- SAP, Power BI and advanced Excel, transactional finance background, degree
Why You Should Apply
This is a long established global business with a significant Australian operation and a finance function that has been together a long time. Transactional processing now sits with an offshore shared services centre, which has freed the Brisbane team up but has also moved the day to day detail further away from the people accountable for it.
The business wants someone in Brisbane who owns the reporting on that detail. Not someone who runs the ledgers, someone who makes the performance of the receivables and payables functions visible, measurable and improvable. Where collections are sitting, what is overdue and why, where invoices are getting stuck, and what the data is saying about the underlying process.
If you have come up through a transactional or credit environment and you want your next move to be about reporting and analysis rather than processing, this is a clean way to make it. If you're an accountant that wants to move into more of a reporting analytical role this is also an excellent step in your career.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Financial Controller and working alongside an established finance team, you will sit between the Brisbane finance function, the wider business and the offshore shared services team. You will own the reporting and analysis across credit, collections and payables, and you will be the person Finance puts into system and process projects when something needs testing or someone needs to flag the finance implications early.
This is transactional reporting, not financial reporting. There are no P&Ls, no balance sheets and no statutory accounts in this role. If you are looking for month end close and technical accounting, this is not that job.
What You’ll Do
The role splits roughly two thirds reporting and analysis, one third systems and process work, with the balance moving depending on what projects are running.
- Build and maintain the reporting and dashboards across credit, collections, receivables and payables
- Analyse transactional data to show where collections, ageing and payment performance are tracking
- Investigate variances and discrepancies back to their source in the data, the system or the process
- Extract, validate and reconcile data out of SAP and other sources so the reporting holds up
- Coordinate SAP testing when configuration, processes or reports change
- Work with the offshore shared services team to resolve issues and lift service delivery
- Represent Finance in cross functional projects, including automation and improvement work
- Support process documentation, training and handover as systems and processes change
Who You Are
This role suits someone curious enough to chase a number back to its cause rather than report it and move on, and confident enough to say what a change will do to Finance before it happens. Underneath that sits a real technical foundation. You will be in SAP and Power BI most days and the reporting has to be right.
- A background in transactional finance, credit, collections, accounts payable or finance reporting
- Working knowledge of SAP, enough to navigate finance transactions and pull data you trust
- Power BI or a similar tool, enough to build a dashboard someone will use
- Advanced Excel, including reconciliations, large data sets and complex formulas
- A sound understanding of order to cash and invoice to pay and the controls that sit around them
- Comfortable working with people across finance, IT and offshore teams
- Degree qualified in Accounting, Finance, Business, Information Systems or similar
- Exposure to systems testing, process improvement or automation work is an advantage
- Experience in a shared services environment is an advantage
The Offer
Around $130k plus super, with a bonus component on offer. Brisbane CBD, hybrid working, and a finance team with enough tenure that you will have people to learn the business from. You will come out of this role with SAP, Power BI and process improvement experience in a global environment, which is a strong platform whichever direction you take next.
