Assistant Accountant

Northern Beaches | $83,000 + Super | 1 Day WFH After Probation

Are you an Accounts Payable or Accounts Officer with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting who is ready to take the next step in your accounting career?

This is an exciting prospect to join a highly dynamic, energetic and genuinely people-focused finance team within an established Australian business that forms part of a successful multinational group.

The Australian operation generates approximately $60 million in annual revenue and is part of an international organisation with a strong reputation in its specialist industry. The business has a strong focus on quality, innovation and technology, with products distributed across the Australian market through a broad customer and retail network.

The company continues to grow, creating an opportunity for an up-and-coming accountant to join the finance team and develop their career within the business.

The role would suit someone who has built a strong foundation in Accounts Payable / Accounts Officer responsibilities and is now ready to step into a broader Assistant Accountant position.

While AP will remain an important part of the role, you will gain genuine exposure to month-end / EOM close, journals, fixed assets, budgeting, reconciliations, intercompany and broader accounting functions.

You will also report into a great and highly supportive Finance Operations Team Leader, who is invested in developing their team and helping people progress in their careers.

About the role

Reporting to the Finance Operations Team Leader, you will join a close-knit finance team of four and progressively developing your broader accounting responsibilities.

This is not simply an AP processing role. It is an opportunity for an up-and-coming accountant superstar to broaden their experience.

Your responsibilities:

- Managing Accounts Payable for domestic and overseas suppliers
- Processing invoices, data entry and approval workflows
- Coordinating weekly supplier payment runs
- Processing operating expenses and rent payments
- Managing employee expenses and corporate credit card transactions
- Managing intercompany transactions, including overseas payments
- Performing regular bank and intercompany reconciliations




- Supporting the month-end / EOM close, including journals and reconciliations
- Assisting with fixed asset accounting and maintaining accurate records
- Supporting the annual fixed asset audit
- Assisting with OPEX monitoring and budget preparation / budget rounds
- Providing support across Accounts Receivable and other general accounting functions
- Maintaining accurate financial records and supporting accounting compliance
- Assisting with internal and external audit requirements
- Providing general finance and office administration support when required

What we're looking for

This role would suit an Accounts Officer or Accounts Payable professional who has a relevant accounting degree and is ready to take the next step.

You will ideally have:

- A Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related discipline
- 2+ years' experience in Accounts Payable, Accounts Officer or a similar accounting role
- A strong understanding of accounting principles
- A genuine interest in progressing into an Assistant Accountant position
- Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills
- Good Excel skills
- The ability to take ownership of your work
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- A positive, energetic and proactive personality
- A genuine team-player mentality
- A willingness to learn and take on broader accounting responsibilities

We're looking for someone who is smart, ambitious, hardworking and eager to develop.

You don't need to know everything from day one. What matters is that you have a strong AP / Accounts Officer foundation, a relevant accounting degree and the right mindset to develop into a broader accounting position.

The culture & leadership

Culture is a huge part of this opportunity.

You will be joining a very dynamic, energetic and social team where people genuinely enjoy working together.





The business places a strong emphasis on career development, internal progression and giving people opportunities to grow. This is particularly exciting for someone at the early stages of their accounting career who wants to build their skills and take on more responsibility over time.

The office environment is fun, lively and collaborative, with regular team events and plenty of opportunities to get involved.

That said, this is still a high-performing finance team. They're looking for someone who is switched-on, hardworking and takes pride in their work; someone who can enjoy the social side of the office while also being accountable and delivering accurate, high-quality work.

What's on offer?

- Opportunity to a salary increase after successful completion of probation
- Onsite parking
- 1-day WFH after probation
- CPA/CA study support
- Genuine career development and progression opportunities
- Excellent manager who is invested in your development
- Regular team events and a fun office environment
- Highly collaborative and dynamic finance team
- Opportunity to work within an established multinational group

Your next step:

If you're ambitious, enjoy working with people, want a great manager and are looking for a business where growth and progression are genuinely encouraged, we'd love to hear from you.
