Job Description

A privately owned property investment group is looking to appoint a Property Accountant to its Brisbane based finance team.

n

The organisation owns and actively manages a substantial property portfolio across the eastern seaboard, with a particular focus on retail assets. With property management capability sitting internally, finance works closely with the broader property team across leasing, asset performance, tenant matters and financial reporting.

n

This is a close-knit workplace where you'll have visibility across the portfolio and work directly with experienced property and finance professionals.

The Role n

Reporting to the Property Finance Manager, you'll take ownership of the accounting and financial reporting for a portfolio of retail properties.

n

This is a true property accounting position, with exposure across the full lifecycle of the assets - from monthly reporting and lease accounting through to budgets, tenant outgoings, forecasting and property performance.

n

You’ll also work closely with a Senior Property Accountant, with the team looking to continue improving its systems and processes.

n

Key responsibilities include:

n

n
- Preparing monthly, quarterly and year-end reporting across your property portfolio
n
- Managing month-end, including accruals, reconciliations and management accounts
n
- Reviewing rent rolls and ensuring accurate tenant billings
n
- Maintaining lease and tenancy information within the property management system
n
- Working closely with Property and Leasing Managers on tenant and property matters
n
- Preparing annual property budgets across income, expenditure and capital
n
- Completing periodic forecasts and providing variance commentary

- Preparing annual tenant outgoing estimates and completing year-end outgoings reconciliations
n




- Reviewing tenant recoveries and ensuring costs are appropriately allocated
n
- Supporting debtor reviews, tenant reconciliations and property-related queries
n
- Assisting with audit, tax and compliance requirements
n
- Providing analysis and commentary around property performance
n
- Contributing to improvements across systems, reporting and finance processes
n

n

The formal PD also includes exposure to acquisition/disposal due diligence, valuations and Board reporting as required.

About You n

You'll already have experience within property accounting and, importantly, understand the nuances of a retail property portfolio.

n

Retail experience is particularly important given the complexity around leases, tenant recoveries, outgoings and differing legislative requirements across jurisdictions.

n

You’ll ideally bring:

n

n
- 2-3+ years' relevant property accounting experience
n
- Previous exposure to retail property accounting
n
- Strong month-end and property financial reporting experience
n
- Experience preparing property budgets, forecasts and variance analysis
n
- Confidence interpreting leases and understanding their accounting implications
n
- Experience with tenant outgoings and recoveries
n
- Excellent attention to detail and an ability to manage multiple deadlines
n
- Strong communication skills and confidence working with Property Managers and other stakeholders
n
- A proactive approach to improving processes and ways of working
n

n

Experience using systems/software attributed to property, leasing and tenancy information would be highly regarded.

On Offer n

n
- Work closely with an experienced Senior Property Accountant
n
- Exposure to a significant retail property portfolio
n
- Opportunity to contribute to systems and process improvements
