Company Accountant

The organisation

Australian Agricultural Minerals is a private, Australian owned group that mines, processes, and sells high quality specialty minerals to the Agricultural, Livestock, Mining and Manufacturing industries. We have operations near Toowoomba and Innisfail, and an executive team in Brisbane.

The opportunity

You will coordinate the financial and administrative functions for the group, ensuring proactive management, accuracy, timeliness, and efficiency. This role is instrumental in supporting the business to make informed decisions, whilst at the same time making sure all compliance obligations are met. 

This is a hands-on role, where you will be supported by a part time bookkeeper and site based administration staff who will process customer invoices, invoice entry, payroll and select month end tasks. 

The role can be based in Brisbane (currently work from home), or in our Innisfail office. You will regularly visit our sites and work closely with the site based teams.

Key responsibilities include:

Reporting to the CEO, you will be a key member of a small and close leadership team. In this role you will:

• Lead the financial management of the business, including financial forecasting (and business cases), budget management and monthly management and board reporting;
• Maintain delegation of authority and ensure compliance;
• Prepare and own a reporting and compliance obligation timetable;
• Prepare a 12-week cash flow projection monthly;
• Manage monthly reporting, including preparing journals, balance sheet reconciliations, budget variance analysis and working with the site managers to prepare commentary;
• Monthly reforecast (Profit, Balance Sheet, Cashflow) to end of year with the site managers;
• Profit centre reporting and management within Xero;
• Co-ordinate monthly repairs and maintenance and other cost control review sessions with site managers;
• Prepare BAS, income tax, FBT returns, and other ATO documents within required timeframes with support from external tax consultants;
• Accurate and timely review of payroll, superannuation and PAYG returns;
• Co-ordinate the weekly supplier payment runs;
• Identify and implement process improvement initiatives; and
• Supervise a small team to ensure timely and accurate invoicing and debtor control.

Must have skills / experience

To be successful in this role, you will have experience working in a similar role to this. You love being hands on and naturally look forward to preparing 3 way models (a wizard in Excel). You will also need to be someone who can look at processes and proactively devise the best and most efficient way. 

Advanced experience using Xero (including profit centre accounting) and Fathom, or similar are an advantage.
