About the Role
WorkSec is growing fast, and we're bringing our finance function in‐house. If you're an experienced accounts professional who loves clean reconciliations, takes ownership and enjoys helping customers when they need clarity, this is a chance to step into a trusted, high‐impact role in a supportive team.
This role is especially well‐suited to someone with an accounting/bookkeeping background who wants flexibility (including those re‐entering the workforce) without compromising on meaningful work or responsibility.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a capable Finance Officer to take ownership of our day‐to‐day finance operations and our customer‐facing accounts processes.
You'll report directly to the Managing Director, and you'll be the internal go‐to person who keeps the engine running: reconciliations, invoicing, payroll, reporting rhythms, and customer account support – done properly, on time, with confidence.
This is a work‐from‐home role, based in Adelaide, with flexibility in how you structure your hours.
What You'll Be Responsible For
* End‐to‐end accounts operations in Xero (reconciliations, AR, AP)
* Customer invoicing, adjustments, refunds, and account support
* Overdue accounts follow‐up and payment plan coordination
* Payroll in Xero (including leave/overtime/expenses follow‐ups)
* Monthly reporting and basic finance rhythms (Xero + reporting tools)
* Supporting BAS preparation with clean records and supporting documentation
* Improving and documenting processes so everything scales as we grow
What We're Looking For
* Strong experience using Xero across Accounts Payable/Receivable, reconciliation, and Payroll
* 3–5+ years' experience in an accounts/admin finance role (or similar)
* Strong working knowledge of accounting principles and accurate record‐keeping
* Excellent attention to detail
* Confident communication (you'll support customers and internal stakeholders)
* A proactive, organised style – able to prioritise and meet deadlines
* Relevant tertiary qualification in Accounting or Finance
* BAS/GST exposure (preparing information, reconciliations, workpapers)
* Experience with Fathom, Zoho Books / Zoho One, and Stripe (preferred)
Why This Role is Different
WorkSec is high‐touch, high‐automation. You won't be "just processing invoices" in the background. You'll be trusted to run the function, improve the way we work, and become a core part of a team that is building something meaningful – while still having the flexibility to make work fit around life.
What You'll Get at WorkSec
* 13% superannuation (instead of mandatory 12% super guarantee)
* Monthly rostered day off
* Work from home + flexible hours
* Security Clearance sponsorship
