  • Managing new customer and supplier account setups, credit checks, and account opening/closing processes.
  • Taking ownership of debtor management – collections, payment plans, letters of demand, and escalations.
  • Using CreditorWatch insights to strengthen credit control and manage risk exposure.
  • Working with management to refine frameworks for account setup, credit terms, and debtor management.
  • Collaborating with Purchasing and Management to negotiate improved supplier and creditor terms.
  • Ensuring accurate data, reconciliations, and reporting on key metrics such as aged debtors, payment plans and adverse credit alerts.
  • Supporting automation and process improvements to enhance efficiency and compliance.

  • Minimum 3 years' experience in accounts, bookkeeping, or a similar role.
  • Demonstrated experience with chart of accounts and sound understanding of accounting practices.
  • Excellent attention to detail and accuracy in data entry.
  • Experience in debtor management, supplier follow-up, and account reconciliation.
  • Strong communication skills and a professional phone manner.
  • Ability to prioritise tasks, work independently, and meet deadlines.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
  • Proficiency in accounting software (e.g., NEXUS, MYOB, Xero, or similar).
  • Competency in Microsoft Excel and reporting tools.
  • Availability to work during school holidays.

The following skills and experience are desirable but not essential:

  • Experience in a foodservice, FMCG, or warehouse/distribution environment.
  • Familiarity with stock and inventory systems.
