Purpose behind the scenes. Impact out in the world. Are you a detail-oriented finance professional who enjoys combining accuracy, insight and strong financial practices with purpose-driven work? At YWCA Australia, our Finance Team plays a vital role in supporting the programs, services and housing initiatives that strengthen communities and enable the long-term impact we deliver for women and gender diverse people. As an Assistant Accountant, you'll help maintain the financial health and sustainability of the organisation through accurate reporting, budgeting, compliance and financial administration. Working as part of a cooperative and supportive team, you'll help ensure our people and programs have the resources they need to deliver meaningful impact.

This is an opportunity to apply your accounting skills in a role where your work contributes to more than financial outcomes. You'll partner with teams across the organisation, support continuous improvement initiatives, and help strengthen the systems and processes that bring our purpose to life.

If you're looking for a role where you can grow your career, contribute your expertise, and be part of an organisation making a real difference in the community, we'd love to hear from you.
