The Company

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-performing, forward-thinking organisation that quietly shapes the backbone of Australia’s resource economy. Operating with the precision of a global player and the intimacy of a tight-knit team, they are in the midst of building something new — a management accounting unit designed to decode complexity, bring clarity to performance and drive strategic decision-making from deep within the numbers.

Their environment is grounded in rigour — an ethos of detail and structure — but alive with a candid, curious energy. It’s a place where dashboards are born from scratch, silos are challenged and insight is king. As they continue to invest in their internal capability, this newly created Senior Management Accountant role is at the heart of one of their most important transformations yet.

The Role

This is more than a role. It’s a call to arms for a Senior Management Accountant who sees patterns in the noise and meaning in the margin. You’ll work hand-in-hand with a newly appointed Manager of Management Accounting to help build a forecasting and performance unit from the ground up. Your focus will be on understanding the story behind the numbers — particularly those tied to the performance of a major joint venture — and turning operational data into financial intelligence.

From budgeting and variance analysis to dashboard development and stakeholder engagement, this role combines the rigour of accounting with the creativity of insight. You won’t just report the figures — you’ll explain them, challenge them and build the tools that make better decisions possible. Your key responsibilities will include:-

Driving budgeting and forecasting processes across joint venture operations

Performing detailed monthly and weekly variance analysis, interpreting financial results in the context of operational performance.

Building and maintaining dashboards and reports to surface business insights.

Partnering closely with the Operations Teaml team and Finance leadership to support cash flow, FX hedging, and planning.

Preparing clear, board-ready reports that transform raw data into strategic recommendations.

Collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders, including operations, finance, and joint venture partners.

Contributing to the design and rollout of new performance reporting tools, processes, and insights infrastructure.

Supporting the Manager of Management Accounting in building a new unit — setting up systems and laying the foundation for long-term capability.

About You

You’re not afraid of a blank canvas. In fact, you prefer it. You’re a CA or CPA with experience that blends commercial savvy and technical depth. Maybe you cut your teeth in public practice before stepping into industry. Maybe you’ve come up through the ranks of a complex, operationally rich business. Either way, you’ve built models, dashboards, and forecasts — and you’re not intimidated by data that’s messy or incomplete.

You're detail-oriented but never lose the plot. You know that a budget is only as good as the questions it answers, and your strength lies in asking the right ones. You enjoy working with smart people, even when they challenge you. And you’re confident enough to challenge them right back — respectfully, insightfully, and backed by numbers that tell the truth.

Skills & Experience

CA or CPA qualified with 5+ years of post-qualification experience.

Strong management accounting and variance analysis capability.

ERP experience — ideally SAP, Oracle, D365, NetSuite or others similar

Power BI or dashboarding skills highly desirable (or a keen interest to develop).

Industry background in mining, manufacturing or heavy industry preferred.

A mind for interpretation — not just data entry or financial reporting.

Strong stakeholder skills and comfort reporting across multiple managers.
