Are you an experienced Accountant looking for long-term stability where you can genuinely make an impact? Join this well-established construction business with a strong reputation and a steady pipeline of work, offering you the chance to become a valued part of the team for years to come. Working closely with senior leadership, you will play an important role in supporting business performance, financial decision-making and operational success. This hands‑on position offers exposure across the full finance function and is ideal if you enjoy variety, take ownership of your work and value being closely involved in the day-to-day operations of the business.

A degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience, will be highly regarded. You will also have a sound understanding of Australian GST, BAS and taxation requirements, experience using MYOB, Xero or similar accounting systems, and strong Excel skills.
