Step into a Role That Grows with You 
Are you looking for an accounting role that offers challenge, variety, and the opportunity to grow into a more senior finance position over time? Our client is a dynamic and evolving group of companies, where you will get exposure to the accounting and reporting across multiple business units and subsidiaries.

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.

You'll gain exposure across multiple areas including payroll, month-end processes, GST returns, business system migration, and project accounting for some property developments

Key responsibilities:

  • Process daily bank transactions and support cash flow forecasting
  • Manage accounts payable and assist in preparing GST returns
  • 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

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a close-knit, supportive team where your work matters
  • Gain hands-on experience across multiple industries
  • Work in a flexible and growth-oriented environment
  • Build a pathway toward broader financial responsibility and career progression
