Job description

Queensland’s largest independent hotel group is looking for an Accounts Payable Officer to join our Finance team in Townsville.

This is a role suited to someone who enjoys working with people just as much as numbers. Our AP team works closely with venue managers, suppliers, bookkeepers and operational staff across the business, so being approachable, reliable and easy to work with is just as important as experience.

You’ll be joining a close-knit support office environment where the team backs each other, pitches in during busy periods and works together to support over 200 hospitality, retail and accommodation locations across Queensland and South Australia.

With the business continuing to grow, this role will also be involved in helping support the transition to new finance and accounts payable systems, giving exposure to process improvement and change across the wider business.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Coding and processing supplier invoices through our AP platform
• Ensuring invoices are correctly approved and allocated
• Assisting with supplier queries and relationship management
• Processing credit applications and supplier account setups
• Supporting operational teams and bookkeepers with invoice and account queries
• Assisting with the transition to new accounting and AP systems
• Supporting the wider finance team with day-to-day tasks

What We’re Looking For:

• Firstly, someone who communicates well and enjoys working in a team
• Previous accounts payable or bookkeeping experience preferred
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
• A practical and positive attitude
• Ability to manage deadlines in a fast-moving environment
• Hospitality or accommodation industry experience would be highly regarded, but is not essential.

This is a full-time position with an immediate start available.
