Financial Accountant

Financial Accountant   Brisbane South-West | Permanent Full-Time


An exciting opportunity has become available for a Financial Accountant to join a well-established and growing business with international operations and a supportive finance team of seven based in the Brisbane office. This role is ideal for someone who is confident in their month-end and audit capabilities and is keen to contribute to both business-as-usual finance and post-acquisition integration activity.
You’ll be working in a head office environment (with global links), and while there are set procedures, the local team operates with a great deal of autonomy. If you have a solid technical base and a willingness to learn, there’s room to grow and be supported here.


Key Responsibilities

• Prepare monthly financial and management reports, including P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow.
• Prepare and lodge timely statutory returns (BAS, PAYG, FBT, etc).
• Deliver quarterly board reports.

• Handle stock control and reconciliations.
• Monitor and improve internal controls; participate in process reviews.
• Lead Singapore compliance audits and prepare relevant tax & GST documentation.
• Liaise with global head office to ensure group alignment.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in month-end reporting and audit preparation(particularly external audits).
• Exposure to consolidation and integration processes is a plus – the business has recently acquired another company.
• Comfortable working in a structured head office environment, with overseas leadership.
• Able to navigate procedures while taking ownership at a local level.

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in Accounting or Finance.
• CPA or CA qualification (or currently completing).
• Minimum 3 years' experience in a Financial Accountant or similar role.
• Strong knowledge of statutory reporting and compliance.
• Proficient in Excel and accounting systems.
• High attention to detail and analytical thinking.
• Excellent communication skills and a team-oriented mindset.
• Eagerness to learn and contribute – even if you don’t tick every box, training will be provided for the right person.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative and steady finance team in a global business setting. If you’re looking for a diverse, hands-on role with opportunities to grow and learn, apply now or reach out for a confidential discussion.
