About the Role

Glen Fisk Recruitment is seeking an experienced Business and Personal Accountant to provide comprehensive accounting, financial management and business administration support across a diverse portfolio of privately owned companies, trusts, investments and operating businesses.

This is a unique opportunity for a commercially minded, hands‑on accounting professional to take ownership of financial management and business administration across a diverse portfolio of privately owned companies, trusts, investments and operating businesses.

Working directly with the Principal, you will play an integral role in maintaining accurate financial records, overseeing compliance obligations, coordinating external advisers and supporting the day‑to‑day financial operations of multiple entities.

Unlike a traditional accounting position, this role offers exposure to a broad range of business activities, investments and operational responsibilities. We are seeking someone who enjoys variety, takes initiative and is confident managing their responsibilities independently.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain Xero ledgers, financial records and reconciliations across multiple companies, trusts and business entities.
• Prepare monthly financial reports, year‑end workpapers and supporting documentation.
• Manage complex intercompany transactions, owner transfers, loan accounts and Division 7A schedules.
• Oversee BAS/IAS reporting, GST classifications, PAYG obligations and payroll support.
• Manage accounts payable, banking transactions, cash movements and financial approvals.
• Coordinate ASIC annual reviews, company registers and statutory compliance deadlines.
• Oversee financial operations for a high‑volume food and beverage business, including supplier invoices, sales revenue and banking reconciliations.
• Maintain accurate investment and asset registers, including property, foreign currency, interest and dividend records.
• Coordinate with external accountants, legal advisers and other professional service providers.
• Manage investment property administration, including leases, insurance, rates and property managers.
• Prepare financial summaries, cash flow information and tax‑ready documentation.
• Support selected personal financial administration, including bill payments, renewals and tax documentation.
• Maintain organised financial records, compliance calendars and reporting processes.

• Excellent organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to work autonomously, exercise sound judgement and manage competing priorities.
• High level of professionalism, discretion and confidentiality when handling sensitive financial information.
