Job description

Plant and Associates Pty Ltd - Beenleigh QLD

Receptionist / Administration Assistant - Accounting Firm

We're looking for a friendly, organised and reliable Receptionist / Administration Assistant to join our team and Beenleigh Office.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being the first point of contact for clients, keeping things organised and making sure the day-to-day running of the office stays on track.

Previous reception or administration experience would be highly regarded, but we're more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, who is confident dealing with people and takes pride in keeping things organised.

What you'll be doing

Welcoming clients and managing the front reception area

Answering and directing incoming phone calls

Monitoring and responding to general enquiries

Managing incoming and outgoing mail and deliveries

Scheduling appointments and maintaining calendars

Scanning, filing and maintaining electronic and physical records

Assisting with general office administration

Supporting the accounting team with administrative tasks

Following up outstanding information from clients when required

Keeping the office organised and ensuring day-to-day administrative tasks are kept up to date

Providing general assistance to the team as required

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who is:

Friendly, approachable and professionally presented

Organised and able to manage multiple tasks

Reliable and takes ownership of their responsibilities

Comfortable communicating with clients both in person and over the phone

Confident using computers and learning new systems

Detail-oriented and takes pride in getting things right

Able to work independently but enjoys being part of a team

Previous reception or administration experience is highly regarded

You don't need to have an accounting background — we can teach you the industry-specific stuff. What matters most to us is that you're organised, personable, willing to learn and someone the team can rely on.

About the role

This is a front-of-house role with a strong focus on reception and general administration. You'll be an important part of the team and will have plenty of variety in your day, but this isn't a role where we're expecting you to come in and know how to prepare tax returns or BASs.

If you're someone who enjoys being organised, helping people and keeping things running smoothly, we'd love to hear from you.
