  • Certificate IV in Business Administration (or equivalent experience) with a background in accounts payable — creditor setup, invoice processing, banking transactions and reconciliations
  • Solid understanding of accounting principles, including journals and end-of-month reporting
  • Confidence working independently, prioritising competing deadlines with accuracy and attention to detail
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-first approach
  • Current C Class Open Driver's Licence (or willingness to obtain)
