Experienced Bookkeeper

**Who We are**

Here at STQ Vantage we are in an extraordinary industry where we install and inspect fall protection systems for the construction and facilities maintenance industries. This expands across from small businesses to larger national companies, to whom we provide the same exceptional customer service.

Wrapped within our offer is a team of collaborative, productive and positive individuals, where everyone has different strengths and skills, which combined together makes us a powerful force. Everyone is important and valued, and carries the responsibility to move the company forward.

**Who You Are**

We harness the best talent possible to develop our team and, like our philosophy with our product offering, no one-size-fits-all. Everyone has a unique character. It’s what makes STQ Vantage the special and enjoyable workplace to be. So, whether you spend your spare time bungee jumping or consider reading a fantastic book in the garden it doesn’t matter. What matters is you’re confident and intrinsically comfortable with who you are.

**Can You Identify With These Values?**

**Problem Solver**- When faced with a challenge where you don’t have the immediate answer, do you have the ability to ask great questions and suggest appropriate ideas to develop a well-thought out solution? The bookkeeper work environment frequently has the opportunity to prove your financial and numeracy knowledge and ability. It’s a challenge but enjoyable for those with the skill - it’s what they thrive on

**Detail-Orientated**- Our accounts team plays a key role to ensuring the financial operation of the company is managed to enable strong growth. For STQ Vantage, it’s the attention to detail that sets us apart. After all, isn’t it satisfying when you only need to complete a job once, and it doesn't have to be done again.

**High-Achiever**- We love to excel. We’re not satisfied with good, we want great. Our team constantly strives to improve and better how we work and what we do. Would you be the type who spends extra time adjusting the work you’ve done so that it looks better, is better understood and has no mistakes? It’s because you like to exceed and you want to be the best in your field.

**Can You Describe Yourself As**
- someone with steel-plated values which play a part in both your private and working life?
- someone with a clear vision of what you want from life and have set out to achieve just that, no matter how humble or grand?
- someone who approaches a knotty problem or life hiccup with a solution-driven approach and a positive can-do attitude?
- someone who is more interested in striving to create a harmonious symphony than blowing your own trumpet?
- someone with enough humility to listen to others, to recognise and applaud their strengths and achievements and a willingness to embrace the ethos of winning or losing as a team?
- someone with the courage to hold your hands up if you make a mistake?

If so, you may be a great fit for our team. Read on.
