This probably isn't the Senior Accountant role you're used to.

We're redesigning the way our finance function operates. AI will increasingly support our monthly financial reporting. Automation will take on much of our Accounts Receivable workflow. 

An offshore finance resource will complete bank reconciliations. But none of that removes the need for a great accountant. In fact, it makes having the right accountant even more important.

We're looking for a Senior Accountant who understands one very important principle: AI can do the task. You own the outcome.

You'll own our monthly numbers, oversee actual versus budget performance, review and challenge AI-generated financial outputs, manage exceptions, maintain strong financial controls and make sure that what comes out of our systems is actually right. You'll also help us work out what we should automate next. This role is for someone who looks at repetitive finance administration and thinks, “there has to be a smarter way to do this.”

You'll take responsibility for: Monthly financial reporting and month-end

Actual versus budget analysis

Financial commentary and variance analysis

Oversight of offshore bank reconciliations

AI-enabled Accounts Receivable and debtor performance

Accounts Payable controls

Credit and compliance

Corporate credit cards

Tax and regulatory requirements

AI, automation and continuous improvement

You'll still need excellent accounting fundamentals. But we're equally interested in how you think. We want someone already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or other AI and automation platforms and who understands that using AI well means questioning, validating and controlling its output.

You'll probably love this role if you: Are genuinely interested in AI and automation

Want to spend less time on repetitive processing

Enjoy analysing numbers rather than simply producing them

Like improving broken or inefficient processes

Are comfortable managing work completed offshore

Take ownership when something isn't right

Are confident working independently

Want to help build what a modern finance function looks like 

 If your idea of the future of accounting is simply doing the same work with slightly newer software, this probably isn't the role for you. If you're thinking “finance should be working very differently over the next five years”, we'd love to hear from you.

At Sirius, our AI journey is supported by Stephanie, our AI recruitment and automation capability. Stephanie is already embedded across parts of our business, helping us rethink how work gets done and where automation can create better outcomes.
