AddressWhy hello you snazzy future (senior) bookkeeper extraordinaire!
Thanks for taking the time to check out our job ad.
You know what? You might be just the person we are looking for.
Someone that strikes fear into the heart of unreconciled bank accounts. That general expenses have no match for. Spreadsheets quiver at the mention of your name. Someone that can automate the crap out of Xero to drive more time for the 'fun' side of bookkeeping.
We are looking for a person that’s know their debits from their credits, their accounts receivables from their accounts payable, and their PAYGI from their PAYGW.
We have a cracker of an opportunity to hop, skip, and jump into your next journey - working alongside a bunch of passionate people, who genuinely give a rats about their clients. We will be thrilled to have you on the team and give you the best possible place to thrive in this rewarding industry.
But wait, who the hell are we???
We are Illumin8, and we are Accounting for your tomorrow (corny right!?)
At Illumin8, we think outside the box and have a heap of fun along the way. We understand that work is not life and encourage a healthy work-life balance. We embrace technology and run our business 100% from the cloud and help our clients to do the same.
Our clients can be found running some cracker Aussie small businesses in the creative, e-commerce, trades, hopso, alcohol & professional services industries. They are a pleasure to work with (most of the time) and we are sure you will love the direct exposure you get working to support their goals.
You're going to love the focus and empowerment this role offers; we are going to love that you:
- Have out of this world communication skills and are super-efficient at what you do
- Enjoy moving at pace - love getting stuff done fast (and accurately)
- 5+ years required, however if you have more, that's always a bonus.
- Are used to juggling a few different tasks for a few different people at the same time.
- Love working with people and understand how to get the most of out of a team environment
- Are a keen teacher and love to get your hands dirty diving deep into concepts with a developing team
- Love a good to-do list - especially when ticking off within a day happens
- Are great with technology - everything we do here is in the “cloud” which means you will be using multiple pieces of software a day.
- Pride yourself on your kick-ass personality.
We have a great team, and you will be empowered to bring your unique personality, skills and approach to take Illumin8 to new heights! Kate (Head of Bookkeeping - currently on maternity leave), Shane (Head of Ops & taking care of the team in Kate's absence), Andrew (Our Founder & Head of Purpose) & the rest of our leadership team cannot wait to see you kicking goals whilst we tackle our client objectives head on!
On any given day you will find yourself:
- Sprinting through payroll puzzles like a detective on a mission, solving every case with a high-five!
- Having amazing conversations with our clients as you work to ensure our services are delivering on their personal & business goals
- Rocking the bank recs like a DJ mixing beats, syncing every transaction to the rhythm of the accounts.
- Crafting bank payments for our clients with the precision of a master chef, serving up financial feasts.
- Mastering bookkeeping gadgets like Xero, ClickUp, Dext, A2X, and more, like a tech wizard waving a magic wand.
- Coaching our junior squad with the wisdom of a sage, nurturing their skills.
- Designing month-end magic, tailoring processes that fit like a glove, sleek and smooth.
- Jamming with the wider team, collaborating like a band on tour, solving the unsolvable together.
We have a pretty slick working space in Mornington. No matter the space, it’s all about empowering a productive working environment and we’re here to support our team through each step! Whilst the majority or our team are based locally, we have lived the hybrid work environment since inception. For us it’s all about collaborating with amazing people, regardless of where they are located, and providing an environment to be our most productive selves (although the on-site whisky bar, and free gym membership around the corner is a HUGE perk).
Oh, did we also mention that Illumin8 is a fast-growing, award-winning accounting advisory business that has been recognised recently as the Fastest Growing Accounting Firm in Australia, historical Xero VIC Partner of the Year, Top 50 Cloud Accountants in Australia, and even a Top 100 Coolest Companies in Australia nomination. Go on and stalk us on the socials - we love new connections 🙂.
So, hurry up and get in touch with us, we are dying to meet you!
We're ac-counting on you (Yes, amazing if you're a pun master)

- Shoot us through your resume
