About Melrose Built
We’re a values-led commercial builder creating exceptional spaces and even better futures. Our values are Care, Dependable, and Excellence, and we’re looking for a Finance Administrator who lives them every day.

The opportunity
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you’ll keep our finance engine accurate, compliant, and audit-ready. You’ll own day-to-day finance administration and help deliver clean month-end packs that support reliable reporting and decision-making.

What you’ll do

  • Update cashflow with actuals and planned movements, receipt and allocate client payments, and support timesheet queries.
  • Code card transactions and maintain supporting evidence and orderly digital files.
  • Prepare debtor setups and invoices, send statements and reminders, and follow up unallocated receipts.
  • Control payroll timesheet cut-off and resolve exceptions each pay cycle.
  • Complete monthly bank, trust, credit and fleet card reconciliations, month-end journals, and GL reconciliations.
  • Maintain the fixed asset register and intercompany reconciliations, and refresh the cashflow forecast with commentary.
  • Assist with ABS surveys, external reporting, audits, and continuous improvement of templates and checklists.
  • Support Jobpac user maintenance and basic ERP tasks.

What you’ll bring

  • Certificate IV or Diploma in Accounting or Bookkeeping, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong reconciliation skills across bank, trust, GL, intercompany, and card accounts, and confident Excel capability.
  • Disciplined document management suited to audit readiness and discreet handling of payroll and banking information.
  • Bonus points for experience with Jobpac or a similar construction ERP, ABS portals, and bank portals.
  • Nice to have: familiarity with Queensland Project Trust Accounts and Retention Trust Accounts, BIF Act, QBCC, and Security of Payment.

How you work

  • Highly organised, detail-focused, proactive, and solutions-oriented.
  • Clear communicator who can manage competing priorities and uphold privacy, probity, and segregation of duties.

Why join us

  • Make a tangible impact in a growing builder where your accuracy keeps projects moving.
  • Work with a supportive Finance Manager and a close-knit team that values continuous improvement.
  • A values-driven culture that rewards Care, Dependable delivery, and Excellence.
