Nectar is a Brisbane-based conference and event management business delivering conferences, events and awards programs for clients across Australia. We're looking for an experienced and appropriately qualified bookkeeper / finance administrator to join our team and take ownership of our day-to-day finance function.
This role will replace the current bookkeeping function, so strong bookkeeping capability is essential. You'll be responsible for keeping Nectar's business accounts accurate and up to date, including payroll, accounts payable and receivable, reconciliations and routine financial administration.
This role differs from a traditional bookkeeping position through the opportunity to work closely with the project team on the financial management of client events. Event Managers are responsible for delivering their projects within approved budgets. Your role will be to ensure the financial information they are working from is accurate, reconciled and reliable — preparing monthly project financial reports, reconciling event bank accounts and payment gateways, providing GST and bookkeeping guidance, and helping investigate discrepancies.

Sound knowledge of GST, BAS, payroll and superannuation
Experience preparing bank reconciliations, financial reconciliations and reports
Confidence investigating and resolving financial discrepancies
Robust Excel and/or Google Sheets skills
