Your Role
The Head of Accounting and Consolidation is responsible for overseeing group accounting, financial close, and consolidation activities across the organisation. This role ensures the integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of financial reporting in accordance with applicable accounting standards, regulatory requirements, and internal controls.
The role provides leadership over statutory reporting, group consolidation, and technical accounting matters, while driving consistency, efficiency, and continuous improvement across the accounting function.
You will operate as a trusted partner to the Regional Head of Finance, balancing technical excellence with people leadership in a fast-moving, regulated, and increasingly complex environment.
What You’ll Own
- You own end-to-end accounting — month-end to year end close, statutory and regulatory reporting — and the confidence that comes with getting it right, every time.
- You set and enforce strong accounting governance, controls, and documentation in line with statutory requirements. Clean books. Clear audit trails. No surprises.
- You are the primary accounting partner to auditors, tax advisors, actuaries, and regulaors — credible, prepared, and in control.
- You build, coach, and retain an accounting team that operates with clarity, ownership, and independence — not one that waits to be told what to do.
- You ensure accounting data is accurate end-to-end — from front-end systems through to the ledger — and you fix issues at the root, not with patches.
- You continuously raise the bar on close discipline, controls, and workflows, using automation, systems, and AI where it makes sense.
- You support finance transformation — process redesign, operating model shifts — and make sure change actually works in practice.

- Own and maintain accounting policies, controls, workflows, and documentation in line with IFRS, local GAAP, and regulatory requirements

- Ensure data integrity across accounting systems and front-end interfaces
- Act as the primary accounting partner to auditors, tax advisors, actuaries, regulators, and authorities
- Review actuarial reserve calculations, tax computations, and GST filings prepared by external advisors
