Junior Bookkeeper

Working alongside our two Bookkeepers, you’ll help with a range of straightforward, day-to-day bookkeeping and administrative tasks.

Your responsibilities will include:

Assisting with bank and account reconciliations

Entering and checking data on our bookkeeping systems

Assisting with routine bookkeeping administration

Helping our Bookkeepers with general day-to-day tasks

Carrying out other administrative tasks as required

This is a practical role where accuracy, organisation and attention to detail are particularly important.

We’re looking for someone who is organised, accurate and enjoys working with numbers and spreadsheets.

You don't need to be an experienced bookkeeper. This could be a great opportunity for someone with good administrative experience who is comfortable working with computers and enjoys detailed, structured work.

Ideally, you will have:

Excellent attention to detail

A genuine enjoyment of working with spreadsheets and data

Good numerical skills

Good computer skills

A methodical and accurate approach to work

Good written and verbal communication skills

A reliable and positive attitude

The ability to work independently while also working well alongside others

Experience using bookkeeping software would be a bonus. Familiarity with XERO, Dext and similar similar bookkeeping/accounting software would be particularly useful, but full training will be provided.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who likes getting the details right and is happy doing accurate, repetitive tasks as part of a busy office.
