Life at QMS Media? It’s Anything but Ordinary!

At QMS Media, we bring creativity and innovation to the world of outdoor advertising, delivering impactful solutions with digital billboards, street furniture, and beyond. Our team is passionate, authentic, and a little contagious (in a good way!). We are always pushing boundaries, celebrating wins, and evolving together.

Proud to be a WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality since 2017 and with our Reconciliation Action Plan endorsed by Reconciliation Australia, we at QMS Media are committed to an inclusive workplace where everyone thrives, and where the rights, culture, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are celebrated and respected.  

What You’ll Do:

• Own the month-end wrap for your entities—think reconciliations, BAS, and management reports (P&L, Balance Sheet, the lot!).

• Get hands-on with budgeting, forecasting, and helping steer the year-end audit process.

• Bring your analytical edge to financial reporting and monthly cashflow forecasting.

• Champion internal controls—maintain compliance, and help shape policies that keep everything running smoothly.

What We’re Looking For:

• You know your stuff - A degree in Business with a major in Finance or Accounting—CPA/CA is a bonus, but not a dealbreaker.

• Solid grasp of core accounting principles, with a knack for spreadsheets and data analysis

• You’re a great communicator, open to feedback, and love working with different perspectives.

• Flexibility is key! You can adapt to changing priorities and deadlines like a pro.

• Whether flying solo or collaborating with the team, you get the job done.

• You’re proactive, curious, and ready to hit the ground running with passion and ownership!

What’s in it for You?

• A fun, friendly and supportive work environment where no two days are the same.

• Awesome learning opportunities - ongoing learning and development to help you springboard into the future you want both personally and professionally.

• A workplace that values YOU, your growth, and your ideas. We’re big on being inquisitive and ‘out of the ordinary’.

• We get that life isn’t just about work—enjoy flexible options that fit around your world.

• Career development, and the chance to work with a team that’s as excited and passionate as you are!

• A fabulous workspace – both in location and vibes! We’re located in South Melbourne, so you’re never too far from delicious food, drinks, and the beach. On the days you don’t want to leave the office (hello, Melbourne weather) we have you covered with goodies and daily lunchtime quizzes.
