About You

To be successful, you will need demonstrated experience in accounts, ideally in a legal or trust related role, with a comprehensive understanding of the Queensland Law Society’s trust account guidelines, or the ability to learn this.

A genuine self-starter, you'll need to be comfortable working autonomously and take real pride in your work, committed to getting things done right, and able to identify ways to improve or streamline processes, with an understanding of best practice. Ideally you will have a strong inclination toward innovation and would enjoy being part of a changing an industry for the better.
