Perth, Western Australia Eastern Guruma Full time

Introduction:

About Us

We are one of Australia's most successful Aboriginal businesses, 100% owned by members of the traditional owner group Eastern Guruma.

As a contractor, we have successfully delivered diverse projects and services for Australia's leading mining companies, resulting in continuous growth with a focus on diversity engagement.

Our people are our most valuable assets, and we support and invest in your professional development.

Description:

Eastern Guruma Pty Ltd is seeking an exceptionally capable and highly self-sufficient Assistant Accountant to join our fast-paced and technically complex finance environment. This role is demanding and requires a resilient, detail-obsessed professional with extensive experience managing end-to-end AP and AR cycles in a high-volume, compliance-focused organization.

This is not your average assistant accounting role.

What makes this position unique — and challenging:

  • You will be solely responsible for managing supplier payments from PO to bank execution, with zero tolerance for error.
  • Month-end? You'll need to manage reconciliations, journals, and financial interfaces to tight timeframes with minimal supervision.
  • Stakeholder expectations are high, including working across operational, commercial, and compliance teams daily.
  • Assist in tracking Carbon costs using Sumday.
  • Run basic PowerBi reports.
  • Experience with Lightyear and Medius is mandatory. If you haven't used Lightyear before, this role is not suitable for you.

Skills and Experiences:

You must have:

  • 5+ years' proven experience in a similar accounting function, preferably in mining, civil, or Indigenous enterprise sectors.
  • Experience with Lightyear and Medius systems — mandatory.
  • Solid command of Lightyear, Microsoft Excel (intermediate to advanced), and exposure to financial system integrations.
  • The ability to self-direct, anticipate needs, and operate with confidentiality and accuracy.
  • Outstanding attention to detail, especially under pressure.

You'll be expected to:

  • Manage the entire Accounts Payable function — from data entry to supplier payments and PO governance, liaising with Eftsure to ensure supplier information accuracy.
  • Coordinate with key suppliers and internal stakeholders to manage compliance and performance obligations.
  • Assist with credit applications, month-end reconciliations, banking processes, and audit preparation.
  • Handle Carbon Accounting tasks.
  • Perform some reporting duties.
  • Provide short-term coverage for payroll and receivables, requiring a confident and quick learner.
  • Contribute to policy compliance, system improvements, and change management initiatives.

Location: Perth-based with flexibility across multiple operating environments.

If you're seeking a low-pressure finance role, this isn't it.

If you are a proactive, tech-savvy accounting professional with high accountability and exceptional system fluency (especially in Lightyear), we want to hear from you.

Apply now with a tailored cover letter outlining how you meet the mandatory criteria. Generic applications will not be considered.
