Job description

Vertex Facades specialises in supplying and installing glazed facades on large-scale commercial buildings across Western Australia. We’re hiring a Bookkeeper and Office Administrator to take ownership of the finance and admin function.

Our current administrator is moving on and leaving the books in great shape, so you’ll be stepping into a well‑run, up‑to‑date function rather than fixing someone else’s mess.

THE ROLE

Run the day‑to‑day books in Xero, including payroll, BAS preparation, accounts payable and receivable, and monthly reporting. Handle subcontractor onboarding, progress claim tracking, and retention management while working closely with the operations team to keep projects compliant and on schedule. In addition, coordinate office supplies, schedules, and other day‑to‑day administrative duties, working directly with the owner and operations manager.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Solid Xero experience and confidence running the day‑to‑day books on your own
• Strong working knowledge of payroll, BAS, and accounts payable and receivable
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
• Construction or trades industry experience is a plus, not essential
• A clear, friendly communication style that works with the team and external contacts alike
• Full working rights in Australia

You’ll be the person we rely on to keep the back office running smoothly. The work is varied, the team is small enough that what you do matters, and you’ll have the autonomy to do the job well.

If you take pride in a tidy set of books and a well‑run office, we’d love to hear from you.
