Job description

Payroll & Accounts Officer | Permanent | Brisbane Southside

Charterhouse is partnering with a well-established organisation based in Brisbane’s southside to recruit a Payroll & Accounts Officer to join their finance team. This is a hands-on, varied role supporting the Financial Controller and playing an important part in ensuring accurate payroll processing and day-to-day accounting support.

This position will suit someone who enjoys working in a collaborative environment, has strong attention to detail, and is confident managing both payroll and general finance responsibilities.

The Payroll & Accounts Officer will be responsible for the accurate and timely end-to-end processing of payroll, as well as providing broad accounting and administrative support to the finance function. Acting as the key contact for payroll queries, you will work closely with internal stakeholders and external providers to ensure all payroll, superannuation, and compliance obligations are met.

Key responsibilities include:

End-to-end processing, reconciliation, and maintenance of fortnightly and monthly payroll cycles
Maintaining accurate employee records, including leave, entitlements, and payroll data
Managing onboarding, changes, and termination processes
Responding to payroll, superannuation, and leave-related queries
Processing employee expenses and reimbursements
Supporting Single Touch Payroll reporting and year-end reconciliations
Managing superannuation payments and compliance requirements
Assisting with recruitment cost tracking and reporting
Supporting general accounting functions, including bank reconciliations, payment runs, and credit card processing
Providing accounts payable support when required
Assisting with subcontractor onboarding and broader finance administration tasks

You will bring proven experience in end to end payroll and accounting support, ideally within a fast-paced or project-driven environment. Exposure to awards-based payroll will be highly regarded.

You will also have:

Relevant accounting or payroll qualifications, or equivalent experience
Strong understanding of payroll processes, legislation, and compliance requirements
Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage across all levels of the business
Strong Microsoft Office skills and confidence using finance and payroll systems
High attention to detail and strong organisational ability
A proactive, team-oriented approach with a willingness to support broader finance operations

This is a great opportunity to join a supportive finance team where you will gain exposure across both payroll and accounts, working closely with senior finance leadership in a stable and growing organisation.
