For over 40 years, we’ve connected people, places and possibilities - moving freight and building careers across New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Europe and the USA.

Job Description

We're looking for a CA/CPA qualified Tax Accountant who wants more than a compliance checklist — someone who wants a seat at the table, influence over real business decisions, and the chance to work across an international network that never stands still.

Why This Role?

You'll be the go-to tax expert advising on everything from FBT and fuel tax rebates to cross-border tax strategy with our Headquarters and external advisors. You'll get your hands on CargoWise, Power BI, OneStream and more — and you'll help shape how a growing logistics business plans, budgets, and stays ahead of the ATO.

If you're the kind of accountant who actually enjoys tax legislation, likes solving problems rather than just reporting them, and wants your advice to matter — this is your next move.

What You'll Own

  • Financial & Group Reporting — Prepare financial statements, monthly Group Tax workpapers, and Boardpack notes that leadership actually reads
  • Tax Compliance, Your Way — Own GST, BAS/IAS, FBT, WHT, and the fuel tax rebate scheme, keeping us compliant and ahead of the curve
  • Real Influence — Provide actionable tax recommendations directly to Senior Leadership — not just reports, but real input into decisions
  • Global Collaboration — Work directly with Headquarters and external tax advisors on cross-border matters
  • Budgets & Forecasts — Partner with management on P&L and CAPEX planning
  • Audit & Compliance — Lead the tax focus for half-year reviews and EOFY audits
  • Regulatory Relationships — Be our trusted contact with the ATO, ASIC, and OSR
  • Systems Ownership — Maintain CargoWise One GL, charge codes, and compliance reporting, plus manage employee disbursements via SAP Concur
  • Projects & Variety — Jump into initiatives across the business — no two weeks look the same

Qualifications

What You Bring

  • CA/CPA qualified, with 5+ years in corporate accounting — public practice training or MNC tax exposure highly regarded
  • Strong grip on AASB standards, Tax Acts, and legislation
  • Advanced indirect tax know-how — GST, BAS/IAS, PTRS, WHT, fuel tax rebate
  • Comfortable across Excel, Power BI, OneStream, CargoWise, SAP Concur
  • A collaborator who communicates well and isn't afraid to manage people and priorities
  • Cool under pressure, organised under deadlines
  • Freight or logistics experience? A bonus, not a requirement — we'll get you up to speed
  • A friendly, social personality — because great numbers still need great relationships

Why Mondiale VGL?

  • Be part of a dynamic and growing team in a global company with over 40 years of industry expertise
  • Join a supportive, energetic environment where no two days are the same
  • Build a career where your impact drives the future of the logistics and freight teams
