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.
