Job description

About The Back Room

We exist to free our clients' time so they can focus on what they do best — growing their business. We deliver smart, efficient solutions that liberate teams from the everyday admin, and we hold ourselves to the same standard. Time is the ultimate currency, and we treat it like it.

About the Client

Our client is a private company headquartered in New Zealand, with operations extending across Australia and the United States. They are growing their existing offshore team to support their accounting function across multiple related entities and international operations. This role exists to provide reliable day-to-day finance support, helping maintain accurate records, timely invoicing, cashflow visibility, payroll processing, and month-end financial processes.

The Role

As a Junior Accountant, you'll support the day-to-day finance operations across multiple entities, with a strong focus on reconciliations, invoicing, accounts receivable, payroll support, cashflow reporting, and month-end activities. You'll work closely with the Finance Manager, Account Lead, Account Managers, and wider team to ensure recurring financial tasks are completed accurately and on time. Success in this role means maintaining reliable financial records, staying on top of recurring deadlines, and proactively following up on outstanding items.

What You'll Do

• Own the integrity of the point-of-sale to Xero integration (Advance Retail Xero) and the resulting
• clearing accounts. Work with the Financial accountant to reconcile variances.
• Reconcile all Advance Retail Xero clearing accounts and tender accounts (eftpos, Afterpay, and
• other card/finance tenders), managing timing differences by tender type
• Perform daily bank reconciliations across debtor collections and store sales
• Prepare and file GST returns
• Maintain reconciliations for goods in transit, PO accruals and stock purchases
• Complete intercompany loan account reconciliations, including recharges and cash transfers
• Manage the Advance Retail reporting function and cash receipting
• Maintain debtor reconciliations and recording across the group's trading entities, including bringing
• trade debtor management in-house
• Accounts payable — supplier statement reconciliation and authorisation checks for local creditors
• Oversee data entry of supplier invoices via Datamolino, checking invoices against Advance Retail
• receipts before approval
• Intercompany oncharges, journals for stock transfers and gift vouchers, and monthly intercompany AR/AP reconciliation
• Invoicing for Stock-transfers and franchise invoicing — franchise fees, marketing fees, oncharges,
• stock returns/transfers, gift vouchers and rebates, with per-store both-sided checks
• Verify invoice flow from the stock system and post in Xero
• Provide backup and cover for the Financial Accountant as needed
• Assist with monthly management accounts and month end reporting

What We're Looking For

• Solid bookkeeping experience, ideally within a multi-entity or retail/distribution environment
• Strong working knowledge of Xero; exposure to a retail POS/inventory system (Advance Retail or
• similar) is a real advantage
• Confident with reconciliations, clearing accounts and intercompany transactions
• Sound understanding of GST/VAT and day-to-day compliance
• Familiarity with tools like Datamolino or similar AP automation
• Highly accurate, methodical and comfortable owning your own workflow in a remote setting
• A team player who communicates clearly and meets deadlines

Nice to Have

• Experience working within a multi-entity business
• Exposure to hospitality, events, or related industries
• Experience using Xero, FoundU, Scoro, BILL.com, PEX/DIVVY, or OFX
• Experience supporting Australian or US finance operations
• Strong academic performance, particularly for newly graduated candidates
• Familiarity with payroll processing and Australian STP requirements

Why This Role

This is a great opportunity for an early-career accountant to gain hands-on exposure to finance operations across multiple entities and international markets. You'll work closely with experienced finance and account management professionals while developing practical skills across reconciliations, invoicing, payroll, accounts receivable, cashflow, and month-end accounting.
