Reporting to the Accounting & Controls Manager ANZ, this role is responsible for the coordination of financial reporting, tax compliance, and audit activities across multiple legal entities.

This role operates within a supported environment, partnering closely with internal stakeholders and external advisors, and is focused on ownership, oversight, and coordination rather than detailed technical preparation.

  • Support tax provision processes and ensure tax obligations are met in a timely and controlled manner
  • Oversee indirect tax compliance processes (e.g. GST) in collaboration with internal teams
  • Promote a strong internal control environment and support compliance activities
  • Ensure financial processes are audit-ready, well-controlled, and aligned with corporate policies
  • Support integration of newly acquired businesses into the local finance environment, including:
    • Process and reporting alignment
    • Coordination of entity restructuring and deregistration
  • Partner with internal stakeholders to validate financial outputs and resolve accounting matters
  • Contribute to process improvement initiatives, including simplification, standardisation, and automation
