The Role Summary

Orbitkey sells to customers globally, with inventory running through Cin7 and the books in Xero. We're looking for an Accountant to join our finance team.

You'd work across the whole cycle: bills and daily reconciliations, payment runs, month-end close, reporting, and the compliance that comes with selling in five markets. It's hands-on, and no two months look quite the same.

People who do well in this seat like a clean ledger, can explain why a number moved, and would rather fix a process than repeat a workaround.

You'll report to our Head of Finance, working alongside our Assistant Accountant.

Yours from day one

- Accounts payable:



supporting bill processing and answering supplier and team questions. You'll be the go-to person for "is this paid yet?"
- Daily reconciliation: Xero reconciled daily, and the Accounts inbox cleared daily.
- Accounts receivable: supporting the sales team in chasing overdue accounts.
- Support the month-end close, including adjustments, accruals and balance sheet reconciliations.
- Support preparation of reports for internal and external stakeholders and ad hoc analysis for the wider team.
- Supporting year-end financial statements, tax returns, budgeting and forecasting.
- Working with other teams to investigate results and answer "why did this move?"

Yours to solve, from the start

- Watching the systems - finding what's broken, fixing it, writing the fix down.
- Spotting ways to tighten controls, automate reconciliations and speed up month-end.
- Documenting processes

Yours in time

- Reviewing, approving and releasing payment runs.
- Support the processing of payroll, super and STP.
- Preparing indirect tax returns & other statutory compliance inhouse.
- Accounts receivable: supporting the sales team in chasing overdue accounts.
- Running the month-end close, including adjustments, accruals and balance sheet reconciliations.
- Preparing monthly P&L;, balance sheet and cash flow reports, and analysing results against budget, forecast and prior periods, with commentary on key variances and what's driving performance.
- Preparing licensing royalty reports and ad hoc analysis for the wider team.
- Supporting year-end financial statements, tax returns, budgeting and forecasting.

What we are looking for:

- 3+ years' hands-on across the full ledger - as an accountant, assistant accountant where you owned AP, AR, month-end or similar.



You know a ledger well enough to spot a wrong code at a glance.
- Confident in Xero, and at home in Airwallex or similar tools. You dig into the settings and set tools up properly rather than working around them.
- Discretion. You'll see sensitive information. Judgment about what stays confidential is non-negotiable.
- Accurate by default. You review your own work before anyone else has to. You understand the accounting behind each entry, so you get it right the first time instead of fixing it at month-end.
- A clear communicator. Whether it’s an email or a customer or explaining a variance to the team, you’re easy to understand, in writing and in person.
- You see things through. You own tasks from start to finish, bring a can-do attitude, and don’t wait to be asked.
- An Incredible teammate: You communicate with kindness and enjoy the growth that comes from giving and receiving direct and honest feedback. You acknowledge your mistakes, know when to "disagree and commit" and care more about the team being successful than you being right. You also recognise when to ask questions and help with the wider team.
- Your title doesn’t have to match ours. If you've worked as an Assistant Accountant, Tax Analyst or something close, we’d still love to hear from you.

Nice to haves:

- Multi-entity or multi-currency experience - we operate globally.
- Exposure to international indirect taxes (we'll train you if not)
