Accounting Officer

1 week ago


St Kilda Road, Australia Monash University Full time

The Opportunity
The
Accounting Officer provides high-quality, operational research finance business partnering support for the team and clients.

This includes performing a range of financial transactions, inputting financial forecasts, interpreting research contracts, preparation of financial reports, data maintenance and analysis and sustaining effective working relationships with stakeholders.


This is an exciting opportunity for an individual who enjoys working in an agile, fast-paced environment and able to triage a high volume of queries.

The daily life of an Accounting Officer will look very different as you will be supporting different reporting deadlines, have ad-hoc financial tasks and ensure grant guidelines are adhered to through periodic compliance checks.

This is a great entry role to learn more about the Higher Education sector and how research funding operates.


In performing these tasks, the Accounting Officer plays an important role in enabling the team to deliver its range of specialist services to clients.

This includes having analytical skills, using your initiative and completing your own research to find solutions.

This role will have a degree of autonomy and need to have previous experience interpreting data and translating this to non-financial stakeholders.

We are seeking someone that is proactive in their work, can be dynamic and open to an evolving workplace.


Experience using SAP or a similar financial system and a working knowledge of GST as applied to a research and revenue accounting function are desirable.


Why work with us?
The Monash University Precinct is the largest employment hub outside the Melbourne CBD and we offer:

  • A wide range of guest speakers and events throughout the year
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development
  • Flexible work arrangements and hybrid working model
  • A collaborative and inclusive work environment that values diversity and innovation
  • Access to worldclass facilities and resources including our extensive library database
  • Oncampus services, such as gyms, medical clinics, supermarkets, Postal services and restaurants


As a global top 50 University, working at Monash provides the opportunity to contribute to making a real impact to the wider community.

If this sounds like a position that suits your current career focus, we look forward to hearing from you.

Join the pursuit of our purpose to build a better future for ourselves and our communities - #ChangeIt
with us.
Monash avidly supports flexible and hybrid working arrangements. We have a range of policies in place enabling staff to combine work and personal commitments. This includes supporting parents.


Your employment is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of all pre-employment and/or background checks required for the role, as determined by the University.
