Financial Reporting Manager

About the Company & Role

Ready to make your first move from audit into industry?

Our client is a well-established Australian business with an expanding international footprint, operating across multiple global markets. Driven by innovation and technology, they've built a strong reputation within their industry and continue to experience sustained growth.

With a collaborative leadership team and a genuine focus on continuous improvement, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership, influence key decisions and build your career well beyond financial reporting.

• Lead the month-end and year-end close process across the group
• Prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS
• Oversee group consolidations, intercompany accounting and balance sheet integrity
• Manage the annual external audit process and coordinate overseas audit requirements
• Ensure direct and indirect tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Prepare statutory financial statements and regulatory reporting
• Prepare lender covenant reporting and support board reporting requirements
• Review technical accounting matters including acquisitions, leases and other complex transactions
• Drive improvements across finance systems, controls and reporting processes
• Lead, mentor and develop a small finance team, including offshore staff
• Partner with senior leadership to provide financial insights and support strategic decision making

About You

You'll ideally bring:

• CA qualification

• A proactive approach with a genuine interest in improving processes and driving positive change
