About the Role

We are seeking an Accounts Team Leader to guide our accounts team while also being directly involved in day-to-day financial operations.

This is not just an oversight role. You will actively manage invoicing, payroll, BAS lodgement, accounts receivable/payable, reconciliations, and month-end reporting, while supporting your team, improving systems, and ensuring accuracy and compliance.

An accounting qualification (completed or close to completion) is highly regarded. The role is well suited to an experienced accounts leader who enjoys being hands-on, or to a qualified or nearly qualified accounting professional looking to step into leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Team Leadership and Hands-On Delivery: Lead the team across invoicing, payroll, BAS lodgements, debt management, and reconciliations while completing key parts of these processes yourself.

• Accounts Operations: Carry out and supervise accounts receivable/payable, copayment processes, issue resolution, reconciliations, and administrative workflows.

• Financial Reporting: Prepare management reports, support month-end close, and provide insights for operational decision-making.

• Compliance: Ensure payroll, superannuation, GST/BAS, and other regulatory requirements are accurate and timely.

• System Integration: Enter, reconcile, and track data across multiple financial systems to maintain accuracy and effective reporting.

• Collaboration: Partner with the CIO to support financial reporting, compliance, and systems development, ensuring finance processes align with broader business operations.

• Team Development: Support, guide, and grow the accounts team, fostering accountability and professional growth.

• Process Improvement: Identify and implement opportunities to refine workflows, internal controls, and business procedures.

• Optional / Nice-to-Have: Lead small projects, implement system improvements, support audit processes, or mentor junior staff.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years’ experience in accounting, bookkeeping, or financial operations, including some leadership or supervisory responsibility.

• Accounting qualification (completed or in final stages of completion) highly regarded.

• Experience with BAS preparation and lodgement, payroll compliance, and month-end reporting.

• Proficiency in accounting software and financial systems, ideally Microsoft 365; experience with MYOB, Xero, or similar is a plus.

• Strong problem-solving and investigative skills, particularly in compliance and system integration.

• Collaborative leadership style with excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities.

• Tagalog language skills highly desirable.

• Military experience is recognised and valued.

• Nice-to-Have Skills: Advanced Excel, Power BI or reporting experience, credit/aged debt management, workflow automation experience, internal audit support, stakeholder management, or project coordination.

Why Work With Us

• Mission-Driven Impact: Contribute to an organisation dedicated to supporting veterans and their families.

• Values-Led Culture: Integrity, resilience, and teamwork guide everything we do.

• Professional Growth: Career development opportunities in a collaborative environment.

• Work-Life Balance: Flexible hybrid model (Tues, Wed, Thurs in-office).

• Innovation: Be part of a forward-thinking team improving financial operations and service delivery.

No remote positions available at this time.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a leadership role while remaining hands-on in financial operations. If you have a strong financial foundation and a passion for leading people, we would love to hear from you.
