ABOUT THE ROLE

We have a fantastic Accounting Technician opportunity within the Consolidation, Cost and Capital area of the Centre for Accounting. Consolidation, Cost and Capital covers 4 pillars, Property Capital & Depreciation (PCD), Consolidation, Customer Service and Operations, and Services, IT and Head Office. We work collaboratively within these pillars but you would primarily be working in the Property, Capital & Depreciation pillar. In all of these areas, you will have the opportunity to develop your technical accounting skills and work collaboratively across finance and the wider business, while managing an area of the balance sheet, or cost for the business. You will be involved in closing the books for each month end, performing balance sheet reconciliations, processing journal entries and helping to produce reporting on the performance of your area. In addition, you will be answering queries and working with the auditors on queries relating to your area. Outside of the day to day activity in the pillars, we are continually seeking to improve our processes and make efficiencies in how we do our work, so you would be involved in identifying opportunities and working on improvements.
