Why This Role Could Be Right for You
Looking for a part-time role that fits around your other commitments? Or perhaps you’re re-entering the workforce and want a role offering flexibility while making a real impact?

As our Accountant, you’ll manage the financial operations of Red Spice Road and smaller entities within Apples and Pears Entertainment Group. Reporting to the General Manager, you’ll provide key financial insights to help guide business decisions.

With set workdays that fit around you, plus the potential for some remote work, this role offers balance, variety and challenge in a friendly work environment. Plus, enjoy staff meals and employee discounts.

What You’ll Gain from This Opportunity

1. See Your Impact – Work closely with leadership and see how your insights shape real business decisions.
2. Variety & Growth – From financial reporting, budgeting, and commercial analysis, you’ll gain broad experience across the business.
3. Independence – As a standalone role, you’ll have the autonomy while still being part of a supportive team.

What You’ll Be Doing

1. Own the numbers – Manage financial reporting, budgeting, and cash flow, including month-end reporting and accounts payable.
2. Be a trusted business partner – Prepare weekly & monthly reports, providing financial insights to improve efficiency and profitability.
3. Ensure compliance – Work with external advisors to ensure tax and regulatory requirements (BAS, FBT, etc.) are completed accurately and on time.
4. Problem-solve on the go – Identify ways to streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve reporting.
5. Keep operations running smoothly – From reconciliations to stock takes, you’ll ensure financial operations are seamless.

Who You Are

1. Love the buzz of hospitality – You enjoy working in a fast-moving industry and understand the dynamics of restaurants.
2. Hands-on and independent – You can manage end-to-end accounting functions without needing a big corporate structure.
3. A problem-solver – You don’t just report the numbers; you find ways to improve them.
4. Great with people – Strong communication skills mean you can explain financial insights to non-finance team members.
5. Deadline-driven – You know how to prioritise and plan to meet reporting timelines.

Your Experience & Qualifications

1. 4+ years of experience in financial or management accounting (hospitality experience a bonus!)
2. Strong Excel skills (intermediate to advanced)
