Group Reporting Accountant

Property intelligence is reshaping how the world understands the built environment, and Nearmap is driving that. We put powerful aerial imagery, AI-driven analytics, and geospatial tools into the hands of the people who plan, build, insure, and govern the places we all live and work. Our technology turns property uncertainty into decisive action, and our culture brings out the best in the people who build it. We move fast, we care about craft, and we're proud of what we're building. If you're energized by turning hard problems into real-world impact, we'd love to meet you.

What you’ll do

Reporting to our Manager, Group Reporting, you’ll be an experienced, hands-on member of Nearmap’s Group Accounting team, owning key parts of our financial reporting so it’s accurate, compliant, and audit-ready. You’ll drive month-end close, Group consolidation, and preparation of statutory financial statements, and bring a strong point of view on Australian tax, transfer pricing, and process improvement. You’ll partner with our Financial Control, FP&A, and Commercial Finance teams across Australia and the US, as well as our external auditors and tax advisors. It’s a strong seat for an experienced accountant - ideally an assistant manager or newly promoted manager from a Big 4 or similar background - who wants real ownership inside a fast-moving, PE-owned business, working closely with our Senior Group Accountant, Manager, Group Reporting, and Director, Group Reporting.

• Own month-end close, including preparing and completing balance sheet reconciliations and posting journals for your assigned accounts.
• Manage the Group consolidation process, ensuring it’s accurate, timely, and aligned with reporting standards.
• Lead preparation of monthly and annual statutory financial statements, and pull together underlying financial information for our external advisors.
• Prepare monthly variance analysis to support management’s review of business performance.
• Lead external audits as central point of contact — coordinating testing, responding to auditor queries, and preparing supporting documentation.
• Manage direct tax and transfer pricing matters, including compliance documentation, working alongside our external tax advisors and Group Tax Manager.
• Prepare and reconcile intercompany transactions as part of the Group’s consolidation process.
• Liaise with the ATO and state and territory revenue offices as required.
• Monitor and research new and amended accounting standards, forming a view on their impact on the Group’s financial statements and recommending how we respond.
• Identify and drive process improvement initiatives that make month-end and reporting more efficient.
• Contribute to ad hoc finance projects and initiatives as they arise, partnering across teams on assignments that support the wider business.
• Maintain compliance with internal controls, company policies, and our Code of Conduct.

About you

• You’re detail-obsessed. Numbers need to tie out, and you won’t sign off until they do — you catch the small things before they become big problems.
• You’re a systems thinker. You care about getting the process right, not just the output, so the team’s month-end runs smoother each cycle.
• You’re a creative problem solver. Challenges don’t slow you down — they sharpen you. When you hit a roadblock, you get curious, look at things from a different angle, and find paths forward that others might not have considered.
• You’re curious. You don’t just book the entry — you want to understand why it’s booked that way, and what the standard behind it actually says.
• You’re a team player. You’re generous with what you know, comfortable pressure-testing ideas, and happy to pitch in wherever it’s needed most during busy periods.

What you’ll bring

• Tertiary qualifications in accounting, commerce, or a related field.
• CA/CPA qualified required.
• 4+ years experience in an accounting or finance role, with exposure to financial reporting and global consolidations essential.
• Exposure to multi-currency consolidations, transfer pricing and tax experience viewed favourably.
• Strong knowledge of Australian Accounting Standards (AASB), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with an eagerness to build on it.
• Big 4 experience, or exposure to an ASX-listed or SaaS/subscription business, viewed favourably.
• Advanced Excel skills, with experience in NetSuite, Salesforce and similar accounting/ERP systems preferable.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and an ability to deliver complex messages simplistically.
• Strong time management and high attention to detail with an ability to work in a fast paced, highly dynamic environment.
