Assistant Accountant

Salary: $90,000 - $95,000 + Super

Are you looking for an opportunity where you'll genuinely enjoy coming into the office each day while continuing to develop your accounting career?

Our client is a rapidly growing investment group that has doubled in size over the past 18 months and continues to experience impressive growth. With around 200 employees and ambitious expansion plans, this is an exciting time to join a business where your career can grow alongside the organisation.

The company has built an outstanding reputation in its market and offers the perfect balance of a high-performing, professional environment with an approachable and collaborative culture. As a privately owned business, decisions are made quickly, ideas are welcomed, and there is far less bureaucracy than you'll find in larger corporate organisations.

The offices are modern, spacious and easily accessible by public transport, making it an enjoyable place to work every day. The business also invests heavily in its people, offering flexible start and finish times, a range of employee benefits, regular team initiatives, and every Thursday a private chef prepares lunch for the entire office.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Accounts Payable Officer or Finance Officer looking to take the next step into an Assistant Accountant position, while still enjoying a hands-on transactional role. It would also suit an Assistant Accountant who prefers to remain heavily involved in the transactional side of finance rather than moving into a purely reporting-focused position.

With a strong focus on Accounts Payable, you'll also gain valuable exposure to month-end accounting, including accruals, prepayments, fixed assets and reconciliations, making this an ideal role for someone looking to broaden their accounting knowledge while continuing to do what they enjoy.

Key Responsibilities

• Processing, coding and approving supplier invoices within a highly manual Accounts Payable environment.
• Managing creditor payments and coordinating weekly payment runs.
• Processing corporate credit cards and completing monthly reconciliations.
• Processing employee expense reimbursements in line with company policies.
• Reviewing and auditing credit card transactions and expense claims.
• Following up with employees regarding approvals, coding discrepancies and missing documentation.
• Performing general ledger coding, including GST allocation.
• Completing daily bank reconciliations and investigating discrepancies.
• Assist with payroll, credit card and intercompany reconciliations.
• Maintaining the fixed asset register.
• Assisting with month-end close, including accruals, prepayments and general ledger maintenance.
• Supporting BAS preparation.
• Preparing expense reports and resolving reconciliation variances during month-end.

About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys working in the office as part of a collaborative team and is looking for a long-term opportunity.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Previous experience as an Accounts Payable Officer, Finance Officer or Assistant Accountant.
• Strong experience within a high-volume, manual Accounts Payable environment.
• Exposure to month-end tasks such as reconciliations, accruals, prepayments or fixed assets will be highly regarded.
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Strong communication skills and a proactive attitude.
• A genuine desire to continue developing your accounting career while remaining involved in transactional finance.

If you're looking for a role where you'll be supported, challenged and given every opportunity to develop your career within a successful and growing organisation, we'd love to hear from you. Please reach out to Yani Bormans (yani.bormans@roberthalf.com.au) at if interested.
