Australian Gold Capital is seeking an ambitious

This is an opportunity to gain

genuine commercial accounting experience while studying , with significant potential for career progression after graduation.

For a high-performing candidate, our intention is to provide increasing accounting responsibility as their skills develop, with the opportunity to transition into a

full time accounting role following graduation

and a longer-term pathway towards positions such as

Company Accountant or Financial Controller .

Your initial responsibilities will include:

Bank and account reconciliations

Matching payments, invoices and transactions

Supporting the broader accounts team as required





As your skills and understanding of the business develop, there will be opportunities to take on

more complex accounting responsibilities .

Who We're Looking For We're looking for someone interested in

building a career in accounting , not simply filling a casual position.

Ideally, you will:

Be currently studying Accounting, or Commerce with an Accounting major

Be able to follow established procedures accurately

Hours & Flexibility The position requires availability for approximately

2–3 full working days per week .

We can provide flexibility around university timetables as to

which days are worked , however applicants must be available for

full-day shifts rather than shorter hours between classes .

This structure is designed to allow you to gain meaningful commercial accounting experience while continuing your university studies.

Career Development We believe in developing capable people from within the business.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to progressively learn more of the company's accounting and financial operations rather than remaining limited to basic administrative tasks.

For a high-performing candidate, the potential career pathway could include:

Accounts Assistant → Graduate/Assistant Accountant → Company Accountant → Financial Controller

Progression will depend on performance, capability, qualifications and the needs of the business, but we are specifically interested in finding someone with the ambition to develop into a more senior accounting position over time.
