Location: Adelaide Western Suburbs
Work Type: Full-Time, Permanent Salary: $75k-$80k + Super (Negotiable based on experience)
The Opportunity
Are you a detail-oriented finance professional who enjoys the pace of a thriving, hands-on industry? Our client, a leading name in the Equipment Hire sector, is looking for a versatile Accounts Officer to join their close-knit team in the Western Suburbs.
This isn’t just a "desk job"—you’ll be a key player in a business that keeps Adelaide’s construction and events industries moving. If you’re looking for a role that offers stability, a down-to-earth culture, and the chance to own the accounts function, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Be Doing
Reporting to the Business Manager, you will manage the day-to-day financial pulse of the branch. Your typical day will include:
...- Accounts Receivable: Managing the end-to-end invoicing process, processing credit applications, and performing friendly but firm debt collection.
- Accounts Payable: Matching purchase orders to supplier invoices, reconciling statements, and preparing payment runs.
- Payroll Support: Processing weekly/fortnightly payroll for a diverse workforce, managing timesheet entries, calculating overtime/allowances, and maintaining leave records.
- Compliance: Assisting with Superannuation payments, WorkCover lodgments, and staying up to date with relevant Award rates.
- Office Coordination: Providing administrative support to the branch manager and ensuring the office runs like a well-oiled machine.
- Office Coordination: Providing comprehensive administrative support to the Branch Manager and ensuring the efficient and smooth operation of the office.
- Fleet & Hire Admin: Assisting with hire contracts, damage waivers, and ensuring accurate billing for equipment usage.
- Bank Reconciliation: Daily balancing of accounts and managing petty cash.
- General Support: Handling phone inquiries and providing administrative backup to the operations team during peak periods.
The "Must-Haves"
To be successful in this role, you’ll need a mix of technical skill and the right attitude:
- Relevant Experience: At least 2–3 years in an Accounts Clerk or Admin role (experience in hire, transport, or construction is a massive plus).
- Software Savvy: Proficiency in Xero, MYOB, or specialized hire software (e.g., Baseplan or Point of Rental). Experience in ERP such as Oracle or SAP is highly regarded
- Communication Skills: The ability to chat with tradies on-site one minute and report to directors the next.
- The "Westie" Spirit: A proactive, no-nonsense approach to problem-solving and a genuine love for a busy work environment.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Stability: A long-term role in an essential industry that is consistently growing.
- Location: Avoid the CBD commute—free on-site parking in the Western Suburbs.
- Team Culture: A supportive, "boots-on-the-ground" environment where your hard work is actually noticed.
- Growth: Opportunity to streamline processes and make the role your own.
