• Processing of fortnightly payroll
• Management of fixed asset register, rental property payments, bonds and agreements
• Annual insurance renewal

To be considered for this role, you will have previous experience in a similar accounting role where you have prepared financial statements and managed budgets. You will have a high level of attention to detail, proficiency using Excel and Xero and you will also be happy to roll up your sleeves and process Accounts Payable/Receivable invoicing and Payroll. You may be CA qualified but equally we will consider candidates who are qualified by experience. The Accountant will build strong relationships with staff, as well as hall residents, in regard to payment of fees and other financial considerations. We are looking for someone with a positive and engaging personality, and an adaptable and flexible approach.
In return, this role offers you excellent flexibility in being able to manage your hours and your workload to fit your lifestyle. A fantastic working environment awaits you, along with the opportunity to be part of a friendly and collaborative team.
