- Preparing monthly GST and quarterly FBT returns
- Business partnering activities including Power BI reporting and commercial analysis
- Systems support and ongoing process improvements using Pronto, Neodocs and Concur

**The Person**

To be considered for this role, you will have previous experience in an accounting role. You will be tech savvy, passionate about understanding how a business works and have an interest in the agri sector. You will be excited about how you can make a difference and will constantly look for opportunities to add value. You will have a positive attitude, be naturally inquisitive and willing to take ownership and be held accountable. An interest in process improvement and a passion for excellence is required, along with competence in working with MS Office and ERP/accounting systems.
