Administration Assistant (12-month contract)

Full-time 12 month fixed term contract.

At Cornerstone Consulting Group, we partner with leading Australian organisations to recruit exceptional talent. We're proud to be recruiting on behalf of Pitcher Partners Adelaide.

At Pitcher Partners Adelaide, we work closely with ambitious individuals and businesses to help them grow with confidence. As a leading mid-tier accounting and advisory firm, we're known for our strong relationships, practical advice and supportive culture.

We are looking for an Administration Assistant to join the firm's Practice Management team in Adelaide's CBD on a 12 month fixed term parental leave cover contract. This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys working across different areas of a business and wants to build a career in professional services.

About the role

Working closely with the Team Assistants, you'll provide administrative and front-of-house support across the firm.

Day to day, you will:

• Provide general administrative support across the firm

• Prepare, format and distribute documents, reports and presentations

• Welcome clients and visitors, answer and direct calls, and provide reception cover

• Coordinate meeting rooms, catering and event logistics

• Manage mail, couriers, office supplies and general office upkeep

• Liaise with suppliers, clients and internal staff

• Assist with staff events, onboarding administration and firm initiatives

Develop your skills

As your skills grow, you'll receive opportunities to take on and learn Team Assistant responsibilities, including diary management, client correspondence, ASIC documentation, BAS lodgement administration and workflow coordination. You'll also have the opportunity to build proficiency in systems such as Xero, Practice Ignition, Now Infinity and FYI Docs.

What success looks like

Success in this role is about more than completing administrative tasks. It's about being a reliable team member who is adaptable, takes initiative and is always willing to help where needed.

You'll quickly become a trusted support person across the firm, working collaboratively with Reception, the Office Manager, Team Assistants and client-facing teams to keep the business running smoothly.

About you

You're organised, adaptable and happy to step in wherever support is needed. You'll bring:

• Experience in administration, reception, customer service or office support

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams and PowerPoint)

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Excellent organisation, time management and attention to detail

• The ability to work independently and as part of a team

Experience in an accounting or professional services environment, exposure to practice management software, or a Certificate III or IV in Business Administration would be a bonus, but none are essential.

Why Pitcher Partners

You'll be joining a firm that genuinely values its people, with training and development that is ongoing, practical and tailored. Additional benefits include:

• Ongoing professional development and mentoring

• A national firm with offices across Australia

• Professional and welcoming culture with an active social club

• Birthday leave

• Employee Assistance Program
