About the Role
We are looking for an experienced and independent Accounts Receivable Specialist to join an Australian pest control business.
This role is primarily focused on Accounts Receivable, invoicing, payment allocation, collections, and customer account management. The ideal candidate should already have a solid understanding of accounting fundamentals and Australian accounting practices, allowing them to work independently with minimal supervision.
You will be responsible for preparing and issuing invoices based on completed services, allocating customer payments, monitoring outstanding accounts, and proactively following up with commercial customers regarding overdue payments. You will also work closely with the Australian onshore team to ensure that service activity is accurately reflected in the billing process.
The successful candidate should be someone who does not require training on basic accounting concepts or Australian accounting practices but is willing and able to learn the client's specific processes, systems, and workflows.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accounting professional who is confident working independently, comfortable handling collections calls, highly organized, and capable of taking ownership of the end-to-end accounts receivable process.
