Accounts Receivable (light):

Assist with basic follow-ups

Weekly:

Ensure all accounts are fully reconciled to current date
Prepare a weekly payment report (who needs to be paid, when, and priority)
Flag any overdue or urgent items early

After payroll:

Process and reconcile payroll entries in Xero (payroll will be run by us)

What we’re looking for

Required:

Strong experience with Xero
Experience with:
Bank reconciliations
Accounts payable (bills and payments)
High attention to detail
Strong written English
Ability to follow structured processes and meet weekly deadlines

Preferred:

Experience supporting Australian businesses

What success looks like

All bank accounts reconciled daily or near real-time
No backlog of transactions
Clear visibility of what needs to be paid each week
No missed supplier payments

Hours & setup

Please include:

A short summary of your Xero experience
A brief description of your experience with bank reconciliations and accounts payable
Your availability (hours per week)
The word “BALANCED” at the top of your application (this helps us filter attention to detail)
