Accounts Receivable Officer

Accounts Receivable Officer | Finance Administration |
Barangaroo | $70k – $80k + super

We're looking for an Accounts Receivable Officer to join a growing professional services business based in Barangaroo.

This isn't a purely transactional AR role.

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys taking ownership of their accounts, isn't afraid to pick up the phone and can confidently follow up outstanding payments while maintaining strong relationships with clients.

You'll need persistence and resilience. You'll be comfortable asking the difficult questions, holding clients accountable to agreed payment terms and following things through until they're resolved.

At the same time, you'll be joining a friendly, collaborative office, so we're looking for someone approachable, down-to-earth and happy to support the wider finance team when required.

Alongside collections, you'll gain exposure to a broad range of finance administration including invoicing, reconciliations, payment allocation and general finance support.

What you'll be doing

• Take ownership of outstanding debtor accounts and collections
• Proactively follow up overdue invoices by phone and email
• Build relationships with clients and their accounts teams to facilitate payment
• Investigate delayed payments and resolve invoice or account queries
• Send statements, reminders and supporting documentation
• Allocate incoming payments and maintain accurate debtor records
• Assist with bank and account reconciliations
• Support client and contractor invoicing
• Process credit notes and account adjustments where required
• Maintain accurate information across finance and internal systems
• Assist the wider finance team with general finance administration
• Support month-end activities and other finance tasks as required

About you
You may currently be working as an Accounts Receivable Officer, Credit Controller, Finance Officer, Accounts Assistant, Accounts Clerk or Finance Administrator.

More important than your job title is your approach.

You'll ideally bring:

• Previous experience across accounts receivable, credit control or debtor management
• Confidence picking up the phone and having direct conversations about outstanding payments
• The ability to be persistent and assertive without damaging client relationships
• Broader finance administration experience
• Strong attention to detail and confidence working with numbers
• A proactive approach, you follow things through rather than waiting to be asked
• Strong organisation and the ability to manage competing priorities
• A friendly, collaborative personality and willingness to help the wider team
• Experience using Xero or another accounting system would be beneficial
• Strong Excel and general systems skills
• Australian Citizenship or Permanent Residency is required for this position

The environment
This is a fast-paced professional services business with a lively and supportive office culture.

You'll be trusted to manage your responsibilities independently, but you'll also work closely with a team who genuinely support one another.

There's flexibility around start and finish times, modern Barangaroo offices and the opportunity to develop your finance experience as the business continues to grow.

If you're someone who can be friendly with the team, professional with clients and persistent when money is overdue, we'd love to hear from you.
