Job Title: Bookkeeper

About us: Alvarez & Marsal is a leading independent global professional services firm, specializing in providing turnaround management, performance improvement and corporate advisory services. With more than 9000 professionals based in locations across North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America, we have recently expanded to Australia with offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

We are looking for highly skilled and motivated bookkeeping staff to support our new Australia-wide turnaround and restructuring business. This is an exciting opportunity to join a new and growing business unit and be part of the foundation for an expanding business.

Job Summary:
We are seeking at least two (FTE) detail-oriented and reliable bookkeepers to manage a large portfolio of client company accounts. Each client has its own bank account and general ledger and you will be responsible for ensuring each of these are accurate and up to date together with lodging prescribed financial reports with ASIC, all under the supervision of our team of professional staff and registered liquidators. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of accounting principles, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to ensure accurate financial reporting.

If you are already familiar with Turnkey’s IPS (Insolvency Practitioner System), that would be advantageous but it is not a requirement
4. Strong knowledge of bookkeeping and accounting principles, practices, and standards
5. Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
6. Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet critical, regular deadlines
7. Strong communication and interpersonal skills
8. General knowledge of GST & PAYG laws and compliance requirements as well as knowledge of and experience with Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting processes and obligations

Work Environment:

2. Office-based role, but you will have the flexibility to work from home in line with Alvarez & Marsal policy
3. Collaborative and supportive team environment
