- Monitor cash flow, upcoming payments and expected receipts, flagging potential issues to management early.

- Complete month-end reconciliations and prepare financial reports for management.

- Liaise with the external accountant and provide accurate records for year-end requirements.

- Investigate discrepancies, resolve accounts queries and maintain organised financial records.

- Handle associated accounts administration and identify opportunities to improve processes.

Skills and Experience

- Proven experience independently managing the complete accounts function of a small or medium-sized business.

- Construction industry experience, including progress claims, retentions and subcontractor payment processes.

- Robust practical MYOB skills and proficiency in Excel.

- Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.

- Confidence following up overdue payments and resolving queries with customers, suppliers and staff.

- Sound judgement, clear communication and the ability to work independently.

- Experience using a CRM/Project management software would be an advantage

What We Offer

- A permanent, full-time position within an established business.
