Senior Accountant

This is a genuine opportunity for a CA/CPA qualified accountant who wants more than a compliance-heavy corporate role. Our client is a high-growth renewable energy group backed by a leading global infrastructure investor. With 10+ active projects across Australia and construction activity now underway, they are expanding their finance function and need someone to take real ownership of it.

This is not a role for someone who wants to slot into an established team and follow the playbook. It's for someone who wants genuine responsibility, broad exposure and the chance to make a real contribution to a business that is growing quickly.

The role
Reporting to the Finance Controller, you'll take ownership across:
  • Month-end close across multiple SPVs, including journal entries, depreciation, amortisation and accruals
  • Establishing and maintaining fixed asset registers and CapEx allocation frameworks
  • Intercompany loan reconciliations and bank reconciliations
  • GST/BAS preparation, audit support and cash flow reporting
  • Developing and improving financial controls and month-end processes
Genuine responsibility from day one. No filler work.

What they're looking for

CA or CPA qualified with solid experience from a Big Four or mid-tier accounting firm, or a comparable in-house finance role in renewable energy or infrastructure. Whether you're making your first move from practice or looking for something more complex and rewarding than your current role, the background matters less than the person. Specifically:
  • A genuine sense of ownership and accountability
  • Strong technical accounting capability, particularly across multi-entity and SPV structures
  • Comfortable working autonomously in a lean, fast-moving environment
  • Detail-oriented and confident preparing complex journals independently
  • Collaborative and positive
  • Motivated by the opportunity to contribute to something meaningful
Why this one is worth considering
  • Competitive base salary plus STI and LTI on offer - real financial upside for strong performers
  • Clear pathway to Finance Manager within 1-2 years as the platform scales
  • Be part of one of a high-growth renewable energy business with an exciting pipeline ahead
  • Hybrid working - 2 days in office, 3 days from home
  • Direct access to senior leadership in a lean, high-performing team
  • Work that matters - every project in the portfolio contributes to Australia's clean energy future
If you're ready for a role with real substance and genuine long-term opportunity, it's worth a conversation.
