Trust Accountant

Join Us & Help Shape Trust Accounting in a High-Growth, People-First Business

Are you a detail-driven finance professional who takes pride in accuracy, loves a well-reconciled account, and enjoys working in a fast-paced, collaborative team? Ready to bring your trust accounting expertise to a business where culture and innovation are at the core?

At HPX Group, we're not just building a professional services firm - we're building something different.

As one of Australia's fastest-growing businesses, we believe delivering a great People Experience (Px) leads to a better Client Experience (Cx). That means we put culture first, and we've built everything from our systems to our leadership around this philosophy.

We're now looking for a motivated Trust Accountant to join our Finance Team and play a key role in managing trust operations for Hamilton Locke.

This is a hands-on role with variety and responsibility, working closely with our offshore accounting support, internal finance team, and partners across the business to ensure our trust accounting processes run smoothly and meet compliance requirements.

Accounting Admin – 5% of your role

• 2+ years' experience in a trust accounting role (ideally in a law firm)
• Experience with online banking platforms and payment processing
• Strong attention to detail and process-driven mindset
• Excellent time management skills — calm under pressure and deadline-focused

• Intermediate Excel skills and general tech-savviness
• Adaptable, positive, and comfortable working in a high-growth environment
