Finance Systems Accountant

The company:

Robert Half are partnering with a well-established not-for-profit in the Melbourne CBD to find a Systems Accountant. This is a 6 to 8 month contract with a clear intention to make the role permanent.

The group is growing following a recent merger. This role will lead the finance systems side of that growth, while also owning core month end and reporting. It's a rare mix of project and BAU work in a purpose-driven organisation.

Our client offers a collaborative and friendly working culture with the opportunity to work from home on a hybrid model.

The role

• Prepare monthly, quarterly and annual management accounts, dashboards and reports.

• Analyse revenue, costs, margins and KPIs, with clear commentary on variances.

• Build financial models and scenario analysis to support key decisions.

• Lead the annual budget and forecasts with budget owners.

• Challenge assumptions and track performance, flagging issues and recommending action.

• Prepare and review journals, accruals, prepayments, allocations and reconciliations.

• Support month end and year end close, audit and statutory reporting.

• Maintain strong financial controls and audit-ready records.

• Partner with leaders and budget owners, turning numbers into practical insight.

• Support business cases, pricing, investment decisions and cost management.

• Improve reporting and finance processes through automation and better use of systems.

• Maintain the integrity of financial data and reporting structures.

• Support system migrations and implementations, including data cleansing, UAT and go-live.

Your profile:

• CA or CPA qualified, or close to completion.

  * A track record in system implementation, data migration or entity integration.

  * Solid month end and consolidation experience across multiple entities.

  * Confident working with senior stakeholders, system users and external vendors.

  * Not-for-profit experience is a bonus but not essential.
