• Sound knowledge of GST coding and experience preparing or reviewing BAS and IAS.
• Strong attention to detail, organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
• A proactive and collaborative approach, with the confidence to ask questions, clarify information and communicate openly rather than make assumptions.

It would be an advantage if you also have:

• Payroll processing experience, particularly using Employment Hero.
• Intermediate Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables and reconciliations.
• Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping or a higher qualification.
• Experience using Retail Express or Ocerra.
• Previous experience working across multiple entities or within a not-for-profit organisation.

Above all, we value someone who is reliable, takes ownership of their work and knows when to seek clarification. You will be joining a busy team, so your ability to work independently while maintaining accuracy and communicating effectively will be essential.
