The Opportunity

This role sits within a specialist bookkeeping function, giving you ownership of a client portfolio while helping those clients modernise their finance operations. You'll coach clients, run training, and lead app integrations and workflow automation, and you'll see the difference your improvements make, fast.

Ideal for someone coming from public practice, who enjoys variety, autonomy, and client interaction.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver client training sessions on best-practice workflows, app usage, and integrations; support onboarding to cloud tools and simple automations
  • Process accounts payable/receivable, reconcile bank/credit card accounts, and prepare BAS, IAS, and Payroll Tax lodgements
  • Administer payroll in line with Fair Work and ATO requirements, including superannuation contributions
  • Assist with monthly/quarterly management reporting, cash-flow monitoring, budgeting, and forecasting

About You

  • 2+ years experience in bookkeeping and/or payroll
  • Strong understanding of BAS, IAS, and payroll compliance
  • Experience working across multiple entities

What's On Offer

  • Flexible working environment (2 days WFH, flexible hours)
  • Modern offices and top tier tech stack with investment into AI technologies
  • Varied role with autonomy and client ownership
  • Work from any office across Australia
  • Development programs, on-the-job training, peer review and study support for those with ambition
  • Paid parental leave & Volunteering (CSR) leave
  • Ergonomic, collaborative offices close to public transport
