We are seeking an experienced bookkeeper to take ownership of our finance and accounts.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, autonomy, and improving systems and processes. You have strong technical skills, commercial awareness, initiative and a genuine passion for what you do.

Equally important - the prospect of creating and shaping something new excites you more than simply inheriting an existing position.

Reporting to the General Manager, you will oversee finance functions and support operational leaders with data‑driven decision‑making.

You will be responsible for managing the accounts payable and receivable function across multiple sites.

The role also involves improving financial systems, strengthening controls, and supporting the leadership team with financial insights.

We are hoping to find a Cairns or Tablelands local who is happy to work on‑site from one of our office locations.

Key responsibilities
Manage accounts receivable and accounts payable processes.
Maintain accurate financial records and bookkeeping systems.




Use Xero to process transactions and support financial reporting.
Provide back up support to our Payroll Coordinator and support to ensure payroll information is accurate and timely.
Produce basic financial reports and insights to the leadership team.
Work with leadership to create and improve finance processes and policies.

What you will bring
Formal qualifications and experience in bookkeeping.
Solid knowledge of accounts receivable and accounts payable.
Demonstrated experience using Xero.
Experience working with multiple sites.
Experience supporting payroll processes.
Excellent attention to detail and solid organisational skills.
Transparent and confident communication skills.
The ability to work autonomously, take initiative and be accountable for outcomes.
A proactive, entrepreneurial and growth-oriented mindset.
A willingness to improve processes.

Join a friendly team of locals who love what they do and take pride in doing it well
