Love numbers, enjoy a valuable spreadsheet and get a little satisfaction when everything balances perfectly?

Well, we might just have the role for you!

Real+ is looking for an experienced Senior Bookkeeper / General & Trust to help keep our books (and those of a few of our clients) in great shape.

You'll be working across multiple sets of business accounts, with plenty of variety, a supportive team around you and the opportunity to contribute well beyond the usual bookkeeping routine.

Our office is conveniently located in St Leonards, with great transport connections and hybrid work flexibility.

About Real+

Real+ is a training, support and professional services business working with real estate businesses and property management teams across Australia.

We provide practical business support, outsourced services, training, consulting and industry solutions that help real estate teams operate better, lead better and grow stronger.

Our purpose is simple:

We make doing business easier.

About the role

As our Senior Bookkeeper / General & Trust, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day bookkeeping, accounting and financial administration across six sets of business accounts, including Real+ itself.

You'll be responsible for keeping the accounts accurate, managing deadlines, monitoring cash flow and providing reliable financial information to support business decisions.

This isn't a purely transactional bookkeeping role, nor is it a traditional Finance Manager position.

We're looking for someone who enjoys getting stuck into the detail,



takes ownership of their work and can confidently move between the practical side of bookkeeping and the broader financial needs of a business.

What you'll be doing

In this role, you'll be responsible for:

- Managing day-to-day bookkeeping and general accounting across multiple businesses

- Handling accounts payable, receivable, invoicing and supplier payments

- Completing bank, credit card and balance sheet reconciliations

- Preparing monthly Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet and financial reports

- Maintaining cash flow forecasts, budgets and Excel financial trackers

- Monitoring aged debtors, following up outstanding payments and managing creditor commitments

- Supporting GST, BAS preparation and payroll-related reconciliations

- Working closely with our General Manager on financial reporting, business performance and cash flow projections

- Liaising with clients, suppliers, external accountants and internal team members

- Identifying opportunities to improve bookkeeping processes, controls and efficiencies

- Providing occasional support to our Trust Accounting Team when required

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone with strong practical bookkeeping experience who takes pride in accuracy, reliability and getting things done.

You'll need to bring:

- Solid hands-on experience in bookkeeping and general accounting

- Strong accounts payable, accounts receivable and reconciliation skills

- Experience preparing month-end accounts and financial reports





- Confidence using Xero and/or MYOB

- Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including formulas, lookups and PivotTables

- Sound understanding of Australian GST, BAS processes and financial controls

- Experience managing multiple sets of accounts, businesses or clients

- Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines

- Confidence communicating with clients, management and colleagues

- A proactive, practical approach to problem-solving

- A positive, supportive and team-focused attitude

Experience in cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, outsourced bookkeeping, professional services or the Australian real estate industry would be highly regarded.

Formal accounting qualifications are welcome, but demonstrated hands-on experience and capability matter most.

Who we're looking for

You know that feeling when the accounts balance, the reports are done and everything is exactly where it should be?

We'd love someone who enjoys that feeling as much as we do!

You're someone who takes ownership, notices the little things and enjoys being the person others can count on.

You might come from an accounting practice, a busy business or a bookkeeping services environment. We're not overly concerned about where you've worked or which qualifications hang on your wall.

What matters is that you know your stuff, enjoy what you do and genuinely care about helping others succeed.

You'll fit right in if you're comfortable having a laugh with the team, happy to share your knowledge and willing to jump in when someone needs a hand.

Sound like your kind of workplace? We'd love to meet you.
