The successful candidate will be fully proficient in core accounting principles (debits/credits, double-entry bookkeeping) and confident in performing routine e-commerce sales reconciliations, inventory-related transactions, journal postings, and international invoicing.

Schedule: Monday to Thursday, 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sydney Time; Part-time, 20 work hours per week

• Maintain accurate, audit-ready financial records and ensure transactions are processed on time.
• Support the existing finance team with general accounting and ad-hoc reconciliation tasks as required.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in an accounting role within a retail, inventory-based, or e-commerce business.
• Proven practical mastery of core accounting principles, including debit/credit mechanics, journal entry preparation, and balance sheet reconciliations.
• Solid experience handling Shopify e-commerce reconciliation (payouts, merchant fees, refunds, sales tax allocations).
• Direct experience with inventory accounting (stock movements, repacks, landed costs, COGS tracking).
• Hands-on proficiency with MYOB Advanced or a similar enterprise ERP system.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel (data manipulation, lookups, pivot tables).
• Strong command of written and verbal English with the ability to articulate accounting workflows clearly.
• Close attention to detail and a high degree of numerical accuracy.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
• Able to follow established processes and execute recurring financial tasks accurately without oversight.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• A technically sound accounting practitioner with genuine, hands-on experience in e-commerce and stock management.
• Detail-oriented and highly organized, with strong analytical skills to catch and reconcile discrepancies.
• Confident working directly with complex retail, inventory, and Shopify sales clearing accounts.
• Technically proficient with ERP software and Excel data processing.
• Reliable and consistent in executing routine financial tasks and monthly schedules.
• Comfortable receiving direction and collaborating closely with an existing Finance Assistant.
• Happy working in an execution-focused accounting capacity and not primarily seeking management or executive progression.
