Jade is entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation. We’re investing in our products, our platforms, our people and the way we work. This role sits at the heart of our Finance team. You'll help ensure our financial reporting is accurate, trusted and well controlled, while looking for better ways to deliver it as our business continues to evolve.

What You’ll Do As our Financial Accountant, you’ll play an important role in delivering accurate, timely and well-controlled financial reporting. You’ll build broad exposure across our Finance function, take ownership of key accounting activities and, as your capability grows, take on increasingly complex work and responsibility.

You will: Deliver key elements of month-end and year-end, including journals, reconciliations and accounting schedules. Take ownership of balance sheet reconciliations, investigating and resolving variances and unusual movements. Prepare and validate financial and management reporting. Support annual audit, tax and statutory reporting requirements.

Maintain strong financial controls and accurate, audit-ready records. Build an understanding across the wider Finance function and provide support where needed. Challenge how we work today and identify simpler, smarter and more effective ways of doing things. Look for opportunities to improve processes, reporting and automation through better use of systems and technology.

What You’ll Bring We're looking for someone with strong accounting foundations, but we're equally interested in how you think. You're likely to be someone who enjoys getting the detail right but also wants to understand the bigger picture behind the numbers. You're curious, take ownership and aren't afraid to ask why something works the way it does or whether there could be a better way.

You'll have: A CA ANZ, CPA Australia or equivalent professional accounting qualification. Strong grounding in accounting principles, journals, reconciliations and financial reporting. Strong numerical accuracy and attention to detail. Curiosity and the confidence to ask questions and challenge constructively. The ability to learn quickly, solve problems and turn ideas into practical improvements.

Strong organisation and the ability to manage competing priorities and fixed deadlines. Clear communication skills and a collaborative, flexible approach. Confidence using Excel and the willingness to make better use of systems, automation and emerging technology.
