Cbus Property has an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded Management Accountant to join our Finance & Treasury team in a newly created role, based at our Collins Street office in Melbourne. With strong experience in reporting and valuations, this role combines property valuations, financial analysis and management reporting to support decision-making across our growing portfolio.
