Position Summary

What You’ll Do

Monthly Close & Financial Reporting

Own the monthly close calendar for ANZ OpCos, driving on-time, accurate financial submissions into Pine’s consolidation reporting package

Review OpCo trial balances, flux analyses, and income statements prior to submission to the US team, serving as the regional quality gate

Identify and resolve reporting discrepancies, classification issues, and cut-off errors at the source, before escalation

Prepare and maintain AUD-to-USD foreign currency translation workpapers in compliance with ASC 830 / AASB 121

Audit Management

Serve as the primary regional coordinator for both US GAAP consolidation audits and Australian statutory audits, managing requests, timelines, and PBC deliverables across ANZ entities

Liaise with external auditors (local and US-based) on behalf of ANZ OpCos, ensuring fieldwork proceeds efficiently and findings are addressed promptly

Maintain audit-ready workpapers and supporting schedules year-round, not just during audit season

Tax & Statutory Compliance

Coordinate ANZ tax compliance workflows, including GST/BAS lodgements, income tax returns, and payroll tax obligations, in partnership with Pine’s external tax advisors and the US finance team

Monitor entity-level statutory filing deadlines across Australia and New Zealand and ensure timely completion

Support transfer pricing documentation and intercompany transaction substantiation as required

Act as the primary accounting point of contact for ANZ OpCo finance leads, providing guidance on technical accounting questions, policy application, and reporting requirements

Identify control gaps or process inconsistencies at the OpCo level and work collaboratively to implement improvements

Support new OpCo onboarding and integration into Pine’s reporting infrastructure, including chart of accounts mapping and ERP alignment

Solid technical grounding in Australian statutory reporting (AASB standards), GST/BAS compliance, and payroll tax frameworks

Working knowledge of US GAAP, particularly consolidation (ASC 810), revenue recognition (ASC 606), and foreign currency (ASC 830), or demonstrated ability to work within a US GAAP reporting environment

Experience with ERP platforms (Business Central, MYOB, Acumatica, or similar); comfort navigating multiple systems

Strong attention to detail with a bias toward clean, well-organized deliverables

Self-directed and comfortable operating across time zones with limited day-to-day supervision

Clear, confident communicator, able to translate accounting issues for non-accounting OpCo stakeholders and escalate the right things to a US-based leadership team

What Makes This Role Unique

This isn’t a routine close-and-report role. You’ll be embedded across a dynamic, growing portfolio of ANZ businesses at different stages of maturity, operating in a PE-backed environment where things move quickly and no two months look the same. You’ll have real ownership of a region, a direct line to the Group Controller, and meaningful exposure to cross-border M&A, audit, and systems work. If you’re motivated by variety, accountability, and building something, this role is for you.
