Accounts Officer / Assistant

HOBAN Recruitment is proud to be partnering with a growing, family-run commercial construction business based in Drysdale to recruit an experienced Accounts Officer/Bookkeeper.

This role is open to both full-time and part-time applicants. The business is flexible around the right working arrangement, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking for either a full-time position or a part-time role with flexibility around their days and hours.

This is a hands-on role suited to an experienced accounts professional who enjoys working autonomously, taking ownership of their work and becoming an integral part of a growing business.

About the Role

Working closely with the directors and external accountants, you will take ownership of the day-to-day financial operations of the business, along with some general office administration.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing accounts payable and receivable
• Supplier payments and customer invoicing
• Bank, credit card and loan reconciliations
• Managing payroll, superannuation and STP
• Preparing information for BAS, GST, Payroll Tax and WorkCover
• Debtor management and cash flow monitoring
• Maintaining accurate financial records across multiple Xero entities
• Supporting job costing and project-related financial administration
• Liaising with external accountants and providing accurate, reconciled information
• Managing general office administration, records and documentation
• Assisting with licences, registrations, insurances and supplier accounts
• Supporting purchasing, travel and general business administration as required

About You

We are looking for someone who is confident working independently and can take ownership of the accounts function within a growing business.

You will ideally have:

• 3–5 years' experience in bookkeeping, accounts or a similar role
• Strong Xero and Excel skills
• Solid knowledge of Australian payroll, superannuation, GST and BAS
• Experience across AP, AR and account reconciliations
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities
• A proactive, practical approach and willingness to get involved

Construction industry experience is highly regarded but not essential.

For the right candidate, there is scope to take on additional responsibilities as the business continues to grow.

Why Join?

• Full-time or part-time – flexible working arrangements considered
• Join a growing, family-run business with a relaxed and down-to-earth culture
• Enjoy a genuinely autonomous role where you are trusted to get the job done
• Work closely with the directors and have visibility across the wider business
• Opportunity to grow with the business and expand your responsibilities
• Office-based role in Drysdale
• Comprehensive handover and training provided

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership of the accounts function and become an important part of a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
