Ready to do workthat actually excites you?

We’re looking for an experienced Intermediate Bookkeeper to support the Australian finance function of an established commercial and retail property group managing office, retail, and industrial assets across several states. In this role, you’ll handle daily transaction processing, bank and supplier reconciliations, intercompany schedules, and month-end support using Xero. You’ll work as part of a newly established offshore finance team alongside an experienced Lead Bookkeeper who will provide guidance and review your work, with support from the Australian finance function. This role is ideal for someone with solid Australian bookkeeping experience who is accurate, organised, comfortable following defined processes, and confident identifying and escalating variances when something doesn’t reconcile.

What You’ll Do

• Process corporate accounts payable and accounts receivable transactions in Xero, ensuring transactions are accurately coded to the correct entity and account
  
• Process staff expense claims and corporate card transactions against supporting documentation
  
• Prepare payment runs and supporting documentation for review and approval by the Australian finance team
  
• Maintain accurate supplier and customer records in accordance with established verification requirements
  
• Prepare bank and supplier statement reconciliations across multiple entities, identifying and escalating differences for review
  
• Prepare balance sheet and intercompany reconciliation schedules, ensuring unmatched balances are clearly identified and followed up
  
• Assist with clearing reconciling items and provide supporting information for items requiring further investigation
  
• Prepare month-end working papers, including accruals, prepayments, and other supporting schedules
  
• Assist with compiling financial data for monthly management reporting and BAS preparation
  
• Maintain fixed asset registers, depreciation schedules, and other financial records as required
  
• Prepare supporting data and variance information for review, escalating unusual movements or discrepancies
  
• Follow documented finance procedures and maintain complete supporting evidence for all accounting activities
  
• Maintain working papers and financial documentation in the nominated system of record
  
• Identify process gaps, duplication, or manual workarounds and raise opportunities for improvement
  
• Support the Lead Bookkeeper and Australian finance team with ad hoc bookkeeping and accounting tasks as required
  
• Work within defined authority boundaries, ensuring approvals, payment releases, statutory lodgements, and final sign-offs remain with the Australian finance team

• Experience preparing reconciliations and supporting schedules, with strong attention to accuracy and detail
  
• Sound Excel capability, including lookups, pivot tables, and working with large data sets

• Ability to follow defined processes and instructions accurately, while escalating issues that require further review
