For the Books | Why be ordinary?

We’re a boutique bookkeeping and BAS agent practice. We work with creatives (authors, artists, makers, and the delightfully unconventional) and all kinds of small businesses. We're serious about compliance and helping clients, but not about ourselves.

We’re growing and need someone local(ish) who loves getting the details right the first time.

Why this role exists

Our clients rely on us for payroll, BAS, and clean books. Above all else, accuracy and timing matter. When payroll needs to land on a Monday, it needs to land on a Monday. We want someone who is on the ball during business hours, and can pick up the phone when a manager needs to sign off on timesheets.

What you’ll be doing

- Data entry, bank reconciliations, and day-to-day bookkeeping in Xero
- Processing payroll, including following up with clients, staff, and managers for approvals
- Working through Dext files for clients
- Flagging anything that doesn’t look right
- Working alongside our existing team members, who’ll train you and review your work

What we’re looking for

- Xero experience (essential)
- Dext, Employment Hero, and/or Tanda experience (a big plus)
- Some payroll experience. We’ll train you on the rest.
- Reliable attention to detail. You’re the person who notices when something’s out by 10 cents and can’t rest until it’s fixed.
- Strong tech skills. You pick up new software quickly and enjoy finding a better way to do things.
- Accuracy and speed: getting it right, without taking all week

We care more about how you think and how carefully you work than about your years of bookkeeping experience. Sharp, curious,



and reliable beats a long CV.

The details

- Hours: 15–25 per week, flexible within business hours. School hours suit us perfectly. And there is always room to grow!
- Days: Monday to Wednesday are a must (our busiest payroll days). Thursday and Friday are negotiable.
- Location: Fully remote, ideally based in South East Queensland, with occasional in-person catch-ups (yes, including the Christmas party) and the odd on-site day with clients as required
- Employment: Casual to start, with permanent part-time possible for the right person after the first three months
- Pay: Clerks Award rates as a minimum, with room to negotiate for the right skills and experience
- This role is during business hours. It isn’t suited to evening or after-hours work.

How to apply

Apply via email at [email protected] with:

- The software you’ve used (Xero, Dext, payroll platforms, anything else)

Shortlisted applicants will be asked to complete a short practical test. It’s nothing scary, just a chance to show us your eye for detail.
