EDSA Group is an established electrical contracting business based in Tullamarine, working with Tier 1 builders on major projects. We're looking for an experienced Accounts & Payroll Officer to take over our full finance function, working closely with the team to keep invoicing, payroll, and reporting running smoothly.
This is a hands-on, sole-charge role covering the full accounts and payroll cycle, including EBA (Enterprise Bargaining Agreement) award payroll, plus day-to-day invoicing and receipting through SimPro (full training provided if you haven't used it before).
What you'll be doing
- End-to-end payroll processing, including EBA award rates, STP, superannuation and PAYG compliance
- Accounts payable and receivable through SimPro, including AR/AP ageing and cash flow reporting
- Bank reconciliations and month-end reporting in Xero
- Progress claims, RCTI checks and job costing within SimPro
- BAS/IAS preparation, quarterly PAYG lodgements, and liaising with our external accountant on tax matters
- Intercompany billing and reconciliation between related business entities
- Employee lifecycle administration — onboarding, CoInvest, Protect, WorkCover and leave records
- General finance and office administration using Microsoft 365 (Excel, Word, Outlook)
- Light office coordination and administrative support — supplies, deliveries, uniforms, forms, and general admin as needed
What we're looking for
- 5+ years' experience in a similar accounts/payroll role, ideally within construction, electrical contracting or a trades-based business
- Strong working knowledge of Xero (essential)
- Experience with EBA/award-based payroll highly regarded
- SimPro experience is a bonus but not required — full training provided
- Confident with Excel and the Microsoft 365 suite
- Solid understanding of payroll compliance (STP, super, PAYG)
- Comfortable managing multiple payment platforms and cash flow reporting
- Able to work autonomously and hit the ground running
- Happy to pitch in on general office tasks as part of a small, hands-on team
Join a stable, established electrical contracting business in Tullamarine with strong Tier 1 builder relationships, a supportive team, and a role where you'll own the finance function end to end.
Immediate start available - we have a defined handover period with the outgoing team member to ensure a smooth transition.
