Join a well-established consumer products organisation delivering essential community and care services across Sydney. This is an opportunity to step into a critical Accounts Payable role supporting a busy finance team during a period of operational growth and transformation.

You will play a key role in managing the end-to-end accounts payable function, ensuring the accurate and timely processing of supplier invoices and payments while supporting month-end activities and maintaining strong vendor relationships. This role offers meaningful work within a purpose-driven environment, along with hybrid working flexibility and the opportunity to make an immediate impact.

Role Overview

Reporting to the Finance Manager, this Accounts Payable Officer role will focus on the end-to-end processing of supplier invoices, payment runs, account reconciliations, and supplier relationship management within a high-volume finance environment.

On a daily basis, you will process invoices, match purchase orders, reconcile supplier statements, respond to supplier enquiries, and ensure payments are completed accurately and on time. You will work closely with internal stakeholders to resolve invoice discrepancies, support month-end close activities, and contribute to ongoing process improvements across the accounts payable function.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, has exceptional attention to detail, and takes pride in maintaining accurate financial records. The position has been created to provide additional support to the finance team following a recent organisational restructure and growth phase.

This is initially a 3-month contract with potential for extension depending on business needs.
