- Assisting with management reporting, budgeting, cash-flow reporting, and financial analysis, including rebuilding or organising financial information where required
- Taking the lead on finance projects and identifying practical ways to improve systems, reports, and controls




- Maintaining clean digital records and supporting external accountants at EOFY

About you

- A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Commerce, or a related discipline, completed or nearing completion
- Progress toward CA or CPA qualification is desirable, although full qualification is not essential
- Experience in an Australian business, ideally combining senior bookkeeping and assistant accounting responsibilities, would be beneficial but is not a prerequisite
- A sound understanding of accounting principles, month-end processes, balance sheet reconciliations, and GST obligations
- Strong, hands-on experience with Xero or similar cloud accounting software, together with confident Excel skills
- A proactive, independent approach - you can think through a problem, take initiative, and run with a task through to completion
- Transparent spoken and written English, strong communication skills, and full unrestricted working rights in Australia
