CDC Canberra, based out of our Queanbeyan Depot, is looking for a Finance Officer to join our Regional NSW Finance team. Reporting to the Finance Manager, this is a full-time position working standard Monday to Friday office hours. Working closely with both the Finance Manager and Accounts Payable Officer and a wider team you'll be involved in a broad range of finance activities across accounts receivable, accounts payable, month-end processing and financial reporting support. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build on their accounting experience and gain exposure to the wider finance function, rather than focusing solely on transactional processing.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Managing accounts receivable from invoicing through to payment collection
  • Supporting accounts payable function as required
  • Preparing reconciliations across banks, cash and general ledger accounts
  • Assisting with month-end activities including journals, accruals and prepayments
  • Supporting budgeting, reporting and audit requirements
  • Working with stakeholders across the business to resolve finance-related queries
  • Identifying opportunities to improve processes and reporting

About You

Ideally, you’ll have previous experience in a Finance Officer, Assistant Accountant, AP/AR or similar accounting role. You’ll also bring:

  • Accounting or Commerce qualifications (or be working towards completion)
  • CPA or CA studies commenced or planned
  • Strong reconciliation and problem-solving skills
  • High attention to detail and accuracy
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines
  • A proactive approach and willingness to learn

Why Join Us?

This role offers exposure beyond traditional AP and AR functions, giving you the opportunity to develop your accounting, reporting and month-end experience while working within a supportive finance team.
