Under the Pallas Group umbrella, we have two purpose-driven, ambitious brands inspired by a passion for excellence within the funds management and property industries.

Pallas Capital is a debt and equity fund manager specialising in the financing of Australian and Current Zealand Commercial Real Estate. The business was established in direct response to the growing lack of credit in Australia's mid-range property market; a situation exacerbated by the shortage of reputable, risk-adverse, non-bank lenders.

Fortis our property development management business, has a portfolio of more than $750 million in successfully completed residential and commercial projects, with a further $560 million to be completed by the end of the year.

As a result of continued growth, Pallas Group is seeking a motivated Assistant Accountant to join our team at our Sydney Head Office in Double Bay. Supporting Fortis, this role offers the opportunity to gain exposure across a broad range of accounting and finance activities within a fast-growing property development business.

The successful candidate will be required to work from the office five days per week.
