CC Landscapes is a residential pool and landscape design and construction business based in Leichhardt. We're a team of eleven, run by two owners, building high-end pools and gardens across Sydney's inner west and eastern suburbs.
The role n
We're bringing our bookkeeping in-house and combining it with our office administration into a single role. You'd own the books and keep the office running — working directly with the two directors.
n
Our preference is part-time, around 25 hours a week between 9:30 and 2:00, Monday to Friday. There's flexibility in how those hours are arranged, and we'll consider full-time for the right person.
What you'll be doing n
Bookkeeping and payroll in QuickBooks — reconciliations, invoicing, accounts payable, BAS preparation with our accountant
n
Processing weekly timesheets for our construction crews
n
Tracking job costs against budgets in our project management software
n
Answering phone and email enquiries, and following up recent leads
n
Coordinating between our designer and the certifiers on council approvals
n
General office administration
What we're looking for n
Solid bookkeeping experience — you're comfortable owning the accounts function rather than just doing data entry
n
Confident in QuickBooks or equivalent, with payroll and BAS experience
n
Someone who follows things through without being chased
n
Strong phone manner, since you'll often be the first person a client speaks to
n
Experience in construction, trades or a project-based business is highly regarded but not essential
Why you'd want this job n
Small team, no bureaucracy, and direct access to the decision makers. The work matters — if the invoicing and job costings aren't right, the business doesn't run properly. If you like being the person who holds an office together rather than one cog in a finance department, this will suit you.
n
Around $50,000 plus super for 25 hours a week, or around $75,000 plus super full-time, depending on experience.
