Description

Multiworks + You

Want to put your accounting skills to work in a business that builds projects that matter?

Multiworks is a self-performing civil and infrastructure contractor with a simple purpose: building trust in construction. For more than 20 years we’ve delivered complex, high-value projects for some of Australia’s most critical asset owners in energy, water, transport and defence, using our own people, plant and equipment. We’re proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work™.

About the role

We’re looking for an Assistant Accountant to join our Finance team in Brooklyn. This is a full-time, permanent position reporting to the Chief Financial Officer. This dynamic role will be a true contributor to the growth of the business.

You’ll provide end-to-end transactional finance support across accounts payable, accounts receivable and commercial administration. The role keeps supplier, subcontractor, client and project records accurate in Workbench and Xero and delivers timely end-of-month (EOM) tasks and reporting. As a key part of the Finance team, the incumbent will work collaboratively with a variety of teams including project managers, engineers, pre-contracts staff and plant management. Similarly, the role acts as a key point of contact for accounts payable and accounts receivable matters with external stakeholders. In addition, the incumbent will actively support exciting new innovation initiatives that ensure Multiworks provides best-practice processes and efficient solutions internally and to our customers.

What you’ll do

  • Review, code and export invoices from Workbench to Xero, and process office invoices and subcontractor claims.
  • Set up new suppliers, clients and awarded projects across Xero, Workbench and BuildPass.
  • Ensure subcontractor insurances are up to date and reconcile supplier statements each month.
  • Prepare bank guarantees, issue final claims and follow up overdue invoices.
  • Allocate and process monthly fleet invoices (Toyota Fleet and SG Fleet) and raise overhead adjustments.
  • Undertake financial month-end tasks, including project cost adjustments, reconciliations and reporting.
  • Help project teams with Workbench and Xero queries.
  • Be involved in the procure to pay processes.
  • Proactively contribute to business innovative initiatives.

What you’ll bring

  • A degree in Accounting or Commerce (completed or in progress).
  • Minimum 2-4 years’ experience in AP, AR or assistant accountant roles.
  • Working knowledge of Xero and MYOB (or similar).
  • Intermediate Excel skills.
  • A solid understanding of GST, subcontractor claims and month-end processes.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to handle high-volume, deadline-driven work.
  • Clear communication skills, and confidence working with project managers, suppliers and clients.
  • Experience with Workbench or a similar job-costing system (we can train you).
  • Experience in construction or another project-based business.

Our values

We live by four values: Craft (do the job once, do it right), Care (work as one), Courage (have a go, speak up) and Credibility (do what we say). If they sound like you, you’ll fit right in.

Why Multiworks

  • A Great Place to Work™ with a supportive, collaborative Finance team.
  • Exposure to the commercial side of major infrastructure projects.
  • Ongoing training and development, plus a chance to help improve our finance systems.
  • Access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
