Support the billing operations centralisation initiative, engaging closely with Operational Finance leadership to maintain process integrity and resolve issues in real time.
Respond to ad hoc technical accounting queries from across the finance function, providing clear, well-reasoned guidance aligned with applicable standards.
Work closely with the FP&A team to ensure statutory reporting outcomes are reconciled to and aligned with management reporting, facilitating accurate financial planning and analysis.
Partner with finance leaders across the Sydney function to provide technical input on key business decisions, deal structuring, and new commercial arrangements with reporting implications.
Contribute to month-end and quarter-end close processes, including preparation and review of journals, reconciliations, and balance sheet substantiation.
