We are looking for an experienced, organised and proactive Accounts & Administration Officer to join us in a permanent part-time position working four days per week. You will work in two businesses based at Northgate and Brendale, spending two days each week with each business.

Both businesses operate in manufacturing and engineering. This hands-on role suits someone who enjoys working independently, managing priorities and contributing beyond traditional bookkeeping.

About the Role

• Working 30 hours per week across four days, you will provide accounts, purchasing and administration support to both businesses, using separate systems.
• Manage accounts payable and receivable, invoices and debtor follow-up.
• Complete bank, credit card and supplier statement reconciliations.
• Process payroll and maintain employee records.
• Prepare supporting information for BAS and external accountants.

Purchasing & Goods Receipting

• Raise purchase orders and place approved orders for materials and consumables.
• Liaise with suppliers about pricing, availability, deliveries and backorders.
• Record goods received and match delivery dockets, purchase orders and invoices.
• Resolve purchasing discrepancies and support stock records.

• Prepare basic reports and help improve processes.

About You

• Experience in bookkeeping, accounts administration or a similar role.
• Strong AP, AR, reconciliation and payroll skills.

Highly Regarded

• Experience using different accounting systems, particularly QuickBooks, MYOB and Xero.
• Experience across multiple businesses or accounting platforms.
• Manufacturing, engineering, fabrication or construction-related experience.
• Inventory management and goods receipting experience.

You do not need experience with every platform. Adaptability, a willingness to learn and confidence with different workflows are important.

What We Offer

• Permanent part-time employment: 4 days per week (30 hours).
• Varied responsibilities and genuine ownership of day-to-day tasks.
• Supportive, down-to-earth teams and competitive remuneration based on experience.
• Opportunity to improve business processes and systems.
