About the Company
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.
Responsibilities
- ● 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.
- ● 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.
- ● Prepare and review BAS and payroll tax, support FBT and income tax compliance alongside our external advisors
- ● 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.
- ● Build reports and insights for management, and back up the FC wherever the priority sits that week.
Requirements
- ● 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
- ● 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
- ● 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.
