Senior Financial Accountant

We’re partnering with a highly regarded Australian property and investment group with a long track record of delivering some of Australia’s most prominent and complex projects.

This is an opportunity to join a large, well-resourced finance function with strong leadership, depth of expertise and genuine long-term career progression. The business invests heavily in its people and offers exposure to sophisticated group structures, high-value assets and meaningful projects that shape Australia’s built environment.

The Opportunity

As part of a high-performing finance team, you’ll work alongside experienced finance leaders and external advisors, gaining exposure well beyond a typical Senior Accountant role.
You’ll be involved in group accounting, tax and compliance across a diverse portfolio, while also contributing to major projects, system improvements and process enhancements. This role offers clear pathways for development, both technically and into broader leadership or specialist roles over time.

Key Responsibilities
  • Assist with tax compliance including BAS, IAS, FBT, TPAR and income tax returns
  • Support the year-end audit process for a large consolidated group and liaise with external advisors
  • Prepare year-end working papers, reconciliations and balance sheet integrity reviews
  • Assist with monthly and quarterly management reporting
  • Collaborate with external advisors on GST consolidation
  • Support payroll tax and land tax compliance across jurisdictions
  • Assist with group tax forecasting, planning and structural initiatives
  • Manage financial aspects of special projects, including entity setup, governance and reporting
  • Assist with group budgets and overheads
  • Drive continuous improvement across systems, processes and documentation
  • Support and mentor junior team members where appropriate
  • Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external advisors
About You
  • CA or CPA qualified, or close to completion
  • Experience in financial accounting, tax and compliance
  • Exposure to complex group structures, property or investment experience highly regarded
  • Comfortable working in a collaborative, team-based finance environment
  • Strong attention to detail with a desire to keep learning and progressing
Why Join This Business?
  • Join a large, established finance team with strong technical capability
  • Work on some of Australia’s leading property and investment projects
  • Clear and supported career progression pathways
  • High-quality finance leadership and external advisory exposure
  • Stable, long-term role in a well-capitalised and respected group
