Start Strong in a Role That Grows With You

Kingsley College is looking for a Junior Accountant to be based in Rockhampton, QLD. Reporting to the Business Manager and Office Manager, this dual role blends accounting responsibilities with general administration, ideal for someone eager to build foundational experience across multiple business functions in an educational setting.

More specifically, your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Managing Xero-based accounting functions, including payroll, budgets, reconciliations and coding
• Liaising with parents, staff and vendors on financial matters, including school fees, purchasing and payments
