Senior Financial Accountant

Join an awesome Finance team! | Sydney CBD | Hybrid/Flexible working

Lighthouse Service Partners is on a mission to become Australia's best multi-trades home services platform. We've grown to 700+ employees and we're just getting started. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, you'll be a foundational member of the HoldCo accounting team, with real visibility into how a Private Equity-backed platform actually scales.

What you'll be doing:

Financial reporting & month-end close

• Own your share of monthly financial statements prepared to AASB standard, run balance sheet reconciliations and journals, and support consolidation as we bring new legal entities into the group.

Systems & process automation

• Help implement and configure our core finance systems (ERP and reporting tools), support integration of newly acquired businesses, and find the manual processes worth automating — reconciliations, reporting packs, workflow approvals.

Tax compliance & audit support

• Prepare and review BAS and payroll tax, support FBT and income tax compliance alongside our external advisors

Core financial operations & acquisition integration

• Support day-to-day AP, AR, fixed assets and lease accounting, help onboard the accounting records of newly acquired businesses, and strengthen controls as the group grows.

Ad-hoc and operational support

• Build reports and insights for management, and back up the FC wherever the priority sits that week.

What you'll bring:

• CA qualified, 2-5+ years PQE

• Previous hands-on use of NetSuite would be desirable but not essential

• Strong technical grounding in AASB/IFRS and Australian tax (corporate tax, GST, payroll tax)

• Experience preparing monthly management accounts, reconciliations, and supporting year-end audits

• Some exposure to ERP implementation — leading or supporting

• Advanced Excel, and the analytical instinct to know when a number looks wrong before you can prove it

• The ability to manage competing priorities independently, without losing precision

It would be great, but isn't essential, if you also have:

• A background in a Big 4 or mid-tier professional services firm

• Experience in a PE-backed, multi-entity, or high-growth environment

• Exposure to acquisition accounting and post-merger integration

• Experience working across states (NSW, QLD, VIC) with differing tax and payroll rules

Why this role

This is a rare ground-floor seat in a PE-backed platform that's scaling fast and hasn't yet ossified. You'll build systems rather than inherit them, work across a genuinely multi-entity structure as new acquisitions land, and get direct exposure to a Financial Controller, external auditors, tax advisors, and integration teams — the kind of breadth that typically takes years longer to reach in a more established finance function.

If you want your fingerprints on how a finance function gets built rather than just how it's run, this is that role.
