- Support payroll processing, superannuation and related compliance tasks
- Assist with month-end close, BAS/IAS preparation and coordination with external accountants
- Maintain organised digital records and document management for finance, audit and compliance readiness
- Respond to internal finance queries and help improve processes as the business scales
What we’re looking for
- Demonstrated accounts and bookkeeping experience in a professional services, consultancy or SME environment
- Working knowledge of Australian GST, payroll and small-business accounting requirements
- Proficiency with cloud accounting platforms (e.g. Xero, MYOB or equivalent)
- Strong attention to detail, reliability and discretion with sensitive financial information
- Clear communication and comfort working with non-finance stakeholders across the business
- Australian citizenship
- Minimum two years of proven experience in a relevant role
- Own GitLab instance and home lab environment (highly desirable)
- Existing Australian Government security clearance (highly desirable)
- Industry certifications (highly desirable)
What it feels like to work here

Why engineers join

- Own core finance operations in a small, senior team — not buried in a large corporate finance department

- Build finance capability in a company focused on delivery, not bureaucracy
