Accounts Administrator

Know the numbers. Help the team make good decisions.

At ACON Industries, we’re building more than roads and infrastructure. We’re building future people, future leaders and stronger communities. We’re looking for an experienced Accounts Administrator who knows their way around the numbers, keeps good records and follows things through.

You’ll manage the day-to-day finance administration that keeps our business moving, including accounts payable and receivable, payroll, credit control, cashflow management, supplier/customer onboarding, reconciliations and month-end.

If you’re organised, good with people and take pride in getting the details right, we’d like to talk.

What does a good day look like?

• The accounts are current and accurate.
• Supplier invoices are matched and processed.
• Customer invoices and overdue balances are visible.
• Payroll information is complete and confidential.
• Bank and control accounts are reconciled.
• Cashflow information reflects what is happening.
• Problems and missing information are raised early.
• The team has reliable information to make decisions.

What you’ll be doing

• Processing approved supplier invoices, credit notes and payments.
• Matching purchase orders, invoices and delivery or receipt records.
• Maintaining accounts receivable and issuing invoices from approved information.
• Following up overdue accounts professionally and keeping credit-control actions current.
• Preparing and processing approved payroll information.
• Maintaining payroll records, including leave, allowances and deductions.
• Completing bank, credit-card, payroll, debtor and creditor reconciliations.
• Maintaining cashflow information and helping identify upcoming pressures or timing issues.
• Supporting month-end journals, accruals, reconciliations and reporting.
• Tracking approved budgets, financial commitments, actual costs and material variances.
• Maintaining supporting records for GST, PAYE, KiwiSaver, FBT and other finance requirements.
• Setting up and maintaining accurate customer and supplier records.
• Maintaining approved supplier-rate and pricing-support information.
• Protecting confidential employee, customer, supplier and banking information.
• Helping improve finance systems, controls and everyday ways of working.

What we’re looking for

You’ll probably have:

• Accounts administration, bookkeeping or similar finance experience.
• Experience with accounts payable, receivable, payroll and reconciliations.
• Confidence using Xero accounting software and Microsoft Excel.
• Good knowledge of GST, PAYE and general finance administration.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach.
• The ability to manage priorities and meet recurring deadlines.

You’ll fit in well if:

• You follow things through.
• You ask questions when something doesn’t add up.
• You raise problems early.
• You treat people with respect.
• You protect confidential information.
• You look for practical ways to improve how things are done.
• You can have a laugh but still get the work done.

Our values are pretty simple

• Forward Facing: We’re building something that lasts.
• Act With Humility: No big egos. Just good people doing good work.
• Village Mentality: When someone needs help, we step in.
• Mana to Mana: Our relationships are based on trust and mutual respect.
