We're an established Adelaide fire protection business that has looked after commercial buildings for more than 20 years. Most of our team are technicians out on site, backed by a small office team that keeps everything running. We're growing, and we're rebuilding a lot of how we work behind the scenes. Our long-serving bookkeeper is retiring, so this is a genuine handover into a role that matters.
The role
- You'll run the books day to day and help us redesign how they're kept.
- Invoicing: raising invoices in Uptick, our job management system, so completed work gets billed accurately and on time.
- Accounts receivable: chasing overdue accounts and keeping debtors under control.
- Accounts payable: supplier bills, payment runs and statement reconciliations.
- Payroll: fortnightly pays, super, leave and accurate employee records.
- BAS and IAS preparation, bank reconciliations, journals and month end.
- Working with our external accountant on lodgements and year end.
- Being part of the office team: answering phones, handling emails and pitching in when it's busy.
- Working with the CEO and team to fix our processes. Too much is still done by hand, and we want it simpler, quicker and better controlled.
About you
- Senior bookkeeping experience across the full cycle: invoicing, AR, AP, payroll, BAS/IAS, journals and reconciliations.
- MYOB experience. We'll train you in Uptick.
- Confident with payroll, super and leave.
- Accurate, organised and calm when things pile up.
- Good with people. You can chase an overdue account firmly and still keep the client onside.
- A sense of humour. It's a busy office and we like to have a laugh.
- You ask why something is done a certain way, and you come back with a better way.
- You already use AI tools like Claude, or you're keen to learn. We use them to cut out manual work and solve problems, and we want someone who'll push that further.
- Trade, construction or field services experience helps but isn't essential.
- Bonus points if you're interested in using or learning CFO-level thinking: looking past the transactions to cash flow, margins and what the numbers mean for the business.
- If you're returning to work after time away and want a role with substance that fits around the rest of your life, this could suit you well.
What we offer
- 20-25 hours a week, spread over 4-5 days. School hours suit the role well, and we'll agree the exact pattern with you.
- Room to move to full time as the business grows.
- Full training in Uptick.
- A real say in how our finance function gets built.
- An office in Adelaide's inner western suburbs.
