Finance and Administration Officer

About the Role Our client is a small, fast-growing Australian business operating across multiple entities, with an international supply-chain team based in China. As the business has scaled, it's outgrown a purely external bookkeeping setup and is ready to bring day-to-day finance in-house with a dedicated, hands-on hire.

This is a chance to own the books for a real, growing business — not just process transactions, but actually improve how the finance function runs. What You'll Do Own day-to-day bookkeeping and reconciliation in Odoo and Xero, including weekly bank reconciliation and the accounts payable cycle.

Run payroll and superannuation through MYOB, keeping employee and contractor records accurate. Deliver month-end close — trial balances, reconciliations, and entity-level profit & loss reporting. Flag tax-relevant transactions and prepare clean workpapers for the external accounting firm you'll liaise with directly.

Spot inefficiencies and build the fix straight into Odoo — reconciliation rules, scheduled actions, recurring journal entries. Provide light, occasional follow-up on outstanding payments (most of this is already automated). Manage shared finance and admin inboxes, with room to take on more as the role grows.

What You'll Bring Hands-on, real-world Odoo experience — this is the single most important thing we're looking for. 3+ years of bookkeeping or accounting experience, and you're comfortable owning your workload with minimal day-to-day supervision. MYOB payroll experience, including Australian superannuation obligations.

Strong written and spoken English — you'll be talking directly with the business owner and an external accounting firm. A proactive streak: you flag issues before you're asked, and you double-check your own work. Nice to Have Xero experience alongside Odoo.

Exposure to multi-entity bookkeeping. Familiarity with Australian GST, BAS, or ATO compliance concepts. A CPA or equivalent accounting qualification.

What's In It For You Genuine ownership of the books, with real latitude to improve and automate — not just data entry. A direct line to a business owner who values autonomy and gets out of your way once trust is built. A clear path toward hybrid/remote work once you've settled in and proven yourself.

A role built to grow: as the business scales, so does the scope for the right person. Call to Action Ready to make this finance function your own?
