Account Payable Officer

Introduction:

Accounts Payable Officer Oxford Falls, Sydney | Full time, permanent | ASAP start

Invoices don't pay themselves. On a construction company's books, they don't stay simple for long. We need an AP Officer who gets it right the first time.

About Us CC Pines is an Australian-owned, family-founded construction company on Sydney's Northern Beaches. We deliver complex Commercial and Government projects for clients like the Australian Department of Defence, DFAT and the US Department of Defence. We work across Sydney, Darwin and Honiara. We're medium-sized, so your work gets seen. Our values are simple: humble, hungry, smart.

Where You'll Work Our HQ is in Oxford Falls. Bush on one side, beaches on the other. Walk Manly Dam at lunch. Swim at Narrabeen or Dee Why after work. No CBD commute.

Description:

• Keep clean, auditable records and prep documents for audits
• Answer supplier and internal queries fast, and fix discrepancies
• Be the go-to AP contact for project and corporate teams
• Spot ways to cut manual work and tighten controls, and help test new finance systems
