Job Description

We are looking for an organised and detail-focused Accounts Assistant or Bookkeeper to join our Finance team.



This role is a part‑time position, initially for 2 days per week with flexible, fully remote working arrangements. It is ideal for a bookkeeping professional who enjoys working independently and contributing to the success of a growing business.

Working closely with the broader Finance team, you will support a range of day‑to‑day finance activities including accounts payable, basic record-keeping, reconciliations, and month‑end processes.

The scope and level of responsibility will be tailored to your experience. An experienced candidate may take ownership of a broader range of finance activities, while someone earlier in their career will be supported to build their capability and gradually take on additional responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

- Accounts Payable – Process supplier invoices, including checking, coding, entering and preparing invoices for payment approval
- Ledger Integrity – Complete bank, credit card and general account reconciliations in MYOB
- Month-End Support – Assist with month-end activities, including processing journals, accruals and balancing ledgers
- Accounts Receivable – Support basic accounts receivable activities as required, including customer invoices and debtor follow-up
- Data & Records – Maintain accurate and well‑organised and confidential finance records




- Query Resolution – Work collaboratively with staff, managers, customers and suppliers to resolve transactional discrepancies
- Process Improvement – Identify opportunities to improve finance systems, workflows, data quality and efficiency

About you:

- You are reliable, highly organised and comfortable working independently in a remote environment. You take pride in producing accurate work, meeting deadlines and following tasks through to completion.
- You may have experience across bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll or general finance administration. We do not expect you to have mastery over every single area on day one; your attention to detail, communication skills and willingness to learn matter most.
- Ideally, you bring experience across some or all the following areas:
- End-to-end accounts payable or general finance administration
- Completing bank or balance sheet reconciliations
- Hand‑on experience with MYOB (or similar systems)
- Microsoft Excel and general data management
- A knack for identifying errors, investigating discrepancies and finding practical solutions
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for managing vendor and internal queries.

Why Work With Us:

- Competitive hourly rate – $34-42/hr based on experience and technical accounting capability
- True Flexibility – 100% remote role with flexible hours across your 2 days per week
- Growth – Long‑term role with the opportunity to take on more scope as the business grows
- Impact – Work closely with business leadership in a supportive, collaborative environment
