AO6 Senior Asset Accountant
Full time, PAYG contract at $82.93 per hour + Super
Brisbane CBD office
December start, contract to July 2027 with possible extension

If you can reconcile a capital work in progress balance, then explain it clearly to a Treasury analyst and an auditor in the same week, this role will suit you.
A Queensland Government department is looking for a Senior Asset Accountant to join the Capital and Asset Management Team within its Enterprise Finance area. The team looks after how the department accounts for its capital program, reports on it and budgets for it. You’ll work closely with senior management, Queensland Treasury and external auditors, and report to the Manager Capital, Maintenance and Asset Accounting.

What you’ll do
  • Prepare and analyse monthly capital project reports, reconciliations, briefing notes and presentations, with insights and recommendations for management
  • Advise business groups on Capital Work in Progress, acquisitions and asset policy, drawing on Australian Accounting Standards and Queensland Treasury’s Financial Reporting Requirements and Non-Current Asset Policies
  • Make sure the annual capital budget and budget revisions are reflected accurately in the Queensland Treasury Budget Papers, Tridata and internal records
  • Contribute to the development and review of capital management policies and procedures under the Government’s financial management framework
  • Work with the wider finance team to build and maintain effective internal controls over capital processes and asset accounting
  • Build strong working relationships with senior management, Queensland Treasury and external service providers
  • Keep your knowledge of capital asset accounting regulations and practice current
What you’ll bring
  • Solid experience in asset or capital accounting, ideally within the public sector
  • A good working knowledge of Australian Accounting Standards, including AASB 116, and Queensland Treasury’s Non-Current Asset Policies
  • The ability to communicate capital and asset information clearly to senior managers, auditors and other stakeholders
  • Experience with capital budgeting, and with Tridata in particular, will help your application stand out
  • A relevant degree and membership of CPA Australia, Chartered Accountants ANZ or the Institute of Public Accountants (MIPA) are highly desirable, but they are not mandatory
Why this one is worth a look

This is a contract through to July 2027 with the possibility of extension, so you’ll have time to make your mark on the department’s capital reporting. You’ll work across the full capital cycle, from monthly reconciliations to the Treasury Budget Papers, in a Brisbane CBD office close to transport.
