Melbourne VIC

Bookkeeping & Small Practice Accounting (Accounting)

Full time

Do you love bookkeeping and understand the important role it plays in helping small and medium business owners succeed?

Are you experienced in managing the bookkeeping requirements of multiple clients and confident using Karbon to organise workflows, deadlines and recurring work?

If you have worked within a bookkeeping firm or outsourced bookkeeping practice and enjoy combining great client service with best-in-class systems, we would love to hear from you.

The role of Senior Bookkeeper at PBS

As a Senior Bookkeeper at PBS, you will take responsibility for delivering high-quality bookkeeping, payroll and compliance services across a portfolio of clients.

You will work closely with clients and the broader PBS team to resolve complex bookkeeping matters, maintain accurate financial records and ensure client work is completed correctly and on time.

This is a senior technical and client-facing position. It does not involve managing team members.

The essence of the role is simple –

Deliver full-function bookkeeping, payroll processing and compliance

Manage the bookkeeping requirements of multiple clients

Build trusted and professional client relationships

Use Karbon to manage workflows, tasks and deadlines

Leverage systems and technology to deliver efficient, accurate work
