Accountant

SUMMARY:
This is not a role for the faint-heated – and that’s exactly why it’s exciting. Our client, a well-established manufacturing business based in the Northern Suburbs, is looking for an exceptionally strong Accountant with an unshakeable backbone, razor-sharp attention to detail, and full ownership of their work. This is a role for someone who takes personal accountability seriously, checks their own work before anyone else needs to, and thrives in an admin-intensive, high-volume finance environment. If you’re the kind of person who lives in the detail, enjoys working with 40-50 suppliers, and can confidently manage 70% Accounts Payable and 30% bookkeeping duties, then this opportunity will speak to you. You’ll need to be organized, assertive when required, and comfortable working in a space where accuracy, discipline, and consistency are non-negotiable.
