About Molonglo

Molonglo is a creative property group with projects across Canberra, Melbourne, and Athens. Their work spans property development, hospitality, research, and publishing.

Led by a strong values-driven culture, with a focus on design, sustainability, and community impact, Molonglo is known for delivering thoughtful projects built to endure and inspire for generations to come.

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to join a creative, values-led organisation in a broad and hands-on finance role. As part of a small and collaborative team, you’ll play a key role in the day-to-day finance function while gaining exposure to a diverse group of entities across property, hospitality, and development projects.

Molonglo offers flexibility to support your lifestyle, including the option to work full-time, part-time, or within school hours. You'll be encouraged to grow and develop your career and contribute to a business that values care, sustainability, and long-term impact.

The Role

Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will support the day-to-day financial operations of the corporate team. The corporate team is responsible for Molonglo’s finance, legal, and investment functions.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing end-to-end accounts payable across multiple entities
  • Performing daily bank reconciliations and supporting accounts receivable
  • Monitoring invoice approvals and ensuring timely payments
  • Preparing and uploading weekly payment runs
  • Assisting with BAS, month-end and year-end reconciliations and workpapers

The Ideal Person

This opportunity is open to a range of backgrounds, including current accounting students and recent graduates with a strong academic record, early-career accountants with 1–2 years of experience, as well as those with 3–5 years in a similar finance role.

Importantly, you’re a passionate accounting professional who thrives in a close-knit, hardworking finance team. Known to be highly organised and detail-focused, you have a calm, dependable nature and have a strong ability to deliver accurate outcomes, even when things get busy.

You’re also eager to learn and grow under the guidance of an experienced and committed Finance Manager, making the most of the support around you to develop your skills and career in a meaningful way.

Previous experience in a similar role, and experience using Google Suite and Xero, will be highly regarded.
