Finance Assistant (Fresh Graduates Preferred) - Dayshift Remote

Working Hours & Conditions : AU Working Hours and Holidays

OVERVIEW

We are seeking a remote Finance assistant to support an Australian business. The core requirement for this role is strong Excel ability — you will be working daily with spreadsheets to reconcile accounts, track payments, and maintain accurate records.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Prepare cost code reports in Excel
• Prepare and send Payment Schedules to suppliers
• Track supplier spend against Purchase Orders, and alert the team when a supplier is going over their approved PO amount
• Maintain accurate reconciliation and account records in Excel daily
• Raise questions or flag discrepancies as they arise, rather than guessing or waiting
• Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills, including:
• Data entry and formatting
• Cell formatting (fonts, borders, colours, number formats)
• Sorting and filtering data
• Basic formulas (SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, MAX)
• Building and maintaining reconciliation reports
• Excellent written and verbal English
• Comfortable working independently and flagging issues or blockers proactively, rather than sitting on them

Note on experience: We are open to recent graduates (accounting, finance, commerce or similar) with strong Excel ability and no bookkeeping experience yet, as well as candidates with existing bookkeeping/accounts experience. Excel skill is the deciding factor, not years on the job.

Highly Regarded (not required)

• Experience bookkeeping for an Australian construction, building, civil, fit-out or trade business
• Experience using MYOB
• Experience using Procore or similar construction management software
