About your new Employer!
West Recruitment is exclusively partnering with a high-growth organisation operating within the renewable energy sector to recruit a newly created Finance Manager position.

With an established Australian operation and significant growth in the pipeline, the business is continuing to invest in its Finance capability as it enters its next phase of growth.

This is an opportunity to join an organisation with an excellent team culture and a supportive manager who is genuinely invested in your development. As the business continues to grow, there is a clear development plan and opportunity for you to grow your career alongside it.

About your new Role!
Reporting to the Financial Controller, this is a broad Finance Manager position with a strong focus on technical accounting, statutory reporting, financial control and ownership of the accounting function.

You will take ownership of the month-end close and key statutory reporting requirements, while working closely with the Financial Controller to strengthen the Finance environment, improve controls and build scalable processes as the organisation continues to grow.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Owning and leading the month-end close process, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting
• Taking ownership of statutory reporting requirements, including the preparation of annual financial statements
• Managing the external audit process and acting as a key point of contact for auditors and external advisors
• Providing technical accounting guidance and assessing the accounting treatment of significant or complex transactions
• Preparing technical accounting position papers and supporting documentation
• Ensuring compliance with relevant AASB/IFRS accounting standards
• Managing Group reporting requirements across monthly, quarterly and annual reporting cycles
• Reviewing balance sheet reconciliations, journals and management accounts
• Strengthening financial controls, policies and procedures as the business continues to scale
• Identifying opportunities to automate and streamline Finance processes
• Supporting broader statutory, compliance and tax reporting requirements
• Working closely with internal and external stakeholders across the broader business
• Providing guidance and support to the accounting team and contributing to the ongoing development of the Finance function

About You!
You will be a technically strong accounting professional with experience across statutory reporting, month-end and financial control, who enjoys taking ownership and working in a growing environment.

You will ideally have:

• CA/CPA qualification with a strong technical accounting foundation
• Big 4 or mid-tier accounting experience will be highly regarded
• Experience within renewable energy is desirable, however experienced candidates from infrastructure, utilities or other asset-intensive environments will also be considered.
• Strong statutory reporting experience, including preparation of financial statements
• Experience owning and leading the month-end close process
• Strong knowledge of AASB/IFRS and the ability to work through complex technical accounting matters
• Experience strengthening financial controls and improving Finance processes
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with both Finance and non-finance stakeholders

Most importantly, you will bring a curious, proactive and agile mindset. You will be comfortable working in an environment where not every process has already been established, willing to investigate and work through problems, and motivated by the opportunity to improve how things are done.

What's in it for You?

• $150,000 - $170,000 + Super + Bonus (depending on experience and suitability)
• Permanent, newly created Finance Manager position due to growth
• Excellent team culture with a supportive manager genuinely invested in your development
• Clear development plan and tangible career growth as the business continues to scale
• Commence in stand alone role and progress to management once comfortable
• Broad ownership across technical accounting, statutory reporting and the month-end close
• Sydney CBD location
• 1x day WFH which will likely increase with time

If you're a technically strong Accountant or Finance Manager looking for greater ownership and the opportunity to grow your career within an expanding renewable energy business, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
