Temporary Assistant Accountant

Flexible Hours, Respected Business

Company Background

Our client is a highly respected, professional services business with approximately 45 employees and a strong reputation for specialist expertise. Based in corporate Sydney CBD offices, the business offers a polished, professional environment and continues to grow.

The Role

This is a 4–6 month temporary Assistant Accountant opportunity supporting a lean finance function through its busiest period.

• Manage time-based billings by following up timesheets and finalising invoices through a clear, documented process

• Process trust account receipts, payments and related disbursements accurately

• Support Accounts Payable, including supplier reconciliations, payments and payment runs

• Assist with cash reporting, bank reconciliations and a small amount of credit control and collections

• Liaise with colleagues across the business to collate information and maintain accurate finance records in Xero

• Professional services experience ideally from a legal environment

• Experience with time-based billings, Accounts Payable, reconciliations or trust accounting will be highly regarded

• Open to either the part-time school-hours arrangement or the full-time option
