Our Finance Team

You’re a Senior Financial Accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. With a strong technical skill set and the ability to build solid relationships across a global network, you consistently deliver results. Your attention to detail, organisational skills, and ability to manage competing priorities allow you to drive efficiency and contribute meaningfully to the success of the business.

Reporting to the Regional Accounting Manager, this role offers a Senior Financial Accountant the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the broader finance team's operations, both locally and internationally. You’ll be in a position to make a tangible impact, taking ownership of key financial processes. This isn’t about preparing reports that sit on a shelf – you’ll have the authority and support to drive meaningful change and ensure these initiatives are fully implemented and embedded into the business.

The finance team at WiseTech is focused on achieving the right balance between delivering effective financial control and enabling the business to remain agile and grow. We see this role as a key part of that journey.

You’re a highly organised and methodical thinker, comfortable managing multiple priorities and delivering on deadlines. You’re also skilled at building and maintaining relationships with individuals across a global network, and thrive in collaborative environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and implementation of month-end close processes, working collaboratively across departments to ensure a smooth and efficient close.
• Take ownership of setting up and managing entity-level general ledgers to seamlessly record newly acquired subsidiaries.
• Ensure accuracy and timeliness in delivering reconciliations for controlled ledgers, maintaining the highest standards of financial reporting.
• Establish and refine month-end close processes, checklists, and procedures, empowering the Corporate Accounting Team for efficient future ledger management.
• Contribute to key cross-business schedules that support acquisition accounting and intercompany cross-charges, driving transparency and alignment across teams.

Your Experience

• You are a qualified professional accountant (Chartered Accountant, CPA, or similar) with a strong track record.
• You bring 5-8 years of post-qualification experience, with a demonstrated ability to lead and influence financial operations at a senior level.
• Experience in an IT, software, or technology company is highly desirable, though we welcome expertise from diverse sectors.
• You are a strategic thinker with a focus on execution, and you thrive in environments that offer both challenge and opportunity for growth.
