Job description

(Internal title: Assistant Financial Accountant)

About the role

Join the growing Finance team and take ownership of a high-volume accounts payable function, while building your skills across month-end, fixed assets and reporting for an Australian business. You’ll lead a small team, work directly with our Australian finance leaders, and help shape how the finance function works as the business grows. This is a role for someone who wants more than processing: you’ll spot problems, fix them, and help automate the work along the way.

Team, Reporting and Relationships

You’ll report to the Senior Financial Accountant (Australia) and work closely with:

• The wider Finance team in Australia and the Philippines
• Operational teams and team leaders

• Own the AP function end to end, including:
• Managing the AP inbox and supplier queries
• Running the approval process for 2,000+ bills a month
• Price checking and resolving discrepancies
• Matching bills to the right projects and cost centres
• Monthly AP reporting
• Lead month-end AP close, including reconciliations, investigating and resolving anomalies, and meeting deadlines and quality standards.
• Manage the fixed asset register, including capitalisation and depreciation, reviewing additions and disposals, and supporting asset tracking and reporting.
• Improve how we work. Find gaps in processes and controls, suggest fixes, and help automate regular reports as the business scales.
• Work on projects with senior finance team members, gaining exposure to wider analysis and reporting.
• Build strong relationships with operational teams so reporting is accurate and timely.

Expected Behaviours

We expect that you will:

• Approach your role with enthusiasm and a positive attitude, working the necessary hours to perform your duties effectively and efficiently
• Actively embody and demonstrate Lovelight’s five core values in your daily work, decision-making and interactions with colleagues, suppliers and stakeholders
• Understand and comply with all company policies, procedures, and guidelines designed to support our operations and workplace culture
