Accounts Assistant – AR & Collections Focus
Mascot | Hybrid Working + Temp2perm! | Immediate Start
We’re partnering with a well-established national business to recruit an Accounts Assistant who genuinely enjoys Accounts Receivable and collections. This role is ideal for someone who likes being busy, takes ownership of their ledger, and performs at their best in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. If you’re comfortable chasing payments, picking up the phone, and balancing multiple priorities without being micromanaged, this could be an excellent next step.
About the Business
This organisation has been operating across Australia for decades and is recognised as a leader in its sector. While nationally established, it retains a supportive, people-focused culture and is backed by the stability and resources of a global group.
What You’ll Be Doing
This is a hands-on finance role with a strong Accounts Receivable specialisation, supported by exposure to AP and broader accounting tasks.
Your day-to-day will include:
* Owning the AR ledger and managing collections across a high volume of invoices (150 AR invoices a week)
* Proactively following up overdue accounts via phone and email
* Posting receipts and processing customer refunds accurately
* Taking care of invoice processing (coding, matching, batching) and payment runs (1-2 a week)
* Supporting month-end activities including accruals
* Managing expense claims and corporate card reconciliations
* Providing general finance support as required
What We’re Looking For
This role will suit someone who is organised, resilient, and confident working in a high-volume, fast-moving finance function.
You’ll bring:
* Proven experience in Accounts Receivable and debt collection
* Confidence dealing directly with customers to resolve overdue payments
* Experience using MYOB (essential)
* Strong Excel capability, including lookups and pivot tables
* High attention to detail with strong time-management skills
* Ability to work independently, particularly when working from home
* Clear, professional communication skills
What’s On Offer
* Hybrid working (office presence required once per week)
* A role with ownership and autonomy
* Long-term stability within a national organisation with temp2perm opportunity for the right candidate
* Exposure beyond AR without losing your specialisation
