Senior Fund Accountant – Property
Sydney CBD | Up to $150k package (inc. Super) + up to 20% bonus | 4:1 Hybrid

I’m delighted to be exclusively partnering with a leading Australian alternative investment manager on a key hire within their Property Funds team.

With c.$20bn AUM and a property platform representing over 50% of group assets, this is a high-profile appointment within a business forecasting 15%+ divisional growth into 2026, underpinned by a substantial existing development pipeline.

This is not an entry-level funds role — it is suited only to established fund accountants / property accountants with deep, hands-on property fund experience.

The Role
Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, with a dotted line to the Divisional CFO, this position sits at the core of fund reporting and corporate finance across listed and unlisted property vehicles.

No direct reports - this is a technically focused, high-ownership role.

Key responsibilities include:

• Full month-end fund reporting & trial balance finalisation
• Review of underlying property financials
• Corporate journals (management fees, treasury, fair value, distributions)
• Preparation of management accounts and investor reporting
• Annual financial statements and audit management
• Board and audit committee reporting
• Covenant calculations & lender compliance
• Cashflow forecasting and treasury management
• Budgeting and reforecasting in partnership with asset management
• BAS and tax support

There is genuine exposure to acquisitions, divestments and new fund establishment as the platform continues to expand.

The Candidate
This role is only suitable for candidates with:

• CA/CPA qualification (or substantial experience within the property/fund management space)
• Proven property fund accounting experience (listed or unlisted)
• Strong knowledge of Australian financial reporting standards within property structures
• Experience engaging with auditors, investors and lenders
• Confidence operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

Chartered movers without substantive property exposure will not be suitable.

What's in it for you?

• Joining an established and growing brand (c.$20bn institutional platform), with property representing majority of AUM
• Forecast 15%+ growth in 2026, with significant active development pipeline
• Package up to $150,000 (including Super)
• Up to 20% bonus
• Hybrid working (4 days on site)
• Flexibility around working hours
• Sydney CBD location
• High visibility to senior leadership

A strong opportunity for an established Property Fund Accountant seeking a broader, higher-growth institutional platform with clear runway ahead.
