We are looking for an experienced Finance Officer. This is a hands-on role with responsibility across accounts receivable, accounts payable, credit control, reconciliations and general finance operations.

Reporting to the Finance and Operations Director, you will play an important role in maintaining accurate financial records, ensuring transactions are processed efficiently and providing reliable financial information to support the business.

• issuing customer statements and resolving account discrepancies;

• processing supplier invoices and managing payment runs;

• reconciling credit cards;

• maintaining accurate customer and supplier master data; and

• preparing balance sheet reconciliation support for debtor and creditor accounts.

What we’re looking for

You are someone who enjoys working with numbers but also understands that a great Finance Officer needs strong relationships, good judgement and a willingness to solve problems.

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

• a Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping, Diploma of Accounting or similar qualification, or equivalent demonstrated experience;

• at least 3 years’ experience in a finance or accounts role, with solid accounts receivable and accounts payable experience;

Why you’ll love working with us 

• Love an early start to the weekend? Our team works slightly longer days Monday to Thursday, wraps up at lunchtime on Fridays, and enjoys the flexibility of working from home on Thursdays and Fridays. 

• Be part of a trusted global business where accuracy, initiative and continuous improvement are valued.

• Enjoy a great workplace culture with an active social club, regular team activities, peer recognition and birthday morning teas.

If you’re looking for a Finance Officer role where you can take ownership of your work, contribute to a supportive team and use your finance experience across a broad range of responsibilities, we’d love to hear from you.
