We're looking for an Undergraduate Management Accountant to join our Finance team in Brisbane. This role is ideal for an accounting student keen to build hands-on experience in management accounting and learn how to tell the story behind the numbers, while being part of a social, supportive team.

You'll also support budgeting and forecasting, and contribute to ad hoc analysis for stakeholders ranging from business managers through to the Board, all within a collaborative environment that's invested in helping early-career talent grow.

What's on offer?

• Paid 12-week period with the potential for ongoing work.
• Flexible 2-3 days per week or up to 5 days during summer.
• Flexible November start date.
• Scheduling that works around university commitments and exam periods.
• Brisbane CBD location.

• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.
• Support management reporting and performance tracking.
• Help identify and analyse business trends and profitability drivers.
• Build visualisations that help tell the story behind the numbers
• Build practical Excel and financial modelling skills.
• Work alongside experienced professionals who are invested in your development.

• Expected to graduate in 2026 or 2027.
• Sound Excel capability.
• Good attention to detail and time management.

Nice to have:

Why students choose QIC

At QIC, you'll do more than observe. You'll contribute to real work, collaborate with experienced professionals, and gain insight into how finance supports a sophisticated investment business.
