Job description

Launch Bookkeeping and Advisory – Nerang QLD

We’re growing – and looking for a great bookkeeper to grow with us!

Part-time or Full-time | Minimum 3 days per week
Start Date: ASAP

If you’re an experienced bookkeeper who takes pride in doing things properly, genuinely cares about your clients and wants to work with a team that cares just as much about its people as it does about the work – we’d love to meet you.

At Launch Bookkeeping & Advisory, we’re building a team of trusted advisers who get to know our clients, understand their businesses and deliver work we’re genuinely proud to put our name to.

Just as importantly, we want Launch to be a great place to work.

We believe you can provide an exceptional level of service without creating a culture of overwhelm and burnout. We’re mindful of workloads and capacity, we support one another, and we value flexibility, open communication and having a team where people actually enjoy working together.

We’re growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Bookkeeper who shares that approach.

What you’ll be doing

This isn’t just a transaction-processing role. You’ll work across a varied client base and be trusted to take ownership of your work, solve problems and help us deliver an exceptional service to our clients.

Your role will include:

• Managing bookkeeping for a portfolio of clients
• Working with complex files across Xero, MYOB and other accounting platforms
• Preparing BAS and IAS workbooks
• Reviewing files and identifying issues before they become problems
• Completing catch-up and clean up bookkeeping
• Working with clients to resolve queries and improve their bookkeeping processes
• Working in specialist areas include legal trust accounting

Who we’re looking for

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Have at least 5 years’ bookkeeping experience, ideally in a client-facing environment
• Have strong Xero skills and the confidence to learn and adapt to other accounting systems
• Have an excellent understanding of GST, BAS, payroll and compliance
• Have trust accounting experience(advantageous but not a requirement)
• Are comfortable working through complex or messy files
• Have strong attention to detail and take pride in producing quality work
• Communicate confidently and professionally with clients
• Are proactive – if something doesn’t look right, you investigate it
• Enjoy being part of a collaborative team where people help each other out

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who cares – about their work, their clients and the people they work alongside.

Why Launch?

We care about quality: We’re known for providing a high level of service and we want our team to have the time and support they need to maintain that standard.

We care about our people: Workloads and capacity matter. We don't believe being constantly overloaded should simply be accepted as part of working in bookkeeping.

We offer genuine flexibility: The role can be based on the Gold Coast or worked remotely, with part-time and full-time options available.

You’ll keep learning: You’ll work across interesting and sometimes complex client files, with opportunities to develop specialist skills including legal trust accounting.

Your contribution will matter: We’re a growing business, which means you won’t just be another person processing transactions. Your experience, ideas and input will be valued as we continue to develop the way we work and support our clients. And perhaps most importantly, we want to build a team of good people who enjoy working with other good people.

We’re looking for the right person – not just the right résumé.
