Finance & Admin Manager

Broad Finance and Admin Role

Company Background

Our client is a well-established business advisory firm. With over 80 years in business under various brands, they offer true job security in these turbulent times! Not only do they look after some great Australian businesses, but they also have some impressive global clients with local subsidiaries.

They look after their staff. If you want to be truly valued for your contribution, have that ‘give & take’ relationship with an employer, and take real ownership of a role – this is for you.

The role will support the Principals with a broad range of tasks outlined below, but will also play a key role in mentoring and advising the wider administration team.

While they do need this key role onsite five days a week, to ensure the smooth running of the office when things go wrong, it will be a very standard 9-5 day.

The Role

This position covers a very broad range of tasks, and no two weeks are the same. At month-end, you will have an emphasis on the finance tasks, but between these, it will be a mix of office support, HR, compliance & systems tasks.

• Monthly payroll for 20-30 employees & all associated payments.
• Preparation of financial statements, including P&L reports.
• Deliver clear, actionable monthly insights, and work with the Principals to review work in progress (WIP), cash flow, debtor reports, and overall financial performance.
• Manage HR administration, including preparing employee contracts, maintaining accurate staff records, and updating documentation following performance reviews and employment changes.
• Key liaison with their third-party IT firm to manage and mitigate upgrades & issues.
• Credit control, including chasing clients, answering invoice queries and negotiating payments.
• ATO lodgements.
• Accounts Payable.
• Office management, including mentorship & guidance to the wider administration team.
• Managing the firm's policies and procedures in SharePoint.

Your Background

Our client has been quite specific in the background they are looking for:

• A first preference for an Office Manager, Admin Manager, Company Accountant or Finance & Admin manager from another accounting firm. 
• Second preference for one of these positions in any professional services organisation. The industry relevance is non-negotiable.
• You must have experience preparing financial statements, WIP reports & debtor reports for management.
• You have worked in a broad role that includes administration, HR & IT support tasks.
• Excellent communication skills, a mature attitude and professional presentation are key.
• Xero experience would be highly regarded but not essential.
