Assistant Accountant / Senior Bookkeeper
Permanent role | Newstead location | Growing construction business

Core Talent are delighted to be partnering with a well-established and growing construction business based in Newstead. As Brisbane gears up for the 2032 Olympics, the construction industry is full steam ahead - offering strong job security and long-term career potential in a sector that's only going to keep growing.

This is a permanent, full-time role that would suit an experienced Bookkeeper or Assistant Accountant who is comfortable managing a mix of hands-on transactional work and higher-level month-end responsibilities. It's ideal for someone who enjoys variety in their day, is detail-focused, and takes pride in getting things done properly the first time.

You'll be joining a small, supportive finance team where reliability, accuracy and a team-first attitude are highly valued. The office is centrally located in Newstead, just a short walk from the train station and close to key public transport links.

What you'll be doing:

Entering and processing day-to-day transactions with high accuracy (high volume of data entry)

Supporting with month-end reporting and reconciliations

Posting journals and maintaining general ledger accuracy

Managing and processing rebates

Overseeing accounts payable and supplier payments

Minimal credit control (low volume, low complexity)

Cross-covering for payroll when needed

Maintaining and reconciling fixed asset registers

What we're looking for:

A confident and capable Bookkeeper or Assistant Accountant with previous experience in a similar role

Comfortable working in a construction or project-based environment (preferred but not essential)

Someone who is just as happy doing the basics as they are contributing to month-end and reporting

A reliable and proactive team member who brings accuracy, initiative and a calm approach

What's in it for you:

A secure, permanent opportunity with a growing and respected construction company

A central, well-connected office location

A genuinely supportive and down-to-earth team

Exposure to a broad range of accounting responsibilities, offering plenty of variety

Long-term career potential in a sector with strong future demand

Please note: You must be an Australian citizen or AU/NZ permanent resident with full, unrestricted working rights to be considered.

This role is available for an immediate start and will be filled quickly. If this sounds like you, apply now.
