Job description

Account Assistant / Bookkeeper (Part-Time, Remote)

We are looking for an organised and detail-focused Accounts Assistant or Bookkeeper to join our Finance team. This role is a part‑time position, initially for 2 days per week with flexible, fully remote working arrangements. It is ideal for a bookkeeping professional who enjoys working independently and contributing to the success of a growing business.

Working closely with the broader Finance team, you will support a range of day‑to‑day finance activities including accounts payable, basic record‑keeping, reconciliations, and month‑end processes.

The scope and level of responsibility will be tailored to your experience. An experienced candidate may take ownership of a broader range of finance activities, while someone earlier in their career will be supported to build their capability and gradually take on additional responsibilities.

• Accounts Payable – Process supplier invoices, including checking, coding, entering and preparing invoices for payment approval
• Ledger Integrity – Complete bank, credit card and general account reconciliations in MYOB
• Month‑End Support – Assist with month‑end activities, including processing journals, accruals and balancing ledgers
• Accounts Receivable – Support basic accounts receivable activities as required, including customer invoices and debtor follow‑up
• Data & Records – Maintain accurate and well‑organised and confidential finance records
• Query Resolution – Work collaboratively with staff, managers, customers and suppliers to resolve transactional discrepancies
• Process Improvement – Identify opportunities to improve finance systems, workflows, data quality and efficiency

The Accounts Payable Officer collaborates with Heart and Vascular staff and vendors, supporting patient‑centred cardiovascular care across South Australia within a positive workplace culture.

You are reliable, highly organised and comfortable working independently in a remote environment. You take pride in producing accurate work, meeting deadlines and following tasks through to completion.

You may have experience across bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll or general finance administration. We do not expect you to have mastery over every single area on day one; your attention to detail, communication skills and willingness to learn matter most.

Ideally, you bring experience across some or all the following areas:

• End-to-end accounts payable or general finance administration
• Completing bank or balance sheet reconciliations
• Hand‑on experience with MYOB (or similar systems)
• Microsoft Excel and general data management
• A knack for identifying errors, investigating discrepancies and finding practical solutions
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for managing vendor and internal queries.

Why Work With Us

• Competitive hourly rate – $34-42/hr based on experience and technical accounting capability
• True Flexibility – 100% remote role with flexible hours across your 2 days per week
• Growth – Long‑term role with the opportunity to take on more scope as the business grows
• Impact – Work closely with business leadership in a supportive, collaborative environment
