Public Sector People is partnering with a QLD State Government Department to source an experienced Asset Accountant for an initial 6-month contract, based in Brisbane CBD. $79 per hour + super.

This is a technical capital and asset accounting role sitting within a Corporate, Strategic Enterprise and Investment Finance function. You'll take ownership of capital project reporting and asset accounting compliance, working closely with senior stakeholders and Queensland Treasury.

What you'll be doing:
  • Preparing and analysing monthly capital project reports, reconciliations, and briefing notes on complex asset and capital management issues
  • Providing expert advice on asset policies for Capital Work-in-Progress and associated acquisitions, applying Australian Accounting Standards and Queensland Treasury Financial Reporting Requirements
  • Ensuring the annual capital budget and revisions are accurately reflected in Treasury Budget Papers and internal systems
  • Maintaining and strengthening internal controls over capital processes and asset accounting
  • Building strong working relationships with Business Groups, Queensland Treasury, and external service providers
  • Communicating capital and asset-related financial information clearly to senior management and auditors
What you'll bring:
  • Strong technical knowledge of Non-Current Asset Policies, capital accounting, and asset management within a large or complex organisation
  • CPA, CA, or MIPA (or working towards) highly regarded given the technical nature of this role
  • Experience with government financial reporting frameworks highly desirable, though strong private sector capital/asset accountants with Treasury-adjacent exposure are encouraged to apply
  • Excellent stakeholder communication skills, with the ability to translate technical asset/capital issues for non-technical audiences
  • A proactive, detail-oriented approach and confidence working autonomously in a technical individual contributor capacity
This is a great opportunity for an asset or capital accounting specialist to bring their expertise into a high-impact corporate finance function, with genuine potential for extension.
