Office Manager/Senior Bookkeeper

We're looking for an experienced Senior Bookkeeper/Office Manager to run the accounts across the Slate Group of companies. It's hands-on: you'll own the numbers end to end in Xero, work closely with our external accountants and keep the office running smoothly – roughly three-quarters accounts, one-quarter admin.

Key responsibilities

• Run accounts payable and receivable, matching bills to purchase orders so everyone is paid correctly

• Bank, supplier and intercompany reconciliations across multiple entities

• Month-end close and reporting, including job costing, budgets and project reporting

• Monitor cash flow and keep a weekly cash flow forecast

• Payroll, super, BAS and other statutory lodgments, including TPAR

• Progress claims, property settlements and debtor follow-up

• Prepare year-end information for our external accountants

• Keep our payment controls tight and suggest better ways of doing things

• Look after insurances, the vehicle fleet and general office management

• Support both directors with day-to-day admin

About you

• Accounting or bookkeeping qualifications and 5+ years' experience running the full accounts cycle

• Strong Xero skills (bills, POs, tracking/job costing, payroll) and solid Excel

• Experience across multiple entities, including intercompany

• A sharp eye for detail and a controls mindset – you spot the duplicate invoice before it's paid

• Organised, discreet and happy working independently in a small team

• Construction, building or property development experience (progress claims, retentions, job costing) – nice to have

• Registered BAS agent – nice to have

• CA, CPA or ACCA qualified (or working towards it) – nice to have
