About the role:

Reporting directly to the Finance Manager, you’ll provide accounting and payroll support to various entities within the group.

This role is designed to evolve — beginning with core processing tasks, but progressing toward ownership of monthly accounting processes and reporting responsibilities.

• Run payroll and provide backup support across other group entities
  
• Assist with month-end close, reporting, and reconciliations
  
• Work with the Finance Manager on property management and development of cost tracking
  
• Support business system transitions, including MYOB cloud migration
  

What you’ll bring:

• Accounting experience with some exposure to general ledger, GST, and payroll
  
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with accounting software (experience with MYOB a plus)
  
• A team-focused attitude with good interpersonal and communication skills
  
• Willingness to learn and grow alongside the business
  
• Ideally, some level of accounting qualification, and if you are still studying we can support you with that.
