[Hiring] Intermediate Accountant @Acquire Intelligence

Role Description

This is an opportunity to join Software Combined Group's regional finance team in a hands-on role with real ownership. As an Intermediate Accountant, you will:

• Run the month-end close for assigned subsidiaries with minimal supervision.
• Prepare management reporting and variance commentary.
• Contribute to budgeting and forecasting.
• Support compliance obligations across the Group.

This is a generalist role that goes well beyond transactional accounting. You will work with a high degree of independence, with the Senior Accountant providing oversight on judgement areas and escalated matters. The role offers direct exposure to a complex, multi-entity group structure, with scope to contribute to:

• Process improvement.
• System enhancements.
• Post-acquisition integration as the Group continues to grow.

Your tasks for the day include, but are not limited to the following:

• Financial control and budget preparation for head office and portfolio companies.
• Run the end-to-end month-end close for assigned subsidiaries, including journals, trial balance review, reconciliations, and management reporting with variance commentary.
• Prepare budget and forecast models for assigned subsidiaries as part of the annual budget and periodic forecast process led by the Senior Accountant.
• Prepare complex and judgement-based workpapers, escalating material issues and unusual transactions to the Senior Accountant with a proposed treatment.
• Prepare month-end journals and manage payment processes where required.
• Prepare month-end reconciliations including fixed assets, deferred revenue, leases, and employee liabilities.
• Prepare Head Office reporting pack inputs and templates for assigned subsidiaries.
• Assist with the collation and consolidation of accounts and budgets.
• Prepare VAT/GST, FBT and payroll lodgements.
• Assist with the completion of full-year Statutory Financial Statements for audit.
• Assist with the preparation of tax reporting schedules for tax filing.
• Assist in rolling out any head office finance initiatives (e.g., standardisation of reporting templates, implementation of new accounting standards).
• Support system implementations and post-acquisition financial integration for new portfolio companies.
• Identify and support process improvements, automation opportunities, and system enhancements across assigned subsidiaries.
• Liaise with other members of the finance team and assist with ad hoc duties.

In a nutshell, you have won the day when your subsidiaries are closed accurately and on time, your work needs minimal review, and the team knows it can rely on your numbers!
