• Providing ad hoc commercial analysis to support business decision-making
• Working collaboratively with the broader Finance team and providing support across various projects and priorities.

What we're looking for:

We’re looking for a proactive and highly organised Accountant who combines strong technical accounting capability with a positive, collaborative approach. You’ll have excellent attention to detail, enjoy solving problems and be comfortable managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline
• CA/CPA qualification preferred, or currently working towards completion
• Previous accounting experience, ideally within a retail or services environment
• Strong experience in balance sheet reconciliations and general month-end accounting

• A competitive salary package
• Free onsite parking in our Malvern office
• The flexibility to work from home each Friday
• A generous product allowance and 50% discount across GAZMAN, Cable and Perri Cutten
