Accountant

Accounting & Finance · Perth, WA, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
Care funding brings its own accounting puzzles, and a growing care services organisation in Perth wants an experienced Accountant who enjoys solving them. Receivables sit at the heart of the job, especially NDIS and brokerage accounts, alongside accounting support for the Support at Home team.
A typical month moves from funding claims and reconciliations through to month-end reporting, journals and compliance work such as BAS and GST, with regular contact with operational colleagues to check services and invoices. You will need a careful eye and the confidence to own complex accounts. If you have worked on care or public-sector funding in the UK, make that clear.
On your CV, list the receivables ledgers and systems you have run, your reconciliation and month-end work and where you are with CPA or CA study. Lay out a care-sector accountant CV with Build AI CV so each point is easy to find.
