Bookkeeper | Multiple Clients

About us

2609 Consulting is a bookkeeping and business consulting company supporting a diverse range of clients across multiple industries, with a strong focus on subcontractors and the construction industry.

We pride ourselves on building genuine relationships with our clients, understanding their businesses inside and out and delivering accurate, reliable financial support they can count on. We are a close, supportive team who take our work seriously but don't take ourselves too seriously.

About the role

This role is all about variety. One day you're across job costing for a construction client, the next you're reconciling accounts for a retail business, then helping a client who does things completely their own way. No two clients are the same, and that's the best bit of the job.

You'll be running multiple sets of books at once, so you need to be organised, quick to pick up how each client works, and sharp enough to catch the small stuff before it becomes a problem.

We pride ourselves on making our clients lives easier and being accessible when they need us. If you love helping small business owners this role is for you.

• Keeping multiple sets of financials accurate and up to date

• Based in Canberra, open to remote for the right person
• Real variety in the work, day to day
