Bookkeeper

Your Opportunity

This is a newly created Bookkeeper role within a well-established, privately owned construction group that has continued to grow and expand its operations. As the business has scaled, finance has historically been outsourced, however, due to ongoing growth, the group is now bringing bookkeeping in-house to gain greater visibility, control and day-to-day support.

This creates a genuine opportunity to step into a role with end-to-end ownership across multiple entities, rather than a narrow, transactional remit. You will have clear visibility across the business and play a hands-on role in supporting cashflow management, job costing and operational decision-making.

You will work closely with the Directors and a long-standing external accountant (who continues to manage year-end and tax), positioning you as a trusted internal partner as the business continues to evolve.

This is an office-based role with flexibility around start and finish times, parking onsite, and it is suited to someone who values autonomy, accountability and being part of a supportive, people-focused culture.

What You'll Do

You will own the day-to-day bookkeeping and financial operations across multiple construction entities, ensuring accurate records, strong job costing and clear cashflow visibility.

Your responsibilities will include end-to-end bookkeeping using Xero, job costing across labour, materials, subcontractors and overheads, and cashflow forecasting at both project and group level.

You will manage weekly payroll for approximately 50 staff, including STP and superannuation, prepare GST and BAS for review by the external accountant, manage subcontractor payments and compliance, complete bank reconciliations and maintain clean, accurate ledgers.

You will also play a key role in improving reporting, processes and financial controls as the role becomes established.

Who You Are

You are an experienced Bookkeeper/Finance Officer who enjoys ownership, accountability and working closely with business owners in a practical, fast-paced environment.

You are comfortable working autonomously, understand the commercial realities of project-based work, and take pride in maintaining accurate, well-structured financial records.

Proven experience in a building, construction or project-based finance environment is essential for this role.
