The Role

As our Finance & Compliance Officer, you’ll manage our day-to-day financial operations, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and confidence in our numbers. You’ll work closely with our leadership team and external finance partners, acting as the go-to person for payroll, BAS, invoicing, and reporting.

We’re a small, agile team based in Melbourne CBD where no two days look the same and where your attention to detail and initiative will make a visible difference.

What You’ll Be Doing

Processing payroll for employees and contractors with accuracy and care

Managing contractor onboarding, documentation, and invoicing

Lodging BAS and supporting ATO compliance (GST, PAYG, FBT etc.)

Maintaining financial records in Xero and reporting dashboards (e.g. Karmly)

Monitoring cash flow, margins and profitability across our business

Liaising with our accountant and finance consultant for reporting and tax

Ensuring insurance, governance and compliance frameworks are kept current

Spotting and flagging financial or compliance risks early

What Success Looks Like

Everything adds up
You love a tidy ledger and a clean reconciliation and you make it happen without fuss.

Compliance is seamless
From payroll and super to insurance and BAS, nothing gets missed.

Insight drives decisions
Your reporting helps us understand our business and make confident moves.

You’re one step ahead
You flag issues before they land and improve systems before we ask.

What You Bring

Solid experience in a finance, bookkeeping or compliance role

A strong working knowledge of Xero (and ideally, Karmly or similar tools)

Understanding of payroll, BAS, super, FBT and contractor arrangements

Great communication skills - you can explain finance clearly, even to non-finance people

A curious mind, collaborative approach and genuine pride in getting things right

Bonus if you’ve worked in labour hire, recruitment, or a similar small business.
