Role Summary
Firmus is seeking an experienced Senior Financial Accountant to lead the month-end close process and ensure the delivery of accurate, timely and insightful financial information across the Group. The role is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the general ledger, driving best-practice financial control processes and supporting the production of high-quality management reporting in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
The Senior Financial Accountant will be responsible for managing the end-to-end month-end and year-end close process, including balance sheet reconciliations, journal processing, intercompany accounting, consolidation activities and financial analysis. The role plays a critical part in ensuring the accuracy, completeness and reliability of financial information while supporting continuous improvement initiatives across finance processes, systems and controls.
Operating within a rapidly scaling technology business, the Senior Financial Accountant will partner closely with finance, commercial, technology and operational teams to strengthen financial controls, improve reporting efficiency and enhance financial visibility across the organisation. The successful candidate will combine strong technical accounting skills with a proactive approach to process improvement, helping to build a scalable and well-controlled finance function capable of supporting future growth.
While external reporting and audit support form part of the role, the primary focus is on financial operations, close management, balance sheet governance, management reporting and the delivery of accurate financial outcomes that enable effective decision-making across the business.

- Maintain ownership of balance sheet integrity, ensuring key accounts are appropriately reconciled, reviewed and supported.
- Review and monitor provisions, accruals, prepayments, leases, fixed assets and other significant balance sheet accounts to ensure compliance with accounting standards and internal policies.
- Support the development and maintenance of financial controls, accounting policies and finance procedures to strengthen the control environment.
- Assist with audit activities, including preparation of audit schedules and responding to auditor requests.
Business Partnering, Reporting & Process Improvement

- Identify opportunities to improve finance processes, automate manual activities and enhance the quality and efficiency of financial reporting.
- Support finance transformation initiatives, system enhancements and the implementation of scalable processes to support the company's continued growth.
