Job description

• Own the day-to-day AP & AR function within a growing construction business
• Fortitude Valley location | Established team | Permanent opportunity
• MYOB or Jobpac experience advantageous, but not essential

An established and growing Brisbane construction business is looking for an Accounts Officer to join its finance team based in Fortitude Valley.

This is a hands-on role covering both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership of their work and wants to become an important part of a busy, project-driven business.

You’ll also work closely with an existing offshore accounts assistant, so we’re looking for someone who has enough experience to coordinate workload, delegate tasks and ensure the day-to-day accounts function stays on track.

You don’t need to be a qualified Accountant. We’re looking for someone with a good grounding in transactional finance who is organised, accurate and confident working autonomously.

The Role

• Managing day-to-day Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable
• Processing supplier and subcontractor invoices
• Raising invoices and maintaining accurate customer accounts
• Managing debtor follow-up and outstanding accounts
• Reconciling supplier statements and resolving discrepancies
• Assisting with bank and account reconciliations
• Liaising with suppliers, subcontractors and internal project teams
• Responding to account and payment queries
• Coordinating workload with an offshore accounts assistant
• Reviewing and following up outstanding finance tasks
• Maintaining accurate financial records and supporting documentation
• Assisting with general finance administration and reporting
• Providing broader support to the finance team as required

About You

• Previous experience as an Accounts Officer, Finance Officer, Accounts Administrator, AP Officer, AR Officer or similar
• Practical experience across Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable
• Strong reconciliation and problem-solving skills
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
• Confidence dealing with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• The ability to prioritise and manage a busy workload
• A proactive approach and willingness to take ownership
• Some experience coordinating, delegating or reviewing the work of others
• Strong general systems and computer skills

Experience within construction, property, development, engineering or another project-based environment would be highly regarded.

Previous exposure to MYOB and/or Jobpac would also be advantageous, although this isn't essential for the right person.

The Opportunity

This is more than a transactional processing role.

The business wants someone who can become a trusted member of its finance function, take responsibility for their workload and help keep the accounts process running efficiently.

You’ll be joining an established construction business with a strong pipeline of work and the opportunity to broaden your responsibilities as you develop within the position.

Salary Is Negotiable Depending On Experience.
