Financial Reporting Manager

A reporting leadership role built for people who get bored easily.

Most reporting leadership jobs keep you stuck in the same monthly close cycle forever. This one hands you real breadth, statutory accounts, APRA returns, a spot on M&A activity, a finance systems transformation, and a direct line into the CFO reporting pack. If you're a Reporting expert who wants more than tick the box reporting, this is worth reading properly.

This search is for a large insurance business, and once you see the actual scope, it's a genuinely strong next step for someone ready to lead rather than just process. Here's what that actually looks like day to day.

Real leadership, not just a title on your card

You'll manage a team and actually own their development, setting clear targets and a proper growth plan, not just handing out workload.

You're the custodian of the chart of accounts and reporting hierarchies, so your decisions shape how the whole business reads its own numbers.

Direct exposure to the CFO through the monthly CFO and Distribution Pack,
your work lands in front of the people actually making the calls.

Technical depth that keeps building your CV, not just your inbox

Ownership of the Annual Group Statutory Accounts and the quarterly and annual APRA returns, the kind of experience that's genuinely hard to get outside insurance.

You'll lead the annual interim external audit and support the year end audit, working directly with external auditors rather than just feeding them documents.

Exposure to Life Finance and Actuarial and Pricing teams, which broadens your technical range well past a standard reporting brief.

Projects that actually move the needle

Involvement in mergers and acquisitions activity.

A finance systems transformation and general ledger upgrade.

Implementation of new accounting software, so you're shaping the tools the finance function will run on for years, not just working within someone else's setup.

Stability with variety, which is rare
Insurance is one of the more resilient sectors right now, and regulatory complexity means demand for people who genuinely understand it isn't slowing down.

Sydney Head Office base, sitting inside an established CFO Division with real structure around you, not a one person reporting function propping up the whole close.

If you're a qualified accountant with solid insurance exposure (private health, general or life) and you're ready to stop just processing the numbers and start owning them, this is worth a proper conversation.
