Financial Accountant

Financial Accountant – SXGC (Mining/Explorations)

Drive statutory reporting, uplift controls, and partner with the CFO in a growing gold and antimony resources business.

About SXGC:

SXGC is a mining/exploration organisation focused on safe, efficient and ethical operations. We’re building a high-performing finance function to support decision-making across the business.

The Opportunity:

Reporting to the Finance Manager and working closely with the CFO and leadership team, you’ll deliver high-quality financial reporting and maintain a robust control environment. You’ll own statutory reporting cycles (quarterly, half-year and year-end), support month-end close and consolidation, and help evolve our ERP landscape (currently Xero; transitioning to Pronto ahead).

What you’ll do:

• Partner with the CFO and key stakeholders to contribute to SXGC’s financial vision and commercial excellence.

• Prepare Australian statutory accounts (quarterly, half-year, year-end) for submission to our Canadian parent entity.

• Run core month-end activities: intercompany oversight; review and post technical journals; review balance sheet recs; maintain the group consolidation schedule.

• Review monthly costs and investigate variances; provide department managers with monthly variance analysis.

• Work with the CFO to address judgmental accounting matters with the CFO (benchmarking, regulatory compliance); draft accounting position papers, policies and procedures.

• Coordinate external auditors and support the full-year audit.

• Develop strong ERP capability in Xero and assist with administration; help prepare for the transition to Pronto.

• Coordinate inputs for the annual report.

• Identify and deliver process improvements across the group finance environment.

• Keep internal controls, finance policies and procedures current and effective.

• Role model SXGC values and maintain high standards of health, safety and security.

Who you are:

• Degree in Accounting/Commerce/Finance and CPA or CA (completed or near completion).

• 2–3 years’ experience in financial accounting and analysis; Resources or Big 4 experience ideal.

• Hands-on with month-end close, consolidation and financial statements (quarterly/half-year/year-end).

• Strong grasp of technical accounting standards; exposure to a mining/resources environment is required.

• Advanced Excel and solid Microsoft Office skills.

• Familiar with ERP systems (Xero or Pronto).

• A clear communicator with strong analytical skills, high attention to detail and a continuous-improvement mindset.

• Proactive, collaborative and resilient—able to present to varied stakeholders and adapt to change.

• Demonstrates integrity and aligns with SXGC’s principles, ethics, values and Code of Conduct.

Why join us:

• Influence the finance roadmap alongside the CFO.

• Lead end-to-end statutory cycles and meaningful improvements.

• Be part of an organisation committed to safety, accountability and professional growth.
