About Austral Solutions

Austral Solutions is a well-established Melbourne-based accounting practice with 30 years of trusted experience providing Tax, Accounting and SMSF services.

As part of our continued growth, we are expanding our marketing reach and developing comprehensive business databases covering selected industries and geographic areas across Melbourne.

We are seeking motivated and detail-oriented individuals to join our Fiji BackOffice team in Lautoka as Market Research & Lead Generation Officers – Business Database.

About the Role

This is an internet research, business database, and lead-generation position.

The successful applicant will research, identify, verify, classify and catalogue prospective Australian businesses within nominated industries and geographic areas.

You will use online research and publicly available business information to build and maintain high-quality, accurate business databases that will support Austral Solutions' marketing and new-client acquisition activities.

This position requires much more than basic data entry. You will need to research information, investigate different sources, cross-check details, make appropriate classifications and maintain a high level of accuracy and consistency.

Key Responsibilities

Your duties will include:

• Research businesses across nominated Western and Eastern Melbourne suburbs, working systematically industry by industry and suburb by suburb.

• Identify businesses that meet Austral Solutions' target-market criteria.

• Correctly classify businesses by industry and business type/category.

• Find and verify information including:

  • Business name and trading name

  • Street/postal address

  • Suburb and postcode

  • Telephone and mobile numbers

  • Email address

  • Website

  • Owner, director or relevant contact person, where publicly available

  • Business entity/company name and ABN, where available

• Research information using multiple reliable online and publicly available business sources.

• Cross-check information to ensure that database records are accurate and current.

• Identify and exclude businesses that do not meet the project's inclusion criteria.

• Check for duplicate businesses before adding new records.

• Enter and maintain information in structured Microsoft Excel databases using predefined fields, filters and dropdown classifications.

• Maintain consistent formatting and high standards of data quality.

• Work progressively towards project targets of up to 1,000 quality businesses per industry, where sufficient qualifying businesses are available.

• Provide progress updates and work towards agreed daily and weekly project targets.

Skills & Qualifications Required

We are looking for candidates who have:

• Excellent internet research and investigative skills.

• Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.

• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, including data entry, filters, sorting and dropdown lists.

• Ability to find, verify and cross-check business information from multiple online sources.

• Good written English and communication skills.

• Strong organisational and time-management skills.

• Ability to follow detailed procedures and maintain consistent database standards.

• Ability to work independently with limited supervision and meet deadlines.

• A methodical, patient and systematic approach to research.

• Good problem-solving skills and initiative when information is difficult to locate.

• Ability and willingness to learn Australian business terminology, suburbs, postcodes and business structures.

• Reliability, self-motivation and a strong work ethic.

Previous experience in market research, online research, data collection, database management, lead generation, administration or a similar role will be highly regarded, but is not essential for a candidate who demonstrates strong research ability, Excel skills and attention to detail.

A background or qualification in Business, Accounting, Finance, Administration, Information Technology or a related discipline would be advantageous.

Why Join Austral Solutions?

This is an opportunity to:

• Work with a well-established Australian accounting practice with 30 years of experience.

• Become part of our growing Fiji BackOffice team in Lautoka.

• Develop valuable practical skills in market research, business intelligence, lead generation and database management.

• Gain exposure to Australian businesses, industries and business structures.

• Work in a professional, supportive and friendly team environment.

• Play an important role in Austral Solutions' ongoing marketing and business-growth strategy.
