This role combines Australian bookkeeping and tax expertise with automation, CRM management (GoHighLevel), and AI-driven workflows.

- Ensure accuracy and compliance with Australian tax requirements
- Build and manage pipelines, workflows, and automations
- Maintain and optimize contact records, tagging, and follow-ups
- Troubleshoot and improve CRM systems independently
- Track client onboarding, progress, and outstanding requirements
- Maintain accurate records and proactively flag issues
- Ensure smooth day-to-day operational flow
- Leverage AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to streamline workflows
- Implement automation tools (Zapier, Make) to reduce manual tasks
- Develop and maintain SOPs, trackers, and documentation
- Assist with scheduling, reporting, and ad hoc operational tasks
- Support continuous improvement initiatives across the business
