About the Company

Our client is seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Office Administrator to join their team. As a key member of their chartered accounting practice, you will play a vital role in task management, meeting deadlines, payroll processing, and overall office administration.

About the role

This is a permanent position with confirmed hours between 25–32 per week, with the possibility of full-time hours for the right candidate. You’ll need to be in their Dixon Street office from 9 AM – 12 PM, Monday to Friday, as this is their busiest period. Outside of these core hours, you’ll have flexibility in how you structure the rest of your workweek.

They’re looking for a focused, detail-oriented professional who can hit the ground running with the following key responsibilities:

  • Task & Workflow Management – Oversee workflow and deadlines to ensure seamless office operations.
  • Payroll Processing – Handle payroll efficiently and accurately.
  • Compliance & Reporting – File returns, maintain data integrity, and manage reports in Xero.
  • Database Maintenance – Keep client records and databases up to date.
  • Client Scheduling & Accounts Finalisation – Prepare and send scheduling and finalisation documents for annual accounts.
  • Front Office & Communications – Manage incoming calls, emails, filing systems, and general inquiries.
  • Team Support – Provide administrative support to the office manager, bookkeeping team, and wider business.


What you will bring

  • To be considered for this role, you’ll need at least 2–3 years of experience in an administrative role, ideally within a professional services environment. Payroll experience is preferred, and experience with workflow management and task tracking will be highly valued.
  • Familiarity with with Xero, XPM, and FuseWorks would be ideal, but this isn’t essential. You’ll need strong organisational skills, the ability to manage tasks and meet deadlines efficiently, and a keen eye for detail with proactive problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills are a must, as well as the ability to work autonomously while juggling multiple priorities.


What's in it for you?

This is a great opportunity to join a respected organisation with a professional and collaborative work environment. They focus on precision, efficiency, and accountability. If you’re skilled in organisational management, enjoy working to deadlines, and have a keen eye for payroll accuracy, we’d love to see you apply and become a valued member of their team.
