What we’re about

At JFK Custom Homes, we’re not just building houses — we’re crafting homes that reflect the dreams, lifestyles, and expectations of our clients. Known for our attention to detail and commitment to excellence, we’ve earned a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, architecturally driven builds across Perth.

Founded in 2009 by John F. Kelly, we’ve grown into one of Western Australia’s most respected boutique builders. We take on a select number of projects each year, which allows us to provide a truly personalised experience for every client — something we’re really proud of.

When you join JFK, you’re not just filling a role. You’re becoming part of a team that values precision, integrity, and genuine collaboration. We work hard, support each other, and take pride in doing things properly — every time.

What you’ll be doing

This is an established part-time role that’s been restructured to focus more fully on accounts. You’ll be stepping into a well-set-up position, taking over from a team member who’s helped shape strong processes — and now we’re looking for someone with solid experience to carry it forward confidently.

Reporting to the Operations Manager, you’ll also work closely with our external accountant and bookkeeper (who handle BAS, tax, and payroll). You’ll be responsible for the hands-on, day-to-day accounts work, with support where needed.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Accounts Payable

Processing incoming invoices — entering into the system, coding to the correct job or cost category, and preparing for approval

Following internal approval processes to ensure invoices are paid on time

Reconciling supplier statements and following up on discrepancies

Accounts Receivable

Preparing and submitting client progress claims during construction

Monitoring outstanding claims and maintaining clear records

Bank Reconciliation

Entering and allocating transactions

Assisting with monthly reconciliation processes and supporting external accountants with reports and documentation

General Accounts Support

Maintaining accurate and up-to-date financial records

Liaising with external bookkeeper/accountant as needed

Supporting the broader team with occasional ad-hoc finance admin tasks

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone with solid accounts experience and a natural eye for detail — someone who’s methodical, organised, and enjoys working with numbers. You don’t need to be a qualified accountant, but we’re after more than just data entry skills.

You’ll be a great fit if you:

Have experience in accounts payable and receivable, ideally in a small business environment

Are confident using Xero (or similar accounting software)

Can work independently, manage your own time, and meet deadlines

Are highly organised, accurate, and take pride in your work

Communicate clearly and work well as part of a close-knit team

What you’ll need

2+ years of experience in a similar accounts role

Familiarity with invoicing, claims, and reconciliation processes

Strong data accuracy and recordkeeping skills

A proactive mindset and the confidence to own your responsibilities

It’s a bonus if you also have:

Experience working alongside external accountants or bookkeepers

Knowledge of job costing or construction claims (helpful, but not essential)

The details

Hours: 18–25 hours/week — we’re open to working around your schedule, and happy to discuss what works best

Rate: $35–$40/hour depending on experience

Location: Rivervale/Belmont

Start: We’re ready when you are — ideally someone who can hit the ground running

Why JFK?

We’re a small, supportive team that genuinely enjoys working together. We take our work seriously — but not ourselves. We’re big on respect, collaboration, and doing things the right way, without the red tape or ego.

Some perks you might like:

Beautiful new office in Rivervale/Belmont (just 800m from Belmont Forum)

On-site parking

Weekly pay cycle

Flexibility when you need it — we’re people too
