Some finance roles are about processing transactions.

This role is about what those transactions make possible.

Our client is a respected faith-based organisation supporting churches, ministries and communities throughout Queensland. Behind that work sits a small finance team responsible for ensuring the financial foundations are strong, accurate and dependable. As Assistant Accountant, you'll play a key role in making that happen.

Payroll sits at the heart of the position.

You'll take responsibility for the end-to-end payroll function, ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time, superannuation obligations are met, and employee exit payments are processed correctly. Your expertise with Xero and confidence in payroll administration will be highly valued from day one.

Beyond payroll, you'll provide broad accounting and bookkeeping support across multiple entities, undertaking bank and general ledger reconciliations, accounts processing, journal entries and month-end activities. While there is variety in the role, this is not a highly technical accounting environment. Instead, it requires someone with a solid bookkeeping foundation, strong attention to detail and the discipline to consistently deliver accurate work.

The structure of the team is one of the role's genuine attractions.

Working within a small finance function, you'll enjoy the opportunity to take ownership of your responsibilities while working closely with colleagues across the organisation.

Support is readily available, but so too is the trust and autonomy to manage your work without unnecessary layers of oversight. It is an environment where people are valued for their contribution, reliability and willingness to support one another.

Just as important as technical capability is cultural fit.

This organisation's Christian ethos shapes the way people work together, make decisions and serve others. The successful candidate will be someone who is comfortable in a faith-based environment and naturally aligns with values of humility, integrity, stewardship and service. You'll appreciate being part of a workplace where purpose extends beyond financial outcomes and where people are motivated by the impact their work has on others.

Initially, the successful candidate will spend time in the office building relationships and becoming familiar with the organisation's systems and processes. As confidence and capability are established, flexibility can be discussed around operational needs and key finance deadlines.

For an experienced payroll and finance professional seeking more than just another accounting role, this is an opportunity to contribute your expertise in an organisation where people, purpose and community genuinely matter.
