supporting debt covenant, financing,



lender and co-investment reporting requirements

working with property managers, FP&A;, custodians, banks and other stakeholders

identifying opportunities to improve month-end processes, reporting, documentation and internal controls, with a focus on automation and simplification.

About you

You're an experienced financial accountant who combines strong technical capability with curiosity and a genuine interest in improving processes.

You’ll bring

CA or CPA qualification

a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Commerce, Finance or a related discipline

at least three years' experience across financial accounting, month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations and management reporting

a strong understanding of general ledger processes, accrual accounting and financial controls

experience preparing audit workpapers and supporting external audits

strong Excel and financial systems capability

excellent attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy and deadlines

the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced finance environment

a proactive and improvement-focused approach, including the confidence to constructively challenge existing processes

Experience within a listed company, property, funds management or A-REIT environment would be highly regarded.
