Multi-entity view
Role scope
Capability that fits the controls you already use.
We recruit for the work, systems, communication style and experience you define. You interview the shortlisted candidates and decide who joins your team. The successful person works full-time for your business rather than moving between unrelated client task queues.
Typical responsibilities
- Prepare multi-entity reporting schedules and consolidation inputs
- Maintain general-ledger and balance-sheet reconciliations
- Coordinate month-end information across entities
- Support budgets, forecasts and variance analysis
- Prepare audit schedules and resolve review queries
A good role brief
Define success before recruitment starts.
Candidate quality depends on a clear brief. We will help separate the essential capabilities from preferences, map decision rights and identify the practical working conditions.
Useful signals to include
- Entity count, reporting calendars and currencies
- Consolidation method and intercompany processes
- Chart-of-accounts consistency and data quality
- Audit support and year-end workload
- The level of coordination expected across local teams
Professional qualifications and software experience are candidate-specific. They are confirmed during recruitment; we do not imply that every candidate holds the same credentials.
Responsibility boundary
Preparation and analysis stay connected to accountable review.
The dedicated accountant prepares and coordinates within your policies. Consolidation judgements, statutory accounts, tax positions, audit representations and final approvals remain with you and your appointed advisers.
Operating rhythm
Working across entities, month after month.
Every business runs its own calendar. This is the shape the role usually takes, and a useful starting point for the conversation about what yours needs.
| When | What the role carries |
|---|---|
| Weekly | Maintain intercompany balances and chase the entity-level information that holds up consolidation. |
| Month-end | Prepare consolidation inputs, reconcile balance-sheet accounts across entities and resolve elimination differences. |
| Quarterly | Refresh entity-level budgets and forecasts and prepare variance commentary for group review. |
| Annually | Build audit schedules for each entity and track reviewer queries through to closure. |
| Continuously | Keep the chart of accounts consistent as entities are added, restructured or retired. |
Systems and credentials
Recruit for your stack, verify the individual.
Experience across NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, Reckon and ADP Payroll exists within the wider team, and Australian payroll workflows including STP Phase 1 and 2 are familiar territory. What matters is the person you interview, not the list.
Professional credentials, including CPA, CA, CMA, bookkeeping and payroll certifications, Xero and MYOB certifications, are candidate-specific. We verify them during recruitment and show you the evidence before you decide. We do not claim that every employee holds every qualification, and where you need a specific certification we can agree training toward it.
Commonly relevant here
- Multi-entity ledgers in NetSuite, Oracle or SAP
- Xero or MYOB where each entity is kept separately
- Consolidation and intercompany tooling already in place
- Currency translation and group reporting hierarchies

Questions and answers
Practical details
How many entities can one group accountant support?
It depends on transaction volume, how consistent the chart of accounts is and how much of the consolidation is automated. We would rather scope that from your actual close timetable than quote a number.
Who makes the consolidation judgements?
Your business and its advisers. The dedicated accountant prepares within your accounting policies; consolidation judgements, statutory accounts, tax positions and audit representations stay with you.
Can they work with our auditors directly?
Where you want that, yes. In practice this means preparing schedules and answering factual queries, with representations and sign-off coming from your accountable people.
