Senior Accountant

This is a commercially focused Senior Accountant opportunity with one of Australia's largest players in the Renewable Energy sector, managing a multi-billion dollar portfolio of wind and solar assets nationally.

The role

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you'll take real ownership across:

• Budget and forecast support - partnering with the Financial Controller and asset managers on budget preparation, re-forecasting and variance analysis throughout the year
• Asset-level financial management and accounts preparation - overseeing the financial position of individual assets within the portfolio, ensuring accounts are accurate, complete and ready for review at each reporting cycle
• Weekly cash flow forecasting - building and maintaining rolling cash flow forecasts across multiple asset entities, flagging funding requirements and variances early
• Ensuring debt undertakings are met across facility agreements - monitoring covenant compliance and liaising with lenders and internal stakeholders to ensure all facility obligations are tracked and satisfied
• Board and statutory reporting, including board paper preparation - preparing accurate, well-presented reporting packs and board papers that support decision-making at the highest level of the business

Importantly, the transactional accounting - AP, AR and day-to-day bookkeeping is fully outsourced, so your time is spent on the commercial, analytical and governance work that actually moves the needle, not on processing.

Meaningful responsibility from day one. No filler work.

What they're looking for

• Clear, confident communication with stakeholders at all levels
• Ability to manage competing priorities without needing to be micromanaged
• Detail-oriented and technically strong
• Collaborative, positive and happy to roll up their sleeves

• Exposure to the Renewable Energy sector
• Additional five days of leave per year
• Experienced, high-performing team that values autonomy over hierarchy
• Central Melbourne CBD location with hybrid working 2 days
