ABOUT THE COMPANY:
The company is dedicated to doing farming differently, producing eggs with integrity, transparency, and high standards of animal welfare. As we continue to grow, we are focused on maintaining a resilient, efficient, and highly accurate operational backbone.
ROLE OVERVIEW:
The Senior Bookkeeper / Senior Accounts Officer owns the day-to-day financial engine of the company. Reporting directly to the CFO / Head of Finance, this is a hands-on, highly autonomous role responsible for keeping the books immaculate, reconciled, and compliant. You will manage end-to-end accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, bank reconciliations, and statutory reporting—serving as a reliable finance partner to internal teams, customers, suppliers, and growers.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Accounts Receivable: Manage end-to-end AR, allocate customer payments, prepare monthly statements, resolve account queries, track arrears, and handle major account payment claims (e.g., Woolworths) and associated reconciliations.
- Accounts Payable & Grower Payments: Process supplier bills via Hubdoc and Xero, prepare monthly egg-grading invoices for growers, execute weekly payment runs, and maintain precise supplier records.
- End-to-End Payroll: Independently process fortnightly/monthly payroll, manage lifecycle changes (onboarding, offboarding, reimbursements), process superannuation, allocate P&L payroll journals, complete STP annual finalisations, and coordinate WorkCover renewals.
- Reconciliations & Month-End: Perform routine bank reconciliations, investigate misallocations or unusual transactions, liaise with internal stakeholders for documentation, and prepare clean accounts for month-end.
- Statutory Compliance: Prepare and lodge quarterly BAS, monthly IAS, and state payroll tax reporting on time while maintaining thorough audit-ready records.
Requirements
- Proven Experience: Extensive background as a Senior Bookkeeper, Senior Accounts Officer, or Accounts All-Rounder, with demonstrated autonomy in managing end-to-end bookkeeping.
- Core Systems Mastery: Strong practical working knowledge of Xero; proficiency with Hubdoc is highly regarded.
- Compliance Expertise: Sound understanding of GST, BAS, IAS, PAYG withholding, state payroll tax, superannuation, and Single Touch Payroll (STP).
- Reconciliation & Detail Focus: Superior analytical and investigative skills to track down discrepancies, maintain high-volume AR/AP accuracy, and resolve complex account queries.
PREFERRED:
- Prior experience managing high-volume retail or wholesale customer accounts, payment claims, and grower/supplier dynamics.
- Formal accounting or bookkeeping qualifications (e.g., Certificate IV / Diploma in Accounting or Bookkeeping) are welcomed, though deep practical capability and ownership are our top priorities.
What You’ll Bring:
- Genuinely Autonomous Ownership: You understand the natural rhythm of a finance calendar, proactively manage recurring deadlines, and do not need hand-holding or reminders.
- Proactive Problem-Solving: A naturally curious, methodical mindset—when an account does not balance, you take the initiative to dig in, find the root cause, and resolve it.
- Clear Communication & Stakeholder Management: Confidence and professionalism when liaising directly with colleagues, growers, major vendors, and customers.
