Accounts Officer

Location: Truganina

Employment Type: Full time

CERTEX Lifting and our affiliated Australian companies supply lifting equipment, steel

wire rope, height safety, and other lifting solutions, alongside connected services

including testing, maintenance, assembly, and hire of lifting products for industrial

applications in a wide range of industries. With over 18 Australian sites across 5 brands,

we are one of Australia's largest providers of lifting equipment solutions, with a far-

sighted focus on sustainable growth.

Due to company growth, we have identified the need to add an additional Accounts

Officer to our Finance & Accounts team.

The work environment

This role is an in-house or hybrid role in our Truganina branch. You will work

collaboratively with other Accounts Officers and finance personnel located around

Australia to support the accounts function of the business.

You will be working in a close-knit, supportive team, who meet regularly via video-chat

to discuss Accounts matters and solve problems together. They support each other in

innovative ways, including each person taking responsibility for developing training

resources to ensure everyone has the tools to do any part of the job.

The department manager is hands-on and dedicated to ensuring each employee has a

regular opportunity to discuss issues and solve problems one-to-one.

The role

This is a cross-functional role that includes a range of responsibilities such as Accounts

Receivable, Accounts Payable, invoicing, and bank reconciliations (but not payroll). To

ensure uninterrupted support and promote work-life-balance within the team,

Accounts Officers do not have dedicated responsibility in any one area and will be

trained in all account's functions. However, to create a smoother flow of work, everyone

in the team takes on something as a key focus area; becoming the “go-to” person for

that area. Some of the key responsibilities of the role include:

• Assisting with sales invoicing at month-end to ensure sales are finalised and

recorded in the correct month.

• Debtor reconciliation, maintaining aged debtors, and managing debtor portals.

• Credit checks for new clients.

• Entering supplier invoices and assisting with timely payment of accounts.

• Statement reconciliations and assisting with bank reconciliations.

• Supporting purchase invoicing including ensuring correct records are captured

against purchase orders and purchase orders are approved.

• Customer service, including responding to customer enquiries via phone and

email.

What we are looking for - Must Haves

Your resume and Seek responses should show evidence of the following:

• Solid experience in a similar role (4 years ideally).

• Certificate IV or higher in bookkeeping, financial services, or business

administration, or similar relevant qualification.

• Advanced proficiency in Xero.

• Experience working with multi-entity or multi-location accounts.

• End to end accounts payable and accounts receivable experience.

• Microsoft experience especially Excel, SharePoint & Teams.

• You are willing to undergo a basic pre-employment medical (general health

screening), including drug and alcohol screening (this is standard for all

employees, regardless of department).

• You have the legal right to work in Australia on a permanent basis.

What we are looking for – Nice to Have

While not mandatory, if we can also identify these things on your resume, that will set

you apart from the crowd:

• Experience using Business Central (Microsoft Dynamics) software.

• Experience supporting the Accounts function of a geographically dispersed

company.

• Experience supporting the Accounts function of a product-and-service based

company in a “heavy” industry such as construction or mining.

• Experience working in a small team environment.

• An understanding of international payments and foreign exchange systems.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone whose previous employers can attest to the following traits

and work habits:

• Comfortable with using and embracing digital tools for work and

communications, (such as video-calls and screen capturing).

• Excellent communication skills – being clear and keeping the right people

informed, and able to work cohesively and collaboratively with a team.

• Comfortable switching and reprioritising tasks to manage unexpected urgent

tasks.

• Excellent attention to detail, particularly in identifying discrepancies in

numerical data, and taking action to address them.

• Interested in learning and growing your skills, and adept at learning and applying

learned knowledge.

• You know how to make things happen – you are adaptable and able to find

solutions.

• You are far-sighted – understanding the impact of your actions on the future and

acting to prevent future issues.

• You are good to work with – considerate, professional, and courteous towards

others.
