Byron Beef Jerky / Living Better Foods
Bangalow, Byron Hinterland NSW
Full-time or 4 days per week | Onsite role
$48–$55 per hour plus super, depending on experience

Byron Beef Jerky is looking for an experienced Senior Bookkeeper / Accounts Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day finance function in our growing food manufacturing business.

We are a family-owned Australian business based in Bangalow, supplying national retailers, independent stores, wholesale customers and online customers across Australia. We are practical, fast-moving and hands‑on, and we need someone who enjoys getting across the detail, keeping the numbers clean and helping the owners understand exactly where the business is sitting.

This is a key role in the business. You will still be hands‑on with the daily bookkeeping, reconciliations, accounts payable, payroll and reporting, but we are looking for someone with the experience and confidence to bring structure, accuracy and commercial insight to the finance function.

Just as importantly, we are looking for someone who is professional, respectful and easy to work with. This role works closely with the Directors and the wider team, so we need someone who communicates clearly, handles pressure calmly and contributes positively to the workplace.

About the role

You will be responsible for the core finance and bookkeeping functions of the business, including:

- Daily Xero bank reconciliations
- Accounts payable and supplier payments
- Accounts receivable and debtor follow‑up
- Payroll processing and payroll checks
- BAS, IAS and compliance support
- Month‑end reconciliations and reporting
- Cash flow tracking and weekly business position reporting
- Monitoring customer claims, deductions and account issues
- Maintaining accurate supplier, customer and payroll records
- Preparing practical financial reports for the Directors
- Supporting the owners with cash flow,



margin and business performance information
- Working with our external accountant as required
- Preparing, maintaining and improving management spreadsheets, including reporting tools, reconciliations, cash flow tracking and business performance summaries.
- Solid Excel skills are essential.

This is not a background data‑entry role. We are looking for someone who can take responsibility for the numbers, notice when something does not look right, ask good questions and help bring clarity to the financial side of the business.

About you

You will be experienced, steady and commercially minded. You will be comfortable working in a hands‑on small to medium business setting where common sense, accuracy and follow‑through matter.

You do not need layers of management around you to get things done. You are confident taking ownership of your area, keeping things organised and providing clear information to the business owners.

You will also be someone who is well‑mannered, respectful and good to work with. We value people who are professional, approachable and able to have a laugh while still getting the job done properly.

You will ideally have:

- Strong bookkeeping, accounting or accounts management experience
- Excellent Xero knowledge
- Good understanding of BAS, GST and standard bookkeeping compliance
- Robust reconciliation and attention‑to‑detail skills
- Confidence working with spreadsheets and financial reports
- The ability to follow through and keep things organised
- A calm,



steady approach under pressure
- Clear and respectful communication skills
- A positive attitude and willingness to work as part of a team
- The confidence to raise issues early and clearly
- Experience in manufacturing, wholesale, FMCG or food production would be highly regarded

We are looking for someone reliable, discreet and capable. The right person will be trusted with important business information and will work closely with the owners.

Full‑time or 4 days per week

Onsite role based in Bangalow

Weekly pay

Long‑term role for the right person

We are ideally looking for someone full‑time, however we are open to discussing a 4‑day week for the right experienced person. What matters most is that the finance function is properly owned, organised and reliable.

Byron Beef Jerky is a real Australian manufacturing business with a great story, a strong brand and a lot of opportunity ahead. We started small, and we are proud to now supply customers across Australia while still making our products here in Bangalow.

This is a role where your work will matter. You will be close to the owners, close to the numbers and close to the decisions that shape the business. You will not be hidden away in a back office — you will be part of a practical, hardworking team that values good people, clear communication and getting things done properly.

We are serious about the business, but we also want the workplace to feel positive, respectful and enjoyable. We value people who bring steady energy, good manners, common sense and a willingness to be part of the team.

If you are experienced, capable and enjoy working in a growing business where you can make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.
