About Our Client
Our client is a fast growing business in the technology and infrastructure space, with large construction projects underway across Australia.

• Managing supplier prepayments and multi currency invoices and payments
• Onboarding suppliers and reviewing employee expense claims
• Owning the AP inbox, working through supplier, procurement and project team queries until they are resolved
• Supporting month end close, including accruals and reconciliations
• Keeping AP processes compliant with internal controls and audit requirements, and suggesting improvements along the way

Requirements

• Solid experience in a high volume Accounts Payable role
• Strong understanding of purchase orders, invoice matching and approval workflows
• Understanding of how AP transactions flow through to the General Ledger, including accruals and month end
• Experience in multi entity and multi currency environments
• CapEx, construction, infrastructure, engineering or data centre experience is highly regarded
• Intercompany experience is a plus
• NetSuite experience is a bonus, and training will be provided on the new procurement system
• Well organised, with strong attention to detail and the confidence to follow up with the business

What's on Offer

• A broad AP role with exposure to large scale construction and capital projects
• A growing business where your input on process and automation will be heard
• A supportive, hands on manager who is investing in better systems
