Join Australia’s Fastest-Growing CFO Advisory Practice
Collaborative and supportive team culture
Flexible work arrangements for balance - work towards a * day fortnight
Grant Thornton Australia is one of the world's leading independently-owned and managed accounting, advisory and consulting firms.
Our culture is underpinned by a commitment to our clients, people and communities, and our promise to ‘Reach for Remarkable’ by providing proven expertise, principled execution, and personalised experience.
In Australia, we’re proud to support the careers of over 1,500 remarkable people. With six offices nationally and partner firms in more than 145 markets, wherever you want to go, we can take you there.
About this role
Our Financial Accounting Advisory practice is expanding, and we're looking for talented professionals to join our dynamic team. From cutting-edge financial reporting solutions to hands-on support during high-impact projects, you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference for Australia's top businesses.
This opportunity is to join our dynamic and entrepreneurial CFO Advisory practice as a Manager/Senior Manager encompassing our financial accounting advisory; finance support; and sustainability reporting advisory services. As a member of the Financial Accounting Advisory practice within our CFO Advisory team you will assist clients with understanding how they should account for complex transactions, accounting and reporting matters; provide hands-on finance support to client’s finance teams to assist them through peaks in workload; and assist clients with implementing new Australian Accounting Standards.
We are not your typical accountants. Whilst we have a deep and robust knowledge of Australian and International Financial Reporting Standards, we understand the pressures that CFOs and finance teams are under and the risks their businesses face. Our team provides the support our client’s need in the face of increasing expectations from auditors, external compliance obligations and constrained resources.
Working directly with Partners and Directors, you will play a critical role in our growth by building strong client relationships, producing high quality deliverables and identifying potential target clients. You can expect a steep learning curve as you are exposed to senior client teams across our broad client base.
You will be skilled at balancing technical excellence; project management; and developing client relationships; and will be comfortable with change. Equally important are your positive ‘can-do’ attitude and strong client focus. You will be someone who likes to be one step ahead, friendly, hardworking and flexible with a positive attitude, providing exceptional service to the firm and our clients.
Key responsibilities
Attending financial accounting workshops with clients and then performing first level reviews of draft technical accounting analyses prepared by offshore technical accounting specialists
Providing practical hands-on support to a client’s finance team as they work through complex changes (e.g., finance transformations, acquisitions, divestments, IPO processes or restructures) through preparation of supporting workpapers e.g. consolidations; carveouts etc.
Project management of engagements including co-ordination of executive reviews and off-shore teams; overseeing client on-boarding processes; ensuring adherence to quality and risk management protocols; and taking responsibility for WIP management and billing
Developing strong internal and external networks with peers and clients
Assisting with the preparation of proposals and general participation in business development initiatives
Skills and experience
You will be motivated, organised and keen to make a contribution. This role will suit someone with the following skills, experience and attributes
Qualified Chartered Accountant (CA) or equivalent with 3+ years post-qualification experience
Knowledge of accounting standards (IFRS/AASB)
Background in professional services (audit/assurance) preferred
An interest in financial reporting
Strong report writing and communication skills
A proven ability to build strong client relationships
If you're passionate about finance, love problem-solving, and are ready to take your career to the next level, we want to hear from you!
