Job Description:

  • Suits candidates with experience working in construction/project accounting
  • 12 month contract initially - opportunity for permanency and career growth
  • Inner West location, WFH flexibility
  • Join a leading education group that’s shaping the future of learning through an ambitious program of new school builds and campus modernisations across Australia.

    Reporting to the Group Financial Controller, this role partners with the property and construction teams to deliver clear, accurate financials across a portfolio of capital projects. You’ll own the numbers from end to end — reporting, forecasting, governance, and performance — and play a key role in keeping major builds on track.

    What you’ll be doing:

    • Manage full project accounting cycle – budgets, forecasts, WIP, margins, and cost-to-complete
    • Deliver monthly and quarterly reports for project and board review
    • Build and maintain rolling cashflow forecasts
    • Partner closely with project and construction leads to resolve issues and manage change
    • Drive financial governance and process improvement across the property function
    To be considered for this role:
    • CA/CPA qualified (or close) with 3–5 years’ experience in project or construction accounting
    • Exposure to large-scale property, engineering or design-build projects
    • Strong financial analysis and reporting capability with commercial acumen
    • Confidence to work across finance and operations and influence at all levels
    This is a high-visibility role with plenty of scope to make an impact — ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the projects and part of a growing, purpose-driven organisation.
