About the role
We are hiring an Associate Accountant based in the Philippines to support our Australia-based finance team. Our group has its main operating entity in Australia along with several subsidiaries, all served by a single, centralised finance team - so this role works across the whole group, not a single entity. As a listed company, we undergo two external audits each year (half-year and full-year), covering both the group and its subsidiaries.
This is a broad, hands-on role. We're looking for someone with a solid accounting foundation who understands how month-end works, can support our AR and AP teams, and handles core compliance such as GST. With training, the right person will pick things up quickly and get up to speed fast.
You will report directly to the Senior Financial Accountant
