• Contribute to budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis
• Support audit preparation and uphold financial controls across the business
• Supervise two finance team members and provide leave cover across AP, AR and Payroll as required

About You

• Diploma in Accounting or Finance (or equivalent), with current studies towards a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Commerce or Finance
• Approximately 2+ years’ experience in an Assistant Accountant, Finance Officer, Accounts Officer or similar role
• Strong understanding of accounting principles and month‑end processes
• Intermediate to advanced Excel skills and experience with an ERP or accounting system
• Experience in an asset‑intensive industry such as engineering, manufacturing, logistics or maintenance highly regarded
• Proactive, detail‑oriented and keen to progress towards CPA or CA studies

What’s on Offer

• Permanent full-time role in Brisbane’s inner northern suburbs
• Join a growing business that is part of an international group
• Broad exposure across accounting, operational and commercial finance
• Supportive team environment with experienced finance leadership
• Professional development and genuine career progression
