Group Accountant | Northern Tasmania
Permanent Full-Time | Up to $150,000 base + super | Relocation support available
  
A well-known, privately owned heavy industry group based in North Tasmania is looking for a Group Accountant to take full ownership of the end-to-end finance function across a portfolio of group entities. Reporting directly to the CFO and working alongside senior leadership across a significant global business.
  
Job brief
This is a senior finance role with direct exposure to the CFO and executive leadership of a globally recognised heavy industry group. The successful candidate will take full ownership of the end-to-end finance function across a portfolio of corporate and investment entities, operating at the centre of a complex, diversified business with a significant Asia-Pacific footprint.
  
The role demands three things: delivering accurate and reliable group reporting across 6 to 10 entities; driving financial planning, forecasting and performance insight that informs decisions at the highest level of the business; and strengthening the controls, tax compliance and audit readiness of a group that continues to grow and diversify.
  
About our client
Our client is a large and diversified privately owned group headquartered in North-West Tasmania, with a broad portfolio spanning operating businesses, investments, equity portfolios, manufacturing and other commercial activities. With significant scale and a global footprint, the business offers exposure to a complex group structure, senior stakeholders, and a wide range of corporate and investment entities.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to step into a broad role with genuine ownership, visibility and long-term stability.
