Assistant Accountant

Summary:

We are looking for a detail-oriented temporary Assistant Accountant to join our small finance team for a fixed term (duration and start date to be confirmed). You will handle day-to-day finance work, including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and month-end reconciliations, so that we can produce accurate financial and management reports for the Executive Management Team.

This role suits someone with finance experience, not necessarily a qualified accountant, who can step in quickly and contribute to the accuracy and efficiency of our financial operations.

Responsibilities:

• Support the bookkeeping process, including accounts payable and receivable.
• Reconcile bank statements and ensure all transactions are recorded accurately.
• Record trust rental income.
• Collaborate with team members.

Successful candidates will have:

• A relevant qualification in accounting or finance (e.g., Diploma in Accounting), or equivalent experience.
• Previous experience in a finance environment, ideally including accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger or balance sheet reconciliations, so you can be productive from the first week.
• Proficiency in accounting software (MYOB) and Microsoft Excel.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy for financial reporting.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills.
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent customer service and interpersonal skills, both face to face and over the phone.
• Experience managing a database or record management system.
• The ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion.
• A reliable, honest and flexible approach to work.
