Map the role, deadlines, systems and approval responsibilities.
ASSEMBLY OPERATIONS / FINANCE COVER
Your books do not
go on leave.
Your accountant’s leave is planned. The month-end close, payroll and GST work need a plan too.
Finance cover with a documented handover before leave and a clear handback when your colleague returns. Delivered by Assembly Operations.

- Start the handover
- 5 Oct 2026
- Return · 16-week scenario
- 22 Feb 2027
- Return · 26-week scenario
- 3 May 2027
2 calendar quarter ends fall within the 26-week scenario. Your filing deadlines may differ.
Illustrative continuous-leave scenarios, not a determination of entitlement. Shared parental leave is a pool shared between eligible parents; allocation and scheduling vary.
Handover arrangements agreed with you.
Scope agreed around your role.
Contact us to discuss your dates.
THE WORK STILL NEEDS DOING
One absence. A full calendar.
Absorbing the work internally can put pressure on reviews, collections and reporting. Start with the responsibilities and deadlines that cannot wait, then agree the cover needed.
- Full sets of accounts and bookkeeping
- Payment runs and receivables follow-up
- Payroll and CPF work
- GST preparation and filing support
- Monthly management reporting
- Year-end and tax computation support
- Audit queries and supporting schedules
- Process notes and handback records
Plan for the leave actually agreed.
Eligible mothers may receive 16 weeks of Government-Paid Maternity Leave. For eligible births from 1 April 2026, parents share a separate 10-week parental-leave pool. A 26-week absence is one possible planning scenario, not everyone’s entitlement or schedule.
HOW IT WORKS
From handover to handback.
Handover
Document the process with your colleague and agree access.
Cover
Carry out the agreed work, with clear reporting and escalation.
Handback
Return the role with documented status, open items and next steps.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few practical questions.
How much notice do you need?
Four weeks gives us time to understand the role, document the process and arrange a handover. If your timeline is shorter, contact us to discuss availability.
Which accounting systems can you work with?
We work with Xero, QuickBooks Online, Excel and Financio. Tell us which systems and integrations your team uses so we can confirm the scope.
Is the cover remote or on site?
We discuss the working arrangement with you. On-site handovers, ongoing delivery and any additional site visits are agreed in the scope.
What if our colleague does not return?
We can discuss extending the cover and a revised scope. Any recruitment support is arranged separately through the relevant licensed entity.
Can you cover a shorter absence?
Tell us the dates, responsibilities and deadlines involved. We will discuss whether the service is a suitable fit and confirm the engagement period with you.
Who delivers the service, and how are responsibilities agreed?
Assembly Operations delivers this service. Access, approvals, responsibilities and liability are set out in the engagement terms before work begins.
