Our client is a small federal government agency responsible for managing a range of complex programs and projects across multiple regions. With a focus on stakeholder engagement and effective service delivery, the organisation offers employees the chance to work on meaningful projects that make a real impact while developing their careers.

The Opportunity

Step into a newly created role that offers a unique chance to make a real impact. You’ll work alongside well-respected leaders, dive deep into budgets and financial information, and build strong relationships across teams and regions. This is a role for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, connecting the dots, and seeing the tangible outcomes of their work.

With a 12-month contract or the potential for a permanent transfer, this opportunity provides development, mentorship, and a platform to grow your expertise.

The Role

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide strategic financial guidance that drives decisions across the organisation
  • Partner with business areas to manage budgets, forecasts, and financial performance
  • Analyse complex financial data, identify risks and opportunities, and make clear recommendations to senior leaders
  • Lead projects to streamline financial processes, systems, and reporting, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness
  • Build strong relationships across teams, collaborating to deliver results and drive continuous improvement
  • Mentor and support the development of finance staff, building capability within the team

The Ideal Person

You are a clear and confident communicator who enjoys collaborating with others to achieve results. Known for your high attention to detail, you take pride in delivering work to a high standard and on time. You enjoy understanding the story behind the numbers and using your initiative to solve problems and add value.

You are CPA or CA qualified with a strong business accounting background, and while knowledge of government accounting frameworks is advantageous, it is not essential. You thrive in situations that require critical thinking, are comfortable operating in the grey, and are willing to question how things are done.

Applicants must be an Australian Citizen to be eligible for this role.
