At Bentleys Queensland, we believe in doing things differently. Our four core values—Insightful, Authentic, Dynamic, and Connected—define everything we do. You'll be empowered to make meaningful contributions, work with integrity, adapt to new challenges, and build lasting relationships.
You deserve to work in an environment that values your skills, supports your growth, and gives you the space to thrive. At Bentleys, you'll be part of a team that genuinely cares about your success.
About the Role
As a Junior Bookkeeper in our Emerald Business Services team, you'll play an important part in keeping things running smoothly for both our clients and our internal team. You'll be hands on with day‑to‑day financial transactions - bank and credit card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, month‑end tidy‑ups, and preparing payments for authorisation. You'll support payroll processes too, from onboarding new employees through to processing pay runs, superannuation, leave entitlements, and end‑of‑year finalisations.
You'll also help with compliance and reporting by preparing BAS/IAS, reconciling GST and PAYG, assisting with payroll tax and WorkCover lodgements, and reviewing client files to ensure they're ready for year‑end compliance or audit. As your confidence grows, you'll help transition clients to new accounting software, deliver basic training, and support cash flow and management reporting.
You'll spend time collaborating with clients, answering questions, liaising with the ATO, and helping the team stay on top of deadlines. There will be plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, and get involved in the practical day‑to‑day support that keeps both the team and our clients feeling looked after.
We appreciate the balance between work and home life and are very flexible on how you work - perhaps you are needing to work school hours, or maybe a 4-day working week would suit you better? We are very open for the right candidate!
About You
You're someone who brings care, curiosity, and a thoughtful approach to your work. Maybe you've already gained a little bookkeeping experience - perhaps in payroll, reconciliations, or BAS preparation, or you're building on relevant studies in Accounting, Bookkeeping, or Finance. You're familiar with tools like Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, or Employment Hero, and you enjoy learning new systems.
You communicate openly, ask great questions, and enjoy being part of a supportive team. You're client‑focused and naturally proactive, you like helping others, staying organised, and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. You take pride in working ethically and with integrity, and you're happy to roll up your sleeves to get things done when the team needs you.
Most importantly, you bring a warm, collaborative spirit to your work and you're ready to learn, develop, and make a meaningful contribution to both your team and your clients.
