Location:
Ascot, QLD
At BRC, we’re a team driven by passion, history, and a forward-thinking mindset. We believe in continuous improvement and providing our employees with a chance to learn, grow, and develop. In this role, you'll be at the heart of our finance department, ensuring smooth and accurate payments to our suppliers and vendors, which helps keep everything running seamlessly. While there’s a good amount of manual work and data entry involved, we truly value your insights on how we can improve processes to make things better and more efficient.
What’s Involved:
- Data Entry with Impact: You’ll handle the critical task of entering financial data into our system (EBMS) with precision and consistency, making sure our accounts payable records are spot-on.
- Reconciliation & Problem-Solving: Reconcile creditor statements, identify discrepancies, and work closely with internal and external stakeholders to resolve them. We trust you’ll pick up the phone, build relationships, and tackle any issues head-on.
- Manual Work with a Purpose: While there is a manual component to this role (yes, the invoices and purchase orders need your attention), we see it as an opportunity to improve processes and bring new ideas to the table. We’re all about making things more efficient and would love your input on how to do that.
- Working Closely with Finance: You’ll collaborate with the Finance Manager, contributing to month-end reporting and helping ensure financial records are accurate and timely. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from experienced professionals and get exposure to the inner workings of financial management.
- Proactive Communication: Whether it’s liaising with creditors or communicating within the team, we need someone who is not afraid to pick up the phone and have the right conversations to keep everything on track.
We’re Looking For:
- Attention to Detail: You’ve got a sharp eye and will spot discrepancies or errors that others might miss. You know that accuracy is key in finance.
- Experience: If you’ve worked in a high-volume accounts environment (especially within corporate, not-for-profit, or events management sectors), that’s a bonus!
- A Problem Solver: You’ll have a knack for tackling issues head-on and resolving them in a calm, effective manner.
- A Team Player: While you’ll handle individual tasks, you’ll also work closely with the Finance Manager and other departments, helping to create a smooth flow of communication and work.
- Proactive Communicator: We need someone who doesn’t shy away from reaching out to resolve queries, whether internal or external.
- Tech-Savvy: You’ll be comfortable using software like Word, Excel, Adobe, and Outlook. Experience with financial systems like EBMS is a plus!
- Payroll Experience (Beneficial, but not Essential): Any experience with payroll processes is a benefit, but it’s not a must for this role.
What’s In It for You?
- Continuous Growth: This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from the best and develop your career in finance.
- A Great Team Environment: You’ll be surrounded by passionate professionals who are eager to collaborate and support each other in achieving great results.
- Exposure to the Bigger Picture: You’ll work closely with the Finance Manager and gain invaluable insight into the broader operations of the Brisbane Racing Club.
- Employee Discounts and Perks: Benefit from exclusive discounts on events, dining, and other facilities at the Brisbane Racing Club.
