Group Accountant

About DAS

Diploma Australia Seals (“DAS”) is a group of specialist industrial businesses across Australia and part of Diploma PLC, a FTSE 100 international group.

 Our businesses provide engineered products and solutions across mining, infrastructure, water, energy and industrial markets.

 As DAS (the “Group”) continues to grow, we are strengthening our finance team to support the Group’s future.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Group Accountant to join our finance team.

Reporting to the Group Financial Controller, you will initially take accounting ownership of FITT Resources and ACT, with responsibility for month-end close, balance sheet integrity and management reporting. As part of the broader DAS finance team, you will also contribute to Group finance activities, cross-train across our other businesses and provide support and coverage across the Group.

 This is a hands-on role suited to an experienced accountant who enjoys taking responsibility for the full accounting cycle and working across a diverse group of businesses.

What You’ll Do

• Take primary accounting ownership for your allocated business or businesses, initially FITT Resources and ACT
• Own month-end close, management reporting and balance sheet integrity
• Work closely with transactional colleagues to oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable and payroll
• Prepare budgets and forecasts
• Own business-level tax compliance requirements, including BAS, FBT and payroll tax
• Coordinate audit requirements for allocated businesses, including preparation of supporting schedules and management of audit requests
• Maintain strong financial controls and meet Group reporting requirements
• Analyse financial results and provide clear commentary on performance
• Support effective working capital management, including inventory, receivables, payables and cash flow
• Identify and implement improvements across finance processes and systems
• Cross-train across other DAS businesses to provide effective coverage and support
• Work collaboratively as part of the broader DAS finance team

About You

We're looking for an experienced accountant who is comfortable taking ownership and enjoys working in a hands-on finance role.

You’ll ideally bring:

• CA/CPA qualification or be working towards completion
• Strong financial and management accounting experience
• Experience managing month-end and balance sheet processes
• Sound knowledge of Australian tax and compliance requirements
• Experience with budgeting and forecasting
• Strong Excel and accounting systems capability
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accurate, timely reporting
• A collaborative approach and willingness to work closely with and support the wider finance team
• A proactive approach with the ability to work independently and manage competing priorities

Why Join DAS?

Join a growing Australian group backed by Diploma PLC, a FTSE 100 international organisation, with the autonomy to take ownership of your role while being part of a connected finance team.

This role offers broader exposure than a traditional entity accounting position. You'll initially take ownership of an established operating business while developing experience across multiple DAS businesses, Group reporting, acquisitions and finance integration as the Group continues to grow.

 You'll have:

• Genuine ownership and accountability
• Broad exposure across the full accounting function
• A collaborative team that values knowledge sharing and cross-training
• The chance to contribute to how we improve our systems, processes, and ways of working
• Opportunities to develop and grow your career as DAS continues to evolve
