An established and growing construction business is looking for a capable Project Accountant to join its finance team.
This is a hands-on opportunity for an Accountant with around 3-4 years' experience who enjoys variety, takes ownership of their work and wants to build on their financial and management accounting skills.
You'll work closely with the Financial Controller, gaining exposure to project profitability, financial reporting, payroll and the day-to-day financial operations of a busy construction business.
The Opportunity
This is more than a traditional month-end accounting role.
You'll have the opportunity to understand how construction projects perform financially, work with operational teams and contribute to the information that drives business decisions.
Preparing month-end journals, reconciliations and financial reports
Managing work-in-progress (WIP) calculations and project profitability reporting
Assisting with budgets, forecasts and monthly management reporting
Processing end-to-end fortnightly payroll, including STP, PAYG, superannuation and payroll tax
Maintaining fixed asset registers and depreciation schedules
Preparing BAS, IAS, FBT and other statutory compliance requirements
Supporting year-end financial statements and external audits
Working with project teams to ensure accurate financial information and reporting
What We're Looking For
You'll be a confident, detail-oriented Accountant who can manage competing priorities and enjoys working in a practical, commercially focused environment.
To be successful, you'll bring:




A degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline
Approximately 3-4 years+ accounting experience, ideally within construction or another project-based industry
Demonstrated experience managing end-to-end payroll, including STP, superannuation, PAYG and payroll tax
Sound financial accounting skills, including reconciliations and month-end reporting
Solid Excel skills and confidence working with accounting systems
Good communication skills and the ability to work with both finance and operational stakeholders
A proactive approach, strong attention to detail and a willingness to take ownership
Experience with WIP, job costing or project profitability reporting will be highly regarded.
CA/CPA qualifications, or progress towards completion, would be an advantage.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
You'll be joining a growing construction business with a strong pipeline of commercial and industrial projects and a finance team that plays an important role in supporting business performance.
What's on offer:
A permanent role with a growing and established construction business
Broad exposure to financial accounting, project reporting and commercial operations
Direct access to an experienced Financial Controller
Competitive remuneration aligned with experience
Eligibility for performance-based bonuses
Free on-site gym and parking
Team events and professional development opportunities
A collaborative working environment where your contribution matters
