Job description

Established in 2010, SAE Group is an Australian owned and operated company providing energy efficient solutions to homes and businesses.

We are one of the largest solar installers in the country, working across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Ballina, Coffs Harbour, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Our values are Safety, Adaptability, Environment, Integrity and Quality.

An accounts role with a beach at lunchtime

Our Kingscliff office is a short walk from the beach, so lunch by the water is part of the week here.

The role has real substance too. You will run the reconciliations, help prepare the monthly profit and loss, keep a close eye on costs, and be the go to person for our data entry staff. If you see a better way to do something, you will have the backing to change it.

What you will be doing

Accounts and reporting

• Complete bank and balance sheet reconciliations
• Help prepare the monthly profit and loss and other financial reports
• Support accounts payable and keep financial records accurate
• Investigate and sort out account discrepancies
• Cover accounts receivable during leave, including customer follow ups and payment allocation
• Back up our small scale technology certificate (STC) processing during leave, including documentation, submissions and follow ups
• Learn how solar administration works from the ground up. We will train you.

Improving how we work

• Guide our data entry staff and check their work is accurate and on time
• Track costs and find ways to bring them down
• Review how we do things and put better processes in place
• Make sure nothing falls through the cracks
• Help customers, suppliers and internal teams resolve enquiries and operational issues

What you will bring

• Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping or higher, or equivalent experience
• Experience in accounts or financial administration
• A solid grasp of reconciliations and core accounting processes
• Real attention to detail and accuracy with numbers
• Confidence with accounting software and Microsoft Office
• Clear communication and good customer service
• The ability to manage your own workload and help others get it right
• A commercial mindset. You care about what things cost and why.

Nice to have

• Accounts payable and receivable experience
• Profit and loss and management reporting
• STC processing or renewable energy administration
• Solar experience is not essential. We will teach you the industry if you bring the financial fundamentals.

What we offer

• Hybrid working once you have completed your first three months
• A Kingscliff office a short walk from the beach. Lunch by the water is a regular thing here.
• Training in solar and STC administration
• Room to improve how things are done and see the results
• Employee Assistance Program
• Company events and access to employee benefits
• An Australian owned business that has been growing since 2010
