Job description

Looking for an accounting role with variety, responsibility and room to grow?

We're partnering with a well-established and growing accounting and wealth advisory group to find a capable, hands-on Assistant Accountant to join their internal Corporate Finance team.

This isn't your traditional public practice accounting role. You'll be supporting the financial operations of the business itself, working closely with the Finance Manager and engaging with stakeholders across the organisation.

You'll have plenty of variety across the finance function, including:

• Managing accounts payable, receivable and debtor relationships
• Supporting monthly payroll, superannuation and salary sacrifice arrangements
• Bank reconciliations, payment processing and cash management
• Assisting with month-end reporting and revenue reconciliations
• Maintaining accurate financial records and supporting process improvements
• Working collaboratively with the wider business to keep things running smoothly

We're looking for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, takes ownership of their work and has a great eye for detail.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Solid experience in an Assistant Accountant, Accounts Officer or similar finance role
• Strong hands‑on AP, AR and reconciliation experience
• Practical payroll experience
• Experience with Xero and Excel
• Good Excel skills and strong organisational abilities
• A positive, approachable personality and confidence working with different stakeholders

Why consider this opportunity?

Broad, hands‑on accounting responsibilities

Supportive Finance Manager and collaborative team

Opportunity to develop your skills and grow your career

Modern Melbourne CBD office, conveniently located near public transport

Established business with a strong reputation and continued growth

If you're looking for an opportunity to make a genuine contribution, broaden your accounting experience and be part of a great team, we'd love to hear from you.
