The Team

In early 2025, A&M Australia opened its Restructuring & Turnaround business offering and we now have a national team of highly skilled professionals situated throughout Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Perth, led by 5 Registered Liquidators. The Treasury staff play a crucial role supporting this team of professionals with a variety of compliance and accounting related tasks.

We are now looking to add a new, qualified bookkeeper to join the Treasury team. This role can be filled on a part-time basis (minimum 3 days/week) or full-time. The Restructuring & Turnaround team can be flexible in this regard to suit the requirements of the successful applicant. This is an office-based role, but you will have the flexibility to work from home in line with A&M policy.

A&M offers a competitive salary and benefits. This role will provide opportunities for professional growth and development, and you get to be part of a dynamic and innovative organization.
