This role is well-suited for someone adept at managing remote teams and engaging directly with clients.

Responsibilities:

• Manage the bookkeeping team to meet and exceed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
• Deliver accurate client reporting with actionable insights to support profitable business growth.
• Enhance processes for improved work quality, speed, and value addition.

Requirements for Success:

• Demonstrated experience in managing bookkeeping for multiple clients concurrently, ideally within an accounting practice.
• Familiarity with ecommerce clients, including integrations, inventory management, and clearing accounts.
• Proven ability to lead a team, leveraging diverse personalities and skill sets effectively.
• Proficiency with technology and automation, with a preference for process improvement over repetitive manual tasks. Comfort working within various tools and workflow systems.
• Initiative in problem diagnosis and a drive for corrective action.

Perks:

• A share of profits when budget targets are exceeded.
• An additional week of paid leave during Christmas if tax lodgement targets are met.
• An extra public holiday on Melbourne Cup Monday.
• Flexible work policy, with the option to work remotely. Offices are available in Frankston and Moorabbin. Work hours are flexible, with the emphasis on achieving results.
• A forward-thinking firm committed to innovation and improvement, rather than adhering to traditional methods. We develop proprietary tools, critically assess our processes, and support individuals who drive positive change.
• Potential for equity participation in the future for the right candidate.
• This is a long-term opportunity for a senior individual to grow with the firm, which is being built on robust systems and strong personnel. This is considered the most critical role within the business.
