Senior Accountant | Fintech | Full-Time | Onsite (5 Days) | $135k–$170k TFR + Share Options

We’re working with a fast-scaling fintech transforming a niche but critical part of the financial services sector. Following a critical stage of the business they're bringing their entire finance function in-house — and need an experienced Senior Accountant to take control.
Why this opportunity stands out:

  • Full ownership of the finance function as the business brings it in-house
  • Be the right hand to the Head of Finance in a high-impact, fast-growth environment
  • Equity options on offer
  • Energetic, ambitious, founder-led culture
  • Excellent exposure to structured finance and debt funding models

What you’ll be doing:

  • Oversee all accounting operations, including review of transaction-level entries from offshore support
  • Ensure timeliness and accuracy across AP, payroll, G/L postings, reconciliations, accruals, and compliance
  • Prepare accurate monthly financials and management reporting
  • Administer payroll, superannuation, and payroll tax (with oversight to ensure everything is compliant)
  • Handle BAS, GST, activity statements, and trust-level reporting
  • Support loan portfolio accounting, including bank recs and repayment tracking
  • Contribute to liquidity planning, budgeting and performance reporting for a large debt facility
  • Play a key role in audit readiness and compliance — especially for warehouse funders

What we’re looking for:

  • 5+ years accounting experience, ideally with a background in financial services, fintech, or lending
  • Someone who understands the mechanics of loan accounting and trust structures
  • Experience preparing financial reports and managing payroll and tax compliance
  • Strong working knowledge of Xero and Excel
  • Ideally a second mover from Big 4, someone ready to take full ownership of an in-house role
  • High energy, hands-on, and ready to roll up their sleeves
  • Must be based in Sydney and available to work 5 days in Sydney CBD office

This is a unique chance to step into a business with real momentum and make a meaningful difference from day one.
