The Job

Are you a finance professional with a knack for both numbers and people? We're looking for a dynamic Collections and Accounts Receivable Officer to join our team, based in our Brisbane office and reporting to the Accounts Receivable Manager. We are a high-growth SaaS company with operations in the UK, US, New Zealand, and Australia.

This isn't your traditional AR role; it's a hybrid position that combines core accounts receivable duties with the strategic skills of a credit controller. You will be crucial to our financial health, managing the entire accounts receivable cycle across multiple international locations. You'll not only handle day-to-day AR operations but also take a proactive approach to collections and customer account analysis. We recently implemented Salesforce Revenue Cloud, so your expertise will be key in helping us optimise our new system and improve our collections process.

What You’ll Do

Collections Management: Proactively manage a portfolio of customer accounts to ensure timely payment. This includes making collection calls and sending follow-up emails. While this role is based in Brisbane, it will require some flexibility to accommodate a small overlap in hours with our international teams and customers.

Customer Account Analysis: Analyse customer payment trends and account behaviour within Salesforce Revenue Cloud. Identify potential risks and escalate delinquent accounts as needed.

Problem Resolution: Act as a key point of contact for customer inquiries related to billing discrepancies and payment issues. Investigate and resolve complex billing problems, including system or workflow errors, in collaboration with other teams.

Relationship Building: Build and maintain strong working relationships with key stakeholders across Operations, Sales, and Customer Support to ensure seamless workflow and timely resolution of customer issues.

Accounts Receivable Operations: Perform core AR duties, such as applying customer payments, issuing credits, reconciling accounts, and managing the AR aging report.

System and Data Integrity: Ensure the accuracy of customer billing and payment information within Salesforce Revenue Cloud. Proactively identify and report any system errors or workflow anomalies.

Reporting: Generate and analyse reports on key AR metrics, including Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and collection effectiveness.

Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve the efficiency of the collections and AR processes.

What You’ll Bring

Proven experience in a similar accounts receivable, collections, or credit control role.

Solid understanding of accounting principles, ideally with a diploma or degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field.

Strong experience with accounting software and CRM systems. Prior experience with Salesforce Revenue Cloud or similar will be highly desirable.

Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret data and identify trends.

Strong to advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables, VLOOKUP, and data visualisation.

Exceptional verbal and written communication skills for effective customer interaction and negotiation.

Meticulous attention to detail to ensure accuracy in billing and data entry.

A proactive and results-oriented individual who can work independently and as part of a team.

Willingness to be flexible with work hours to support international operations.
