Group Accountant & Portfolio Analyst

The Opportunity

Byblos Group is seeking an experienced Group Accountant & Portfolio Analyst to join our Perth team.

Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, this is a broad role combining multi-entity accounting with property, investment and project financial analysis. It is well suited to an accountant looking to move beyond traditional financial reporting into a more commercially focused position.

Reporting & Reconciliations

• Driving the end-to-end monthly close cycle, including GL reconciliations, accrual and prepayment schedules, and balance sheet integrity checks
• Preparing management and financial reports that translate raw data into commercially useful insight
• Building and maintaining budgets, cash flow models, and forecasting tools used across the business
• Overseeing project and job costing, including invoicing accuracy across active sites

Compliance & Payroll

• Preparing and lodging monthly BAS, PAYG, and other statutory obligations
• Acting as a trusted backup across payroll and broader finance functions, stepping in confidently when team members are on leave so continuity is never at risk
• Supporting new customer onboarding, credit risk assessment, and vendor accreditation processes
• Preparing year-end financial statements and audit-ready workpapers for external accountants

Commercial & Leadership Contribution

• Mentoring less experienced finance staff and contributing to their technical development
• Identifying and implementing improvements to financial controls, systems, and reporting processes
• Partnering with operational and commercial stakeholders across sites to resolve finance-related queries
• Contributing to ad hoc financial modelling and strategic initiatives as the business scales

What You Bring

• Degree-qualified in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline; CA or CPA highly regarded
• A minimum of five years' post-qualification experience in accounting or financial reporting
• Demonstrated technical knowledge of BAS, payroll tax, and superannuation legislation
• Exposure to job-costing or project-based accounting systems and enterprise financial platforms (e.g. NetSuite)
• A background in a commercial, industrial, construction, or mining environment is strongly preferred
• Confidence operating with autonomy, and the judgement to know when to escalate

The Fine Print

This is an opportunity to work closely with senior finance leadership and gain broader exposure across property, investments, project performance and portfolio analysis.

If you are an experienced accountant looking for a role with greater variety, responsibility and commercial exposure, we would like to hear from you.
