GG leather is on the search for an Assistant Accountant to help maintain an environment of strong financial controls, utilise technology to streamline processes and are excited to take on the challenge of helping this business through a period of rapid growth. We’ve recently raised capital from Australian and US growth equity investors and upgraded our business system to Netsuite. If you’re looking for a company where the work you do has an impact and you can work along-side a team of smart people with good intentions who get sh*t done, please read on…
As GG leather’s Assistant Accountant you’ll be in charge of preparing international sales tax schedules, liaising with our suppliers, keeping our accounts receivables in control and preparing balance sheet reconciliations. You’ll also have plenty of new challenges to tackle and will have the opportunity to solve problems that you may have never faced before. You’re open to researching and trying something new, whether it is finding a way to automate processes or improving some reporting features in our new ERP system Netsuite to make sure it is working in the way it should be and to its fullest potential.
At GG leather we work with a growth mindset - we’re always experimenting, iterating and shifting in search of better ways to achieve our goals. Bring us your accuracy, problem solving mind, and a solid foundation of finance knowledge; in return we’ll offer a world-class team to learn from, the tools to do your thing and support towards professional CPA/CA membership.

To think really well our brains needs rest and focus. In balancing our time, energy and attention, we rejuvenate with power naps, mindfulness or even a quick planking challenge.
Work and play matters. It keeps us balanced. So we’re always mixing it up. If there’s family commitments, hours are flexible. If the surf’s pumping, we grab our boards. And while at the office, we have monthly learning events to keep minds melding.
We want the world to be a better place because of GG leather. Our giving program matches donations our team contributes to charities like The Centre for Effective Altruism, or those recommended by GiveWell. On top of that, we also donate a portion of revenue to effective charities.
Our search for radical effectiveness constantly leads to better ways to get things done. To help fuel that growth, we offer tools like Blinkist subscriptions, a digital learning library, workshops and more. Ask our Flourishing Team where to start, and see how deep the wormhole goes.
'GG leather' is a fusion of our two homes – Bells Beach and Fitzroy. Bells Beach brings a relaxed, outdoor vibe to balance Fitzroy's creative, urban style. The city and the sea; inspiration and adventure. Together they provide a perfect balance.
Our beach HQ sits behind giant sandstone cliffs that overlook one of Australia’s best-known surfing coastlines. It’s where our Product Designers experiment in the Maker Lab, and our Sales team consume awesome amounts of espresso and Skype bandwidth. Things are more tranquil here than our Fitzroy neighbours and we like the focus that can create. There’s a cafe right next door if you need a quick bite and our 11am surf check always provides the perfect chance to reset the mind with some salt air.
Our Fitzroy space is immersed in the middle of Melbourne’s creative hub. It’s where our Creative, Marketing, Engineering and Operations teams develop campaigns and ensure each GG leather is sent safely across the world. Walk out the door and you’ll find streets bursting with energy (and the best ramen joint this side of Tokyo). There’s also an olympic-size pool just around the corner for those in need of a lunchtime refresh.
Outside of our two main headquarters we have a team that works remotely - from Western Australia to parts of Asia, the USA and Europe. Being global is at the heart of GG leather, it keeps us connected, and makes sure we see life from many different perspectives. If you have an internet connection and the flexibility to become part of a team you don’t see everyday, you might consider joining our growing global network.
It takes a diverse crew to make GG leather tick. We’re a collection of thinkers and makers, coming from over 25 different countries (and counting). Everyone has a unique set of skills, which all blend to achieve a clear vision – Inspire better ways to carry; use business as a force for good; help the world, and our crew, flourish.
