The Opportunity

Working at an organisation with a strong reputation and genuine career progression, you will be offered the opportunity to work with a top performing team, high quality and friendly mentoring, and a collegiate, outcomes-oriented environment.

They are amidst change and there is plenty of opportunity to sink your teeth into project and progressive work.

You will get a helicopter/macro view of the organisation.

The Role

This role sits with the central finance team but works extensively across the business to engage with relevant stakeholders and to help build key budget models for internal budgeting, and then assists with coordination of the external budget process including reviewing work done by the line areas.

You will need to get to know the business areas and key programs back to front, so that you can produce accurate costings and forecasts underpinned by supported assumptions.

Your Background and Experience

This role will suit a skilled management accountant with extensive practical expertise in budgeting and forecasting in complex business environments. Good accounting system skills (TechOne/SAP) and advanced Microsoft Excel are a must.

You will demonstrate high level interpersonal skills, excellent communication (including the ability to write concise and clear pieces) and the ability to prioritise competing workflows in a rapidly moving context.

You also have strong experience developing and improving management reporting particularly in relation to efficiency gains.

This employer values relevant degree qualifications in their accounting team and will support continued professional development for longer term employees.

Only Australian citizens will be considered for this role and a Baseline clearance will be required.
