Accountant

The Company
Following significant business growth, this position has evolved from a traditional finance function into a highly influential role supporting a business operating on a national scale. With multiple growth initiatives, expansion projects, and strategic investment plans already underway throughout 2026, the opportunity has never been more exciting.

For over 25 years, this organisation has built a strong reputation within the automotive logistics sector by delivering innovative solutions, exceptional service, and long-term partnerships. Today, the business is entering a new phase of growth, investment, and transformation.

As a result, we're seeking a commercially astute Senior Accountant who wants to move beyond reporting and become a trusted business partner to senior leadership.

If you're passionate about driving performance, influencing decisions, improving processes, and helping shape the future direction of a growing organisation, this could be the career-defining opportunity you've been looking for.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Newly expanded role created to support ongoing national growth
• Direct partnership with senior leadership and key decision-makers
• Significant influence across operational and commercial performance
• Opportunity to drive process improvement and modernisation initiatives
• Exposure to strategic planning, business performance, and growth projects
• High-autonomy environment where your ideas will be heard
• Diverse role spanning finance, operations, reporting, and commercial analysis
• Join a successful business investing heavily in its future|
  
  

The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Director of Operations, you will play a critical role in supporting both the financial health and commercial performance of the business.

More than an Accountant, you'll act as a strategic advisor, providing insights, recommendations, and analysis that directly impact business outcomes and support the next phase of growth.

You'll take ownership of the finance function while partnering with leadership to improve visibility, strengthen decision-making, and develop scalable systems and processes that support a growing national operation.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Financial management and statutory reporting
• Management accounting and financial modelling
• Cashflow forecasting and working capital management
• Debtor and creditor oversight
• Budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
• Business performance reporting and commercial analysis
• Executive dashboards and KPI reporting
• Process improvement and operational efficiencies
• Cost reduction initiatives and profitability analysis
• Strategic planning and business partnering with leadership
• Compliance, taxation, and governance obligations
• This role offers the perfect balance of hands-on financial management and strategic commercial involvement.

Who Will Thrive in This Role?

This opportunity will suit a commercially minded accountant who enjoys creating structure, solving problems, and making businesses better.

We're looking for someone who doesn't simply inherit processes, but challenges them, improves them, and takes ownership of outcomes.

The business is on a journey. As growth accelerates, there is a strong focus on improving systems, strengthening reporting capability, increasing operational visibility, and embracing more efficient and digital ways of working.

You'll be someone who thrives in environments where there is an opportunity to build, improve, and leave a lasting impact.

You may have previously worked within a growing SME, privately owned enterprise, multi-site operation, logistics business, or organisation undergoing transformation.

You'll be someone who:

• Thrives in a business that's evolving and growing
• Enjoys building processes rather than simply maintaining them
• Has a continuous improvement mindset
• Embraces technology, change, and modern ways of working
• Can identify inefficiencies and implement practical solutions
• Takes full ownership from problem identification through to implementation
• Influences stakeholders with confidence and credibility
• Balances strategic thinking with a hands-on attitude
• Wants to play a genuine role in shaping the future of a business

About You
You're an experienced finance professional who enjoys understanding how a business operates and using financial data to influence outcomes.

You bring:

• CA, CPA, or equivalent accounting qualification
• Strong experience within a commercial accounting environment
• Advanced management reporting and financial analysis skills
• Proven budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling capability
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills
• Strong commercial acumen and business awareness
• Advanced Microsoft Excel capability
• MYOB experience highly regarded
• Beyond Your Technical Capability
• We're seeking someone who is naturally curious, commercially savvy, and motivated by improvement.

This isn't an environment where you'll simply maintain the finance function. You'll play a key role in helping the business continue its growth journey by improving reporting, increasing visibility, streamlining processes, and supporting the ongoing evolution of systems and operational practices.

You'll be comfortable stepping into a role with broad accountability, taking ownership of challenges, and delivering end-to-end solutions that create measurable business value.

What's Next?
This is a rare opportunity to join a successful and expanding organisation at a pivotal stage of its growth journey.

With ambitious growth plans throughout 2026 and beyond, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact, influence strategic direction, and help shape the future success of the business.

Flexible Working & Autonomy Enjoy a flexible hybrid working environment with the ability to split your time between home and the office. This is a highly autonomous role where you'll be trusted to manage your priorities, take ownership of outcomes, and partner directly with senior leadership. Ideal for a self-motivated professional, you'll have the freedom to drive improvements, influence decisions, and make a genuine impact within a business that values initiative and results. If you're looking for a role where you can combine commercial acumen, operational influence, business partnering, and transformation leadership, we'd love to hear from you.
