About BDS

We are a leading disability services provider committed to empowering individuals with disabilities to live their best lives. We're seeking a skilled and experienced Senior Bookkeeper to handle all of our financial processes, ensuring compliance with NDIS funding requirements and maintaining accurate financial records.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Bookkeeper to join our team. Hours can be negotiated as either full-time or part-time, between 3-5 days/week. Key tasks that must be performed at specific times include fortnightly payroll and invoicing plus end of month.
