LGT Wealth Management was formed around a clear and uncompromising vision - to bring global best practice in building institutional quality investment portfolios to Australian clients. With a shared passion for building an uncompromised business - we created something new from the ground up. A chance to leave behind the things that weren't working, while enhancing the things that were. Our authentic and personalised client-first commitment. Our entrepreneurial spirit. Our focus in best-in-class advice. And our intimate understanding of the Australian private wealth landscape. In 2022 we became a part of the LGT Group, who shared our entrepreneurial spirit, long-term approach and private-ownership model. Today, with the global expertise, stability, and capability of LGT behind us, we can work without being reliant on markets or margins, with a singular focus on giving our clients the advice and deep expertise they need for generations to come. We're looking for a Senior Financial Accountant to play a key dual role: delivering high-quality financial control outcomes while helping drive meaningful transformation across finance. This role offers a unique blend of hands-on technical accounting and impactful change initiatives, with exposure to system enhancements, process optimisation and automation. If you're someone who enjoys improving how things work-not just maintaining them-this role will give you the platform to make a real impact. This is a 12-month fixed-term opportunity, with possibility for extension.
