Role Purpose

This is a hands-on role for someone early in their finance career who wants to step up, take ownership of key processes, and grow into a leadership pathway. You will work closely with our directors, ensuring our books are accurate, projects are tracked properly, and reporting deadlines are met. Over time, you will get exposure to job costing, WIP, and project-level reporting, building the foundations to become a future Financial Controller.

  • Help directors with budgeting and forecasting cycles

Job costing & WIP

  • Capture costs accurately and keep cost codes consistent

  • Assist with tracking WIP, retentions, and progress claims

  • Support billing discipline and ensure claims are submitted on time

Accounts payable & receivable

  • Monitor supplier invoices and implement purchase order discipline

  • Help coordinate progress claims and follow up outstanding invoices

  • Maintain supplier compliance documentation

What you will bring

  • 1 to 3 years experience in accounting, finance, or bookkeeping (construction or trades exposure is a bonus)

  • Strong working knowledge of Xero and Excel

  • An eye for detail and willingness to learn job costing and project reporting

  • Organised, proactive, and comfortable working to deadlines

  • Great communication skills, able to work with both office and site staff

  • Full Australian working rights

Nice to have

  • Exposure to BAS/IAS preparation

  • Understanding of WIP, retentions, or subcontractor compliance

  • Interest in growing into a Finance Manager or Financial Controller role over time
