The University of Queensland Union College Core Values:
Integrity | Innovation | Collaboration | Tolerance & Equity | Respect | Responsibility

Union College is evolving, and we’re looking for an Accounts and Payroll Officer who brings warmth, precision, and a love of numbers to our finance team.

This is a role for someone who enjoys the rhythm of reconciliation, the satisfaction of clean data, and the human side of finance. You’ll be part of a small, collaborative team, supporting the day-to-day financial operations of the College while helping ensure our systems run smoothly and our people feel supported.

About the Role:
This is a bookkeeping-focused position with a payroll component. You’ll be responsible for accounts payable, receivables, credit card and bank reconciliations, and assisting with end-of-month processes. You’ll also help process payroll.
You’ll be supporting budget holders with actuals and ensuring financial data is accurate and timely. You’ll also be a friendly face in the office; someone residents and staff feel comfortable approaching.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Process accounts payable and supplier payments with accuracy and compliance.
  • Reconcile bank accounts and credit card facilities.
  • Assist with payroll processing and superannuation payments.
  • Support debtor invoicing and reconciliation.
  • Help prepare financial data for end-of-month reporting.
  • Maintain general ledger coding and assist with journal entries.
  • Provide budget holders with actuals and expenditure updates.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers.
  • Contribute to a warm, welcoming office environment.

About You:
You are:

  • Warm and approachable, with a customer service mindset.
  • Detail-oriented, with strong organisational and time management skills.
  • Confident and dependable, able to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Tech-savvy, with experience in MYOB, Excel, and digital file management.
  • Open to growth, with a willingness to learn and develop within a changing structure.

You’ll need:

  • At least 2 years’ experience in a similar role.
  • A Certificate III in Accounts Administration or equivalent (highly desirable).
  • Experience in payroll and bookkeeping tasks.
  • Strong communication skills - both written and verbal.
  • A current Blue Card (mandatory).
  • Full working rights in Australia.

What You’ll Get:

  • A supportive team and collaborative culture.
  • 1 day per week WFH after onboarding.
  • Daily lunch and car parking space provided.
  • A chance to grow with the College during an exciting period of change.
