An exciting opportunity is available for a Payroll & Finance Officer to join a well-established, growing Australian business.

This newly created role is primarily focused on managing the internal payroll function, with some backup Accounts Payable support as required. Working closely with the CFO and wider Finance and People & Culture teams, you'll play an important role in ensuring accurate payroll administration and compliance across the business.

What's on offer?

- $90,000-$95,000 base salary + super.
- Hybrid working, with up to a 50/50 office and WFH split. Wednesdays are essential in the office.
- Newly created role with autonomy and direct exposure to a supportive CFO.

- Coordinate employee onboarding and offboarding with the People & Culture team.
- Assist with payroll tax, portable long service leave, WorkCover and year-end reporting.
- Maintain payroll records and support audits and reconciliations.

- Provide backup support to AP during busy periods and staff absences.
- Process supplier invoices, payments and staff reimbursements.
- Reconcile supplier statements and resolve discrepancies.
