Looking to break into Supply Chain | Rhodes location
Candidates from Business Advisory encouraged to apply
Full-time | $95-$105k plus Super depending on experience
 
We are partnering with a leading global supply chain and logistics business with a highly asset-intensive operation across warehouses and transport fleets, MHE, racking, automation and IT infrastructure. With ongoing investment in new sites, technology and equipment, they are looking for a commercially minded Fixed Assets Accountant to take ownership of the fixed asset function and establish a robust tax asset register for the Australian business.

This is an ideal opportunity for a technically strong Accountant who enjoys working close to operations, understands or wants to deepen exposure to tax treatment of fixed assets, and is comfortable building structure and process in a fast-paced environment.
 
The opportunity
Reporting to the Accounting Manager, you will:

• Own the end-to-end  fixed asset lifecycle: additions, disposals, transfers, impairments and reclassifications.
• Maintain and improve the  fixed asset register, ensuring alignment with GL, project accounting and operational records.
• Establish and maintain a  tax asset register, including tax-effective lives, pooling, balancing adjustments and reconciliation to statutory fixed asset registers.
• Prepare and review  depreciation calculations  (accounting and tax), journals and reconciliations.
• Work closely with Operations and Commercial teams to ensure capex is correctly capitalised (vs opex), supported, and aligned to contracts and project approvals.
• Support  capex governance: tracking project spend, monitoring WIP, and ensuring timely capitalisation on project completion.
• Provide analysis and commentary on asset utilisation, disposals, write-offs and impairments to support decision-making.
• Assist with  tax compliance  relating to fixed assets (e.g. tax return schedules, temporary differences, capital allowances) in collaboration with Group Tax.
• Prepare supporting schedules and respond to queries for  external audit and internal audit.
• Identify and drive  process improvements  in fixed asset recording, controls and reporting, including automation and improved data quality.

• CA/CPA qualification (or near-complete), with 3-5+ years' experience in  financial accounting.
• Experience in a  capital-intensive environment  (e.g. logistics, manufacturing, infrastructure, utilities, mining, transport or similar).
• Strong working knowledge of  fixed assets accounting: capitalisation rules, depreciation, WIP, disposals, impairments and reconciliations.
• Exposure to  tax concepts  for fixed assets (capital allowances, effective lives, tax vs accounting depreciation, temporary differences); hands-on experience with tax asset registers is highly regarded.
• Solid Excel skills and experience with large ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Oracle, JDE, D365, or similar).
• Strong attention to detail, comfort with large data sets and a disciplined approach to reconciliations and controls.
• Confidence liaising with operations, project managers and commercial teams to validate asset information and challenge assumptions where needed.
• A continuous improvement mindset - you enjoy fixing processes, not just repeating them.

• The chance to  build and own  the fixed asset and tax asset register in a large, complex business.
• Exposure to major warehouse, automation and fleet investments and the opportunity to work closely with operations.
• Supportive finance leadership that values accuracy, insight and process improvement.
• Competitive salary, bonus and benefits, with genuine scope to grow your career within a global group.
