Qualifications and experience matter, we are equally focused on finding the right person; someone with the mindset, judgement and attributes that make a genuinely great accounting professional. If you tick the boxes below, we want to talk to you:
* Strong technical foundation. You understand reconciliations, controls and reporting logic, and can connect the numbers to the bigger picture
* Commercial awareness. You want to understand the business, not just process transactions
* Problem solver. You enjoy working through incomplete data, unclear costs and reconciliation issues logically
* Attention to detail. You notice inconsistencies, missing information and errors before they become bigger problems
* Accountable. You investigate issues, own mistakes and focus on fixing root causes rather than avoiding them
* Curious. You naturally ask \"why?\" and look beyond the surface of the numbers
* Able to manage competing priorities. You can juggle multiple deadlines, stay organised and work confidently in a fast-paced environment
* Reliable and structured. You work in a disciplined, organised consistent way. You value processes and your team trusts you to deliver
The Role
* Support month-end reporting processes including accruals, prepayments and bank reconciliations
* Manage end-to-end payroll including PAYG, superannuation and payroll tax compliance
* Assist the Financial Accountant with BAS, FBT and broader statutory compliance requirements in Australia, the UK and Canada
* Manage vendor payments, credit card reconciliations and employee reimbursements
Further Opportunity
* Exposure to FX and the challenges associated with operating three entities in Australia, the UK and Canada
* Opportunities to broaden your skills into project controls and project tracking, including exposure to project delivery, contracts, invoicing and management reporting
* Data analysis training and skill development using Power BI
The Background we are Looking For
* Accounting or Business-related qualifications
* 3+ years' experience in accounting, payroll or bookkeeping combined with strong Excel skills
* Experience with ERP systems (e.g. Business Central) would be highly regarded
The Benefits and Flexibility
* Flexible working arrangements - while we ideally seek a full-time person, we are open to 4-day weeks or hours structured around school commitments for the right candidate
* Bonus structure aligned to individual performance
