Job Description

  • Take your career to the next level

  • Exciting time for the organisation as they embark on growth

  • Fantastic, supportive team environment

About the organisation
Throughout The Mutual Bank’s 134-year history, many things in the banking and financial services world have changed, and The Mutual Bank is no different in many areas such as the use of technology, substantial growth of assets and the evolution of financial products and services…….however there is one thing that hasn’t changed at The Mutual Bank and that is that they continue to genuinely put their Members at the forefront of every decision they make. 

The Mutual Bank has a network of 7 locally based branches and the outstanding newly built head office at East Maitland that is home to the Member Call Centre and Corporate team. There are big growth plans for the organisation; their current geographical footprint is within major growth corridors for our Region and the organisation has plans to expand to meet the increasing population.  You can be part of this!

About the role
The position is a newly created and an additional resource for the Finance Team.  You will report to the Finance Manager and be mentored for career growth by both the Finance Manager and CFO. 

The role of Accountant will be varied, and you will support the business by undertaking functions across both management and financial accounting.  No two days will be the same!   

Functions and responsibilities of the role include, but not limited to:

  • Assisting in the preparation of the annual budget and 3 years business plan

  • Preparing rolling forecasts throughout the year

  • Assisting with end of month accounting including general reconciliations and general ledger reconciliations

  • Working with other members of the Finance Team to resolve actions arising from internal and external budgets

  • Performing a range of maintenance and business improvement tasks, in a support capacity, including finance system upgrades and improvements to the payroll system

About you
The position is perfectly suited to an Accountant with 2-3 years’ experience and looking for that next step to expand their commercial experience. Candidates currently working in chartered accounting and wanting to step into a commercial accounting role are also encouraged to apply. We are seeking applicants who have completed an under-graduate qualification in Commerce or Accounting and have a desire to achieve CA or CPA status, if not already achieved.

At The Mutual Bank, the culture fit within the team is a very integral part of their success; a sense of community and genuine interest in making a difference!  Their values of Integrity, Respect and Care are truly lived in the team environment and the way in which they interact with Members. 

The benefits
The organisation is conveniently located right next door to Stockland, Greenhills where you can enjoy time out during lunch.  The Mutual Bank provides onsite parking for every employee…..which is often not the case!  They also offer a corporate gym membership program.  You will be supported in career development opportunities and personal growth and not be just a number; your contribution will be recognised.
