Job Description

Group Management Accountant

Esco Industries
Sydney CBD | Hybrid (3 days in office) | $110,000 – $120,000 + super

Esco Industries is looking for a commercially minded Group Management Accountant to join the finance team in Sydney.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership of reporting, improving processes, and turning financial data into clear, useful business insight. You’ll work closely with the Group Chief Accountant and have exposure to senior stakeholders across the business, helping bring greater visibility, consistency and confidence to group reporting.

This role sits across Esco’s wider group structure, so it offers more than standard month-end reporting. Alongside supporting the existing business, you’ll also gain exposure to new ventures and evolving business lines, making this a strong opportunity for someone who wants breadth, visibility and genuine impact.

What’s in it for you

• Join a growing group role with visibility across multiple business entities

• Work closely with senior leadership and contribute to executive-level reporting

• Hybrid working model with a CBD office location

• Opportunity to improve reporting processes and influence how finance supports the business

• Exposure to both established operations and newer business ventures across the group

The Role

This role will take ownership of the monthly reporting cycle and support the delivery of accurate, timely and commercially useful management information across the group. You’ll work closely with regional finance contacts, review financial results, support budgeting and forecasting, and help strengthen reporting consistency across the business.

You’ll also play an important role in freeing up the Group Chief Accountant from the day-to-day reporting cycle so they can focus on higher-level finance leadership and business support.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the month-end management reporting cycle across the group

• Prepare monthly reporting packs, variance analysis, commentary and performance insights

• Review regional financial submissions for accuracy, consistency and completeness

• Support budgeting, forecasting and performance modelling

• Help oversee AR/AP activity and ensure financial information is reliable and well supported

• Work with stakeholders across the business to explain financial performance clearly

• Contribute to process improvements, reporting standardisation and automation opportunities

• Support board and executive reporting through Fathom and group reporting tools

• Assist with ad hoc analysis and requests from senior leadership

What You’ll Bring

• Previous experience in management accounting, commercial finance or FP&A

• Strong month-end reporting capability and confidence working across multiple entities

• Solid Excel skills and the ability to produce meaningful analysis, not just numbers

• Comfortable working in a hands-on environment where systems and processes may not be perfect

• Strong attention to detail and confidence reviewing work before sign-off

• Ability to communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders

• Experience in manufacturing, distribution or operational environments would be beneficial

• CPA/CA qualification is welcome, but not essential

• A practical, adaptable mindset and willingness to get into the detail

Working Arrangement

• Sydney CBD based – 44 Market Street

• Hybrid role with an expectation of at least 3 days per week in the office

• Standard full-time working hours

Salary

$110,000 – $120,000 + super
