Part Time Finance Officer

Part Time Finance Officer Needed For An Immediate Start Within WA Government

Your new company
An opportunity is available for an experienced Finance Officer to join a WA State Government organisation on a part-time basis for an initial 3-month temporary contract. Working within a busy finance function, you will provide hands-on transactional and operational finance support across areas such as accounts payable and receivable, invoice processing, reconciliations, journals, financial data maintenance and general ledger activities. The role will involve maintaining accurate financial records, investigating discrepancies, responding to finance-related queries and supporting the team with regular reporting and month-end activities. You will work closely with internal stakeholders to ensure financial transactions are processed accurately, efficiently and in line with established policies, procedures and required timeframes.
Previous WA Government or broader public-sector finance experience would be highly regarded, along with experience using TechnologyOne (TechOne); however, both are desirable rather than essential. The priority is someone with solid hands-on finance experience, strong attention to detail and the ability to quickly pick up systems and processes within a government environment.

• Support month-end processing and financial reporting activities.
• Respond to finance-related queries from internal stakeholders and suppliers.
• Maintain accurate financial records in accordance with relevant policies, procedures and financial controls.
• Provide general finance support, including reporting, data analysis and ad hoc financial administration.

What you'll need to succeed

• Previous experience as a Finance Officer, Accounts Officer, Finance Assistant or similar
• Strong transactional finance experience across areas such as AP, AR, reconciliations, journals and invoice processing
• Strong attention to detail and a high level of numerical accuracy
• Good Microsoft Excel skills and confidence working with financial data
• Ability to prioritise competing tasks and meet deadlines
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with internal stakeholders
• Availability to undertake a part-time temporary assignment
• Previous experience within WA State Government, WA Health or another government/public-sector organisation
• Experience using TechnologyOne / TechOne
• Familiarity with government financial processes, policies and procedures

What you'll get in return

• Initial 3-month temporary contract
• Part-time hours, offering flexibility
• Opportunity to gain or build upon WA State Government experience
• Perth-based opportunity
• Immediate/short-notice commencement preferred
