive team, Risk, Legal, and Operations, representing finance in key business initiatives 

We’d love to hear from passionate people who have: 

• CA or CPA qualified with minimum 12–15 years’ finance experience, including substantial time in financial control or a senior FC role 
• Deep technical accounting knowledge (AASB/IFRS) with the ability to exercise and clearly articulate complex judgements 
• Excellent excel & data management skills – you’re quick with your formulas & know when something doesn’t look quite right! 
• Experience leading external audit processes and engaging confidently with senior stakeholders including executive teams and boards 
• Genuine interest in and working knowledge of financial systems, automation, and technology — comfortable operating in a fintech environment 
• Experience in financial services, capital markets, clearing, or a similarly regulated and technically complex industry strongly preferred 
• Track record of sustained contribution and stability in previous roles — someone who puts down roots and values long-term commitment
