Assistant Accountant

About the Business

Pallas Group operates two ambitious, purpose-led brands focused on excellence in funds management and property. Pallas Capital is a debt and equity fund manager that finances commercial real estate across Australia and New Zealand, created in response to a shortage of credit in the mid-market property sector. Fortis is the group’s property development management business, with more than $750 million in completed residential and commercial projects and another $560 million scheduled for completion by year-end.

Due to ongoing expansion, Pallas Group is looking for an Assistant Accountant to join its Sydney head office in Double Bay. The position supports Fortis and provides exposure to a wide variety of accounting and finance work within a fast-moving property development environment. This role requires five days per week in the office.

• Enter approved expenses accurately into the accounting system, separating claim types and identifying GST where relevant.
