The Company

This is a well-established, privately held investment office based in Sydney CBD, managing a substantial and diversified portfolio across direct real estate and a range of financial assets. The finance function is being strengthened and professionalised under new leadership, and this role is at the centre of that effort.

The team is close-knit with a culture built on longevity and minimal red tape. The person who takes this role will work directly alongside the Financial Controller from day one, with real input into how the function is shaped going forward.

Key highlights include:

• Full ownership of investment accounting across a diversified multi-asset class portfolio
• Daily Performance Report production and mark-to-market reporting across the investment portfolio
• High visibility to senior leadership in a lean, high-stakes, non-corporate environment

The Role

• Month-end close for investment entities: journals, accruals, prepayments, and balance sheet reconciliations

• Investment accounting: acquisitions, disposals, fair value movements, distributions, and capital transactions
• Consolidation across multiple investment entities and holding structures
• Debt facility reporting, covenant compliance, and treasury-related reporting
• Preparation of statutory financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
• Tax compliance, including BAS, PAYG, and income tax
• Board reporting pack preparation and support
• Contributing to finance system and process improvement initiatives

You are a CA or CPA qualified accountant with investment or fund accounting experience who is ready to take ownership from day one.

• Background in investment management, property funds, private equity, infrastructure, or real assets preferred
• Experience across complex group structures and multi-entity environments
