About you

You’ll be someone who enjoys working with numbers, systems and people, and who can manage competing priorities without losing sight of the detail.

We’re looking for:

• Strong experience across the full accounting function, with hands-on responsibility for accounts payable, accounts receivable, banking, reconciliations, payroll and month-end accounting.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to your work.
• Strong Excel skills, including experience with pivot tables.
• Confident computer and systems skills.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to produce accurate, timely and meaningful information.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to meet deadlines.
• A professional, service-focused approach when dealing with colleagues, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders.
• A proactive and improvement-focused approach, with the ability to recognise opportunities for greater efficiency and communicate ideas constructively.
• Experience with Xero is advantageous but not essential.
• Payroll experience is preferred, particularly experience with Crystal or similar payroll systems.

What’s on offer

This is an excellent opportunity to join a diverse and established business where no two days are exactly the same. You’ll work in a collaborative and supportive office environment and have exposure to a broad range of finance functions.
