· Experience with DEXT and solid Excel skills
· Confident written and verbal communicator with clients and external stakeholders and colleagues.
· Professional, reliable, and proactive - you follow through and meet deadlines
· Patient and capable mentor for junior staff
· Comfortable working to time budgets and managing shifting priorities
If this sounds like something you'd love to dive right into, we'd love to meet you! This role is not open to overseas applicants or those seeking a fully remote role. A minimum of certificate IV in Bookkeeping & Accounting or higher is required, or a Registered BAS Agent certification.
