• Collaborate with the Fixed Assets team to ensure work-in-progress balances are reconciled monthly and transferred to the Fixed Assets Register for timely depreciation  
• Partner with project delivery teams to establish and maintain compliance with financial policies, procedures, and governance requirements  
• Act as a key liaison between Finance and the business for project accounting matters, including capital expenditure forecasts for insurance premiums, Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reporting, and internal and external audit requirements  
• Undertake other ad hoc duties as assigned by the manager

• Ability to manage high-volume data with precision to create clarity and efficiency. 
• Highly developed interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and articulate financial outcomes clearly to non-finance audiences. 
• A proactive approach to problem-solving, with a focus on continuous process improvement and the adoption of emerging financial technologies.
