- Provide specialist advice on regulatory reporting obligations, particularly across balance sheet and statistical reporting.
- Interpret new and changing regulatory requirements and assess their impact on the business.

- Support the business in maintaining compliance with relevant regulatory obligations and reporting standards.
- Work closely with senior Finance and Risk stakeholders to resolve technical reporting matters.
- Engage with regulators and other external stakeholders when required.
- Identify emerging regulatory and operational risks and provide forward-looking insight to senior management.
About you
We are seeking an experienced regulatory reporting or financial accounting professional who combines strong technical knowledge with the ability to operate effectively in a senior advisory environment.
Ideally, you will bring:
- 12+ years' experience within financial services, banking or a related environment.
- A relevant tertiary qualification in Accounting, Commerce, Business or a similar discipline.
- CA, CPA or an equivalent professional accounting qualification.
- Strong knowledge of regulatory reporting requirements and financial reporting standards.
- Demonstrated ability to interpret complex regulatory requirements and apply sound professional judgement.
- Experience providing technical advice and guidance to senior stakeholders.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex issues for non-specialist audiences.
- Experience working through regulatory change and assessing its impact on reporting processes and controls.
- Exposure to regulatory registration, notification or approval processes would be advantageous.
- A proactive and analytical approach, with the confidence to form and communicate an independent view.
Why consider the opportunity?
This is a high-impact role within a sophisticated financial services environment, offering the opportunity to influence regulatory reporting standards, governance and processes across a complex organisation.
The position would suit someone who enjoys operating at the intersection of regulation, accounting, reporting, governance and stakeholder advisory, rather than focusing solely on production-based reporting.
