Job description

We’re looking for an experienced, motivated Senior Accounts Clerk to join our Brisbane team on a full-time basis.

We are a construction contractor working across structural, mechanical, civil and piping projects, and we’re looking for someone who brings strong accounts experience, a solid work ethic and a genuine willingness to contribute as part of a small, close-knit office.

This is a hands‑on role suited to someone who is confident in their abilities, organised, reliable and keen to work. You’ll need to be comfortable managing routine accounts processes accurately and efficiently, while also using initiative and good judgement when required.

Senior Accounts Clerk – Brisbane

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Accounts payable and accounts receivable

• Payroll processing and support

• Supplier payments and reconciliations

• End‑of‑month data entry and reconciliations

• Sales and financial administration

• Filing, archiving and maintaining accurate records and data systems

• EOFY preparation and associated processes

• Managing and directing incoming phone calls professionally

• Accurate, high‑volume data entry

• General office and administrative duties as required

The role is generally Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, with some flexibility available depending on the successful candidate.

What We’re Looking For

Previous experience in a similar accounts or senior administration role is essential. We are looking for someone who can step into the position with a sound understanding of accounts processes and confidently manage their workload.

You will ideally have:

• Strong practical experience in accounts administration, bookkeeping or a similar role

• Experience with MYOB and Microsoft Excel

• Experience with payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable and reconciliations

• Excellent attention to detail and a strong focus on accuracy

• The ability to follow established processes and procedures consistently

• Strong organisational and time‑management skills

• The ability to prioritise work and operate independently

• A professional and confident telephone manner

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Good Microsoft Office skills

• Fast and accurate data‑entry and typing skills

• Reliability, punctuality and your own transport

• Relevant qualifications or training would be well regarded

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to work, takes pride in doing a job properly and can be relied upon to follow tasks through.

There are recurring processes within the role, particularly around end‑of‑month requirements, so you need to be comfortable with routine and understand the importance of completing these tasks accurately and on time. We value initiative and ideas for improvement, but we also believe it is important to first understand the systems and processes already in place.

About You

You’ll fit well within our team if you are:

• Positive, practical and willing to get involved

• Thoughtful and considered in the way you approach your work

• Dependable and accountable

• Comfortable working within a small team

• Able to work independently without needing constant direction

• Respectful, professional and easy to work with

• Someone who values doing things properly rather than simply getting them done quickly

We maintain high standards across Safety, Quality, Service, Efficiency and Communication, and honesty and reliability are extremely important to us.

This is an opportunity for an experienced accounts professional to become an important part of our Brisbane office and make a genuine contribution from day one.
