About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Financial Accountant to keep our month‑end close accurate, well‑maintained, and audit‑ready. You will own revenue recognition entries and core month‑end journals, run the close, support tax and audit compliance, and lead a small offshore finance team.
Key Responsibilities
- Post revenue entries in Xero each period, applying the revenue recognition policy independently and flagging edge cases or judgement calls to the Finance Manager.
- Prepare and post month‑end journals, including accruals, prepayments, and non‑routine entries, with clear supporting documentation.
- Run the month‑end close checklist in Asana, following up outstanding items ahead of their deadlines and escalating blockers early so close completes by WD+6.
- Complete reconciliations and close tasks to a standard that requires minimal review, and contribute accurate analysis and variance commentary to management reporting.
- Review journals and reconciliations prepared by less experienced team members, coaching through errors rather than quietly correcting them.
- Oversee the fixed asset register and intercompany reconciliations across Traild entities, signing off the monthly reconciliation to the general ledger.
- Act as the accounting‑side reference point for our Tax and Compliance Specialist, and provide workpapers, reconciliations, and supporting documentation for the external audit.
- Own data quality and integrity in Xero for the ledgers you are responsible for, and partner with our BI Analyst so clean, reconciled data flows into reporting.
- Design scalable processes and document them as SOPs, embedding practical AI use cases where they cut manual effort out of the close.
- Lead a small offshore finance team: set expectations for quality and turnaround, build technical capability through training and feedback, and run a regular cadence of one‑to‑ones across time zones.
Who You Are
- CA/CPA qualified, or actively working towards it.
- 5+ years in a technical accounting role, with strong exposure to revenue recognition, month‑end close, and multi‑entity reconciliations, ideally in a subscription or SaaS business.
- Deep, hands‑on Xero experience and advanced Excel or Sheets for reconciliations and close workpapers.
- Experience reviewing the work of a more junior or offshore accountant, including setting process and quality standards, giving direct feedback, and knowing when to step in.
- A working understanding of tax treatment and compliance, enough to act as the accounting‑side reference point (preparing lodgements sits with our Tax and Compliance Specialist).
- Comfortable making and defending accounting treatment calls, and arriving at an escalation with a recommendation rather than only a question.
- Methodical and self‑managing, holding the same standard every close with little supervision, and able to explain accounting treatment clearly to non‑technical colleagues.
- Based in Australia, ideally Melbourne or Sydney, and comfortable working day to day with colleagues in another time zone.
- Strong collaborator with an attitude embracing growth, hands‑on execution, adaptability, and the scale‑up spirit.
Perks of Working at Traild
- Flexibility: we offer a range of remote, hybrid and flexible working options.
- Global team: we are growing across APAC, NA and EMEA and have team all across the world.
- Exponential growth: an opportunity to get involved with a true rocketship with all the excitement and opportunities that comes with it.
- High employee satisfaction: our eNPS score is 78, where anything above 50 is considered world‑class.
