Finance Officer

A leading Financial Services provider is seeking a meticulous and professional Junior Accountant to join their high-performing team on a 6-month temporary arrangement.

Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, this role is a critical addition to support the team through the busy year-end period and assist with a key system migration project. This is an immediate start (pre or post-Easter) for the right candidate!

You will be responsible for:

• Preparing daily activities including cash collections, settlements, redraws, and discharges.
• Preparing mortgage transfers and funding requirements for securitisation trusts, including loan sale documentation.
• Supporting the full P2P process—invoice verification, processing, and resolving vendor discrepancies.
• Assisting with the preparation of annual financial statements and supporting the annual audit process for group entities.
• Working alongside the Technology team on the testing and implementation of a new core system; completing quarterly regulatory surveys.
• Managing borrower loan tasks and handling professional enquiries via phone and email.

About You

• A "hands-on" finance professional who thrives in a high-volume environment and possesses a "can-do" attitude.
• 2–5 years within an Accounting, AP, or Finance Operations role.
• Strong proficiency in Excel and modern ERP/Accounting systems; experience with complex bank reconciliations is essential.
• Experience within Financial Services, Lending, or Real Estate is highly regarded but not essential.
• Exceptional attention to detail, a "decent" and professional team-player mentality, and the ability to work under month-end pressure.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance is required. (Note: CPA/CA study is not a prerequisite for this contract).

Why Apply?

• Gain experience in trust accounting and system migrations.
• Join a supportive team and a Financial Controller who values accuracy and collaboration.
• Full-time office presence in a convenient Melbourne CBD location.
