Screening questions (please answer as part of application with specific examples from real Australian clients. Include challenges you faced, tools used, exact steps where relevant, and measurable results. Generic answers will not be considered.


1)Describe a specific time you set up, troubleshot, or optimised the EzzyBills integration with MYOB Business (Connected Ledger) for an Australian client. What were the biggest issues. Walk us through the exact steps you took to fix them and the result (e.g., time saved, error rate reduced, or how it affected the client’s cashflow).

(If you haven’t used EzzyBills, describe your experience with a similar automation tool like Hubdoc/Dext and the reconciliation challenges you’ve solved.)

2)Have you worked with Australian hospitality or franchise businesses (restaurants, cafés, takeaways, or similar)? Give one detailed example of how you handled GST on food/supplier invoices, BAS preparation, STP payroll, superannuation, or PAYG for them. Include a specific time you spotted a compliance risk or error and liaised with the client’s accountant or the ATO to resolve it — what was the issue and what was the outcome?


3)Give a concrete example of how you helped a business owner (ideally in hospitality or food service) get better visibility into their numbers. What weekly or monthly reports/dashboards did you build? What key insights did you uncover? What was the measurable result for the owner?


4)Describe a time you proactively identified and fixed a financial or operational issue for a client before it became a crisis. What was the issue, how did you fix it, and what impact did it have?


5)PLEASE confirm you can reliably work ~20 hours/week during Sydney business hours (9 AM–5 PM AEDT).

6)The role includes documenting simple SOPs and helping with local growth (e.g., scheduling approved Facebook group posts on permitted days, researching/reaching out to local schools or businesses for catering, drafting professional emails/follow-ups, or chasing franchise HQ). Describe any relevant experience you have with process documentation or B2B outreach for small businesses. Give one specific example of an outreach or follow-up you handled and the outcome.
