Financial Assistant

THE OPPORTUNITY

Henry Carus + Associates is a leading Melbourne personal injury law firm with a reputation for five-star client care and a genuinely supportive team culture. We’re looking for a detail-oriented Finance Assistant to join our Finance and TPD team.

In this hands-on role you’ll keep the financial engine running — managing accounts payable and receivable, reconciling bank accounts, and supporting our legal teams with billing and disbursement reporting. If you’re building a career in finance and want real variety, real responsibility, and a team that’s genuinely in your corner, this is the role for you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Process and reconcile accounts payable and receivable transactions accurately and on time.
• Verify and enter Trust and Business account deposits; process Trust-to-Business payments.
• Prepare lump sum client bills, disbursement lists, and cost outstanding reports.
• Reconcile company bank accounts monthly and assist with GST and EOFY reporting.
• Liaise with the firm’s costing company and support cost consultants with required information.
• Maintain financial records and the Accounts Payable Manual.
• Provide general administrative support to the wider team as required.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Year 12 or equivalent; an accounting or business qualification is a plus — not a must.
• Solid Microsoft Excel and Word skills; experience with accounting software is an advantage.
• High attention to detail and comfort working with numbers day-to-day.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, can-do attitude.
• Discretion when handling confidential client and financial information.
