[Hiring] Accounts Officer @People Partners

Role Description

We’re looking for an Accounts Officer (AP & AR) to support one of our Australian clients in a fully remote role. This is a hands-on finance position covering both accounts payable and accounts receivable. One minute, you could be checking the GST coding on a supplier invoice. The next, you’re investigating a part payment, completing a reconciliation, or helping resolve a customer query.

There’s variety, but there’s also structure. Accuracy matters. Deadlines matter. And when something doesn’t add up, you investigate rather than assume. And yes, there will be spreadsheets.

  • Process and reconcile staff expenses and corporate cards.
  • Assist with audit requests and supporting documentation.
  • Maintain accurate and organized finance records.

  • Escalate discrepancies and issues promptly.
  • Identify opportunities to improve repetitive or manual processes.
