Mazars is a globally integrated audit, tax and advisory firm with offices in over 100 countries - and we're making a name for ourselves here in Australia. The APAC Energy & Infrastructure team works with sponsors, investors and banks to create and maintain strong financial structures for projects. We apply this throughout the project lifecycle, from development and financial close through to the operating phases of projects. The team has built up an extensive track record in project finance transactions in over 30 markets, supporting investment funds, developers, global contractors and other sponsors and lenders.

Role: Deliver and help to develop financial modelling training courses across the Asia Pacific region from a base in Sydney. This role is part of the global financial modelling community, collaborating with teams from Singapore, London, Paris, Toronto, New York and Delhi on quality and course development. It sits within the Mazars APAC Energy and Infrastructure team, working alongside our model audit, model build and valuations teams to deliver value for our clients.

Examples of activities undertaken by the role include:

• In-house training to a utility company in Melbourne or an investment banking team in Sydney
