Description:
Your Opportunity:
This is your chance to step into a broad, hands-on Assistant Accountant role where you'll gain real ownership across both accounting and administrative functions. Based at one of the key Brisbane branches where you get to choose your location (Hamilton or Rocklea), you'll be a trusted finance presence onsite, supporting operations that directly impact the success of the wider business.
With no two days the same, you'll enjoy variety in your role - from assisting with reporting and month-end tasks to managing vehicle registrations and contributing to budgeting and audits. This isn't a siloed desk job; it's a well-rounded role that offers you the chance to build your technical expertise while developing strong commercial and operational awareness.
You'll be backed by a supportive regional manager, and have the confidence of knowing you're playing a vital part in restoring and maintaining local finance capability. You'll also enjoy flexibility with your start times, and the stability that comes from being part of a well-established national network.
Whether you're working toward CPA/CA or already qualified and seeking variety, this is an excellent opportunity to grow your career in an organisation that values initiative, accuracy, and a can-do attitude.
What You'll Do:
This is a broad and hands-on Assistant Accountant position supporting a key regional branch and its sub-sites, with a focus on transactional processing, month-end reporting, and operational admin.
You'll work closely with the Regional Manager and branch leadership, gaining exposure across accounting and business operations. The role blends financial responsibilities with site-based support - ideal for someone who enjoys variety and autonomy.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Assisting with daily, monthly, and year-end accounting processes, including balance sheet reconciliations.
- Manage accounts payable and receivable, including processing 70-80 invoices weekly.
- Maintain and review the fixed asset register and support capex tracking.
- Oversee motor vehicle administration - registrations, servicing, and records for a fleet of 28 vehicles.
- Contribute to budgeting, audit preparation, and FBT reporting.
- Support continuous improvement in accounting systems, reporting processes, and compliance.
- Act as the go-to finance contact for your branch, liaising with local managers and the remote finance team.
Who You Are:
- You have 2-4 years of accounting experience, ideally in a varied role with exposure to both transactional and reporting duties.
- You're hands-on, self-sufficient, and comfortable working independently while still being part of a wider remote team.
- You're highly organised with strong attention to detail - especially when juggling tasks across AP, reporting, and admin.
- You're confident communicating with stakeholders at all levels, including depot managers and remote finance leaders.
- You're Excel-savvy, enjoy working with systems and enjoy analysing data.
- You're eager to grow your career, ideally studying or planning to study CPA/CA, and keen to build on your technical skills.
- You thrive in a role that mixes accounting with operational support and take pride in being a reliable point of contact onsite.
