The Opportunity
Join a high-performing finance team within a well-respected Federal Government agency that plays a critical role in Australia’s financial system. This is a rare opportunity to apply your technical accounting expertise in a purpose-driven organisation offering stability, flexibility, and professional challenge.

The Role
As the Senior Financial Accountant, you’ll be responsible for supporting end-to-end financial reporting, statutory compliance, and liaising with the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO). This is a hands-on role suited to someone who thrives on detail, accountability, and continuous improvement.

  • Supporting audit engagements and preparing workpapers
  • Tax compliance including FBT and GST calculations
  • Cash management and banking transactions
  • Contributing to process improvement initiatives and controls

About You
You are a technically strong and reliable finance professional who can hit the ground running. You’re calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and capable of working autonomously while building trust with stakeholders.
You will bring:

  • CA/CPA qualification (or equivalent)
  • Proven experience in statutory reporting and financial accounting
  • Experience in government, regulatory, or highly audited environments
  • Strong knowledge of FBT/GST compliance
  • Excellent Excel skills and confidence with financial systems (Oracle, TM1 preferred)
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams
  • Australian Citizenship (mandatory)

Why Apply?

  • Stable 12-month government contract with extension potential
  • Hybrid working (50% Sydney office, 50% WFH)
  • Work with smart, values-driven professionals in a regulatory environment
  • Be part of financial decisions that matter on a national scale
