**ROLE OVERVIEW**

The company is looking for an experienced and highly reliable Bookkeeper to support their growing portfolio of Australian small business clients.

-   Process payroll for clients as required (highly valued)
-   Maintain accurate financial records across cloud-based accounting systems — Xero, MYOB, and/or QuickBooks Online
-   Ensure all transactions are correctly coded, categorised, and reconciled
-   Prepare and support monthly financial reporting for internal review
-   Liaise with the internal team promptly when clarification is needed on client transactions or records
-   Maintain clean, organised, and audit-ready books across all client files at all times
-   Proactively flag issues, discrepancies, or delays without waiting to be chased
