To be successful in this role, you should demonstrate:

- A proactive, “can-do” attitude with a willingness to learn and take ownership.
- Previous experience as an Assistant Accountant, Bookkeeper, Accounts Payable/Receivable Officer, or in a similar finance role.
- Proficiency in Excel and accounting/ERP systems (experience with NetSuite or similar will be highly regarded).
- Strong knowledge of end-to-end accounting processes, including reconciliations, journals, and reporting.
- Experience working with multiple entities and multi-currency transactions.
- Familiarity with BAS, GST, PAYG and general compliance requirements.
- Excellent numerical and analytical skills, with the ability to identify and resolve discrepancies.
- Ability to handle sensitive information with confidentiality and integrity.
- Strong time management and organisational skills to manage competing priorities.
- High level of accuracy and attention to detail.
- Problem-solving mindset – able to investigate issues and implement practical solutions.
- Effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams.

Why VALD?

You will be working in a fast-paced, dynamic company that has a culture around the belief that anything is possible with hard work, creativity, dedication, and good timing.

VALD's best asset is not our technology but our people and culture. We have a range of benefits we offer to our team. Some of our perks and benefits include:

- Competitive market salary in a down-to-earth, inclusive and vibrant work environment.
- Learning from a range of high-performing individuals and teams across a range of disciplines and geographies doing interesting and varied work.
- Flexible working environment, with a casual dress code – no more corporate attire, T–shirts are the norm. You can also say goodbye to billable hours and timesheets.
- Table tennis, basketball court, end-of-trip facilities with bike and scooter racks if that’s your thing.
- Chefs that prepare you delicious fresh breakfast and lunch every day
- On-site barista to make your coffee just as you like it.
- Team gym, remedial massage therapy, subsidised access to physiotherapy and exercise physiology services.

Diversity & Inclusion Commitment

While the successful candidate should be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident, we are committed to growing and empowering an inclusive VALD team. We actively encourage applications from candidates from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. If you require accessibility assistance at any stage of the process, please let us know.
