About the role

Hoyne is an independent, award-winning place and property branding agency with studios in Sydney and Melbourne. We work with leading developers, businesses and government organisations to create meaningful brands and places.

We're looking for an experienced, highly organised Bookkeeper to take ownership of the day-to-day finance function and support accurate, timely reporting. You'll work closely with our management team and external accountants to keep our accounts accurate, current and running smoothly. This role suits someone who enjoys owning the detail and working independently. The role is 20 hours per week, with flexibility on days and hours, working from our Sydney CBD studio.

Key responsibilities

- Managing end-to-end payroll, including PAYG withholding, superannuation, payroll tax and workers' compensation reporting across NSW and other states

- Preparing and lodging BAS, including GST reconciliations

- Liaising with external accountants on compliance and year-end requirements

- Managing accounts payable and supplier payments

- Managing receivables, including monitoring outstanding invoices and following up overdue payments

This role will suit you if:
