Key Responsibilities

• General and operational accruals.

• Manage and report on significant Queensland Government funding agreements, including tracking expenditure against objectives and ensuring accurate recognition of income.
• Partner with management, committees and senior stakeholders to review expenditure, funding requirements and financial performance.
• Manage financial reporting for multi-period contracts, including deliverables, acquittals and funding received in advance.
• Review training activity and maintain schedules for deferred income recognition.
• Prepare and post month-end journals, including:
• Complete balance sheet reconciliations, predominantly relating to income in advance, using FloQast.
• Maintain supporting spreadsheets, ledgers and financial schedules.
• Provide oversight and support across AR invoicing, debtor reporting and clearing accounts where required.
• Review financial information relating to significant operational contracts and ensure accuracy of reporting.

• Cash flow spreadsheet management.
• Power BI management reporting.
• Review and support of AR and bank reconciliation processes.
• ABS reporting.
