Job description

Richard Lloyd Recruitment – Sydney CBD NSW

AR Officer role combining allocations, reconciliations, and broader finance support

Established global consumer services group with a portfolio of recognised brands

Sydney CBD, six-month contract, $45–48/hr + super

Company Background

Our client is an established global consumer services group with a portfolio of recognised brands and operations across multiple international markets. Following a recent ownership transition, the business is operating in a fast-paced, commercially focused environment. This Sydney CBD opportunity sits within a friendly local finance team and provides exposure beyond traditional accounts receivable.

On offer is:

• Up to three days a week working from home once you are settled and working independently
• A structured handover from the incumbent
• Broader accounting exposure within a close-knit finance team
• Potential for the assignment to extend beyond six months, although this is not guaranteed

The Role

This role will provide maternity leave cover for a dedicated business unit and is not a traditional debt collection-focused AR position. Working within a local team of four AR Officers, you will manage core receivables processes while supporting a range of accounting and reconciliation activities.

Duties will include:

• Managing daily cash allocations and receipting, ensuring incoming payments are accurately matched to the appropriate customer accounts
• Processing customer refunds and preparing journals, with appropriate supporting documentation and approvals
• Completing regular balance sheet and account reconciliations, including AMEX reconciliations, and investigating any discrepancies
• Assisting with BAS preparation by compiling relevant information, reviewing transaction data and supporting the wider finance team
• Providing broader finance support across general ledger reconciliations, month-end activities and ad hoc accounting tasks as required

Your Background

To be successful, you will bring strong accounts receivable experience together with exposure to assistant accounting duties.

You will also have:

• Immediately Available and committed to the full six-month assignment
• Strong accounts receivable experience, particularly allocations and receipting
• Previous exposure to assistant accounting duties and account reconciliations
• The ability to work independently once established in the role
• A collaborative approach and a strong fit with a friendly, lean team environment
• Experience with Oracle, Espace or Concur will be advantageous
