Applicants should be comfortable working on-site as a condition of the role.

About You

We are looking for someone who is organised, reliable, has a keen eye for detail and is eager to develop their accounting skills. While previous experience in an accounts or finance role would be an advantage, we are willing to train the right person who demonstrates the right attitude, aptitude and willingness to learn.

Ideally, you will have:

• An interest in accounting, bookkeeping or finance.
• Basic knowledge of accounting principles or some experience working with financial records.
• Confidence using computers and a willingness to develop your Microsoft Excel skills.

• A positive attitude, willingness to learn and the ability to follow established procedures.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work cooperatively as part of a team.
• A commitment to confidentiality, integrity and professional standards.
• Relevant qualifications or previous experience in accounting, bookkeeping, accounts payable or general administration would be an advantage, but are not essential

We encourage applications from candidates who can demonstrate their potential, transferable skills and genuine interest in developing a career in accounting.

Training and Development

Campsie RSL Group is committed to helping the successful candidate develop the skills and knowledge required for the role. On-the-job training and guidance will be provided to help you become familiar with our accounting systems, financial procedures, reconciliations and reporting requirements.

You don't need to know everything from day one. We are looking for the right person with a positive attitude, a willingness to learn and the potential to grow with our Finance Department.

Any of the following would be beneficial, but is not essential:

• Previous experience in an accounts, bookkeeping or finance-related role.
• Experience with data entry, invoices, payments or financial records.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Excel or accounting software.
• Exposure to bank reconciliations, accounts payable or month-end processes.
• Experience preparing financial documentation or supporting reporting requirements.
• Experience with MYOB EXO, MYOB AccountRight or similar accounting systems.

• A commitment to accuracy, accountability and professional standards.
• The ability to work independently on assigned tasks while contributing to a collaborative Finance team.

• A practical approach to improving processes and reducing recurring errors.
• Respect for confidentiality, internal controls and delegated authority.
