• An exciting senior employed position for an experienced BAS Agent / Bookkeeper who wants to work within a growing bookkeeping business
• Join a hands on + highly skilled + happy small team
• NOT suitable for contractors/agencies – we only hire via employees who will love our clients as much as we do!
  The ACCOUNTED FOR YOU business is growing, and we’re looking for a detail-driven Senior Bookkeeper / Team Leader, to own and manage complex accounts, lead by example, and support the day to day workings of our team of passionate bookkeepers. This is a hands on role for someone who thrives in the doing – client rescue jobs, reconciliations, tricky transactions and all the important (& sometimes complex!) work that keeps client files squeaky clean.
  While you’ll quickly become the go to for questions for junior members of the team, and become their review and escalation point, most of your time will be spent in client files, not people wrangling. You’ll be confident with your own skills, and quick to spot what’s needed to keep things moving.
  This might be perfect for you if you’ve had your own business before, and realised you’d rather be in the client work instead of running the business, or you might simply be an experienced bookkeeper looking for a new team, a new challenge, or step up into leadership. This is a stable, long term role for someone who wants to join a truly happy and collaborative team, and who takes pride in being a trusted expert.
