Accounts Receivable Officer

Full Time – Immediate start – Accounts Receivable Officer
Your new company
Join a family-owned business in a strong growth phase. Growth comes with significant change: multiple new systems are being introduced, and some processes are still manual, so you’ll be stepping into an environment where you can make an immediate, measurable impact. The culture is social and team-oriented, with plenty of interaction across the business.

This is a busy, fast-paced workplace. It can be lively (and at times loud), so it will suit someone who stays calm under pressure and enjoys working in an energetic team.

Your new role
This is a hands-on Accounts Receivable position focused on getting the debtor's ledger under control and supporting improved cash collection as the business transitions through new systems and bank requirements.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Managing and cleaning up the debtor’s ledger
  • Proactive debt collection, including follow-up of disputes and missed payments
  • Managing insurance-related accounts (NCI)
  • Supporting the business through system changes and process improvements
  • Preparing AR reporting on incoming cash and collection performance
  • Basic cash flow forecasting (expected receipts this week, next two weeks, etc.)
  • Answering inbound calls and assisting with front reception coverage (phone/door) as required
  • Assisting with general administration and ad-hoc errands when needed

What you need to succeed
This role suits a mid-level AR professional who enjoys being on the tools and can confidently work through a ledger with a high volume of overdue and disputed accounts.

You will bring:
  • Proven Accounts Receivable experience with hands-on collections and follow-ups
  • Confidence dealing with problem accounts, disputes, and persistent debtor contact
  • Experience producing AR reporting and basic cash flow forecasting
  • A practical approach and willingness to work with manual processes while improvements roll out
  • Resilience, strong communication skills, and a team-first mindset
  • SAP Business One exposure preferred, not essential
  • A hands-on attitude

What is on offer?
  • $80,000 + super
  • Temporary to Permanent or straight Permanent
  • Immediate start
  • Full-time hours with some flexibility
  • High-impact role where your work will directly improve cash collection and ledger accuracy
  • The chance to be part of a growing business going through meaningful systems and process improvement

If you’re a practical AR professional who can confidently chase debt, resolve disputes, and help bring structure to a busy ledger, apply now with your CV. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted promptly.
