Investment Accountant

An opportunity has arisen to join a highly regarded alternative investment manager in a role offering significantly broader exposure than a traditional accounting position.

Working within a high-performing Brisbane team, you will gain exposure across accounting, tax, treasury, transactions and investment activities, whilst partnering closely with investment professionals and senior stakeholders. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to move closer to acquisitions, deal activity and investment decision-making within a sophisticated investment environment.

The Business
Our client is a well-established alternative investment manager with investments spanning real estate, private equity and other alternative asset classes. The Brisbane office has built a strong reputation for its collaborative culture, exceptional staff tenure and high-performing environment.

The Role
Reporting to an experienced finance leader, you will take ownership of a portfolio of investment entities and work across a broad range of responsibilities including:

• Management and statutory reporting
• Preparation of financial statements
• Tax compliance and audit management
• Trust accounting and investor reporting
• Capital calls and investor distributions
• Treasury and cash management activities
• Debt facility management
• Supporting acquisitions and transaction activity
• Working with external advisors, auditors and legal stakeholders
• Process and systems improvement initiatives

About You
We are interested in speaking with candidates from backgrounds such as:

• Fund Accounting
• Investment Accounting
• Property Funds
• Asset Management
• Business Advisory
• Business Services
• Private Clients
• Tax

You will ideally possess:

• CA or CPA qualification
• Strong technical accounting capability
• Experience working with trusts and complex structures
• Exposure to tax and financial reporting
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• A genuine interest in investments, transactions and commercial outcomes

Why Consider This Opportunity? This role offers the chance to join a high-quality investment platform where finance is closely involved in understanding and supporting investment activity, rather than simply reporting on outcomes after the fact.

You'll be part of a stable, high-performing team with genuine exposure to transactions, investment structures and broader commercial decision-making, along with strong long-term career development opportunities.
