The Organisation:
This established, privately owned organisation operates a significant portfolio within the property sector.
Based in a gorgeous Brisbane City office, the business combines the scale and commercial exposure of a substantial property portfolio with the accessibility and agility of a family-owned organisation.
The culture is qualified, collaborative and highly supportive, with senior decision-makers accessible to employees and a genuine emphasis on work-life balance.
Rather than regularly expecting extended hours, management actively promotes sustainable workloads and flexibility around personal commitments.
This has contributed to their incredible staff stability with minimal employee turnover.
The Position:
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a broad Group Management Accountant opportunity suited to an Accountant who is still comfortable with financial accounting while broadening out their exposure to budgeting, forecasts, analysis and business partnering.
Responsibilities include:
Prepare management reporting and provide meaningful commentary on financial and property performance
Partner with the CFO, Property Managers and department leaders to support commercial decision-making
Maintain and improve centre-level financial and operational reporting
Support month-end and year-end processes, including accruals, reconciliations and general ledger adjustments
Assist with budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and financial modelling
Manage fortnightly payroll for mostly permanent employees
Prepare and lodge relevant ATO activity statements, including GST, PAYG and FBT instalments
Your Profile:




The organisation is particularly interested in attitude and cultural alignment.
You will be someone who takes initiative, contributes ideas, works collaboratively and is comfortable stepping outside a narrowly defined position description when the team needs support.
You will ideally enjoy working broadly across a business and want greater exposure to management reporting, commercial analysis and business partnering.
You will bring:
CA or CPA qualification, or a relevant accounting background with appropriate experience
Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills as you will be interfacing with managers outside of finance who are not Accountants
A proactive mindset and genuine interest in improving processes and reporting
Strong Excel, Microsoft Office and accounting systems capability
The willingness to work across both higher-level commercial activities and hands-on finance responsibilities
Retail property, shopping centre or real estate experience would be advantageous but is not essential
Willingness to undertake payroll.
This is a small component of the role.
