Accountant | Not-for-Profit | $100k + Super

Brisbane | Permanent

We are partnering with a well-established organisation in the not-for-profit sector to recruit an experienced Accountant to join its finance team.

Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, this is a broad, hands-on accounting role suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership of their work and can be relied upon to keep things moving during busy reporting periods.

You’ll work closely with the FC across month-end, financial reporting, reconciliations and general accounting activities, while also becoming a trusted point of support across the broader finance function.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

Supporting the Financial Controller with month-end and year-end reporting

Preparing balance sheet reconciliations and maintaining the general ledger

Preparing journals, accruals and prepayments

Assisting with management and financial reporting

Supporting budgeting and forecasting activities

Reviewing financial information and investigating variances

Assisting with audit requirements and statutory reporting

Supporting cash flow and broader finance activities where required

Ensuring accounting processes, controls and reporting deadlines are maintained

Providing additional support to the FC during periods of increased workload or leave

Identifying opportunities to improve existing finance processes

About You

We’re looking for someone who is technically capable, dependable and comfortable operating with a reasonable level of autonomy.

Ideally, you will have:

Previous experience in a broad Accountant or Senior Accountant position

Strong month-end and financial accounting experience

Excellent balance sheet reconciliation and general ledger skills

Confidence working directly with a Financial Controller or senior finance leader

The ability to manage competing deadlines and remain calm during busy periods

Strong attention to detail

Good communication skills and a collaborative working style

CA/CPA qualification or progress toward qualification will be highly regarded

Previous not-for-profit experience is advantageous but not essential

Most importantly, you’ll be someone the Financial Controller can trust to take ownership, work through problems and help keep the finance function running effectively when things get busy.

What’s On Offer

$100,000 + superannuation

Permanent opportunity within an established not-for-profit organisation

Direct exposure to and mentoring from an experienced Financial Controller

Broad accounting responsibilities rather than a narrow transactional position

Opportunity to build strong commercial and financial accounting experience

Supportive and purpose-driven working environment

This would suit an Accountant looking for a role where they can take genuine ownership, work closely with senior finance leadership and become an important part of a stable finance team.
