The Company

This is a privately held Australian manufacturer in the health and life sciences space, and it is growing quickly. The products are made onsite, the customer base is expanding here and offshore, and the business is investing hard in the systems and processes to match, including a recent ERP landing later this year. The finance team sits close to the action on Brisbane's southside, where production, sales and finance share the same building and decisions get made in person, not by email chain.

The Role

Reporting to the FP&A; Manager with a direct line into the Financial Controller, you sit between the accounts receivable and accounts payable officers as the senior head across both ledgers. This is not a backfill. The business has deliberately chosen to add experience rather than replace like for like, because the function needs someone who can run it, write the rules for it and represent it to the rest of the business.

That last part matters. Sales wants product released. Production wants suppliers paid. Your job is to hold the line on credit terms and payment runs while keeping those relationships intact, and to point back at policies that exist because you wrote them.

Duties will include, but not be limited to:

- Supervising and supporting the AR and AP officers day to day, stepping into either seat to cover leave or peaks
- Writing and rolling out AR and AP policies and procedures across the wider business
- Running credit control end to end: credit assessment, limits, stop credit decisions and escalation
- Managing collections with a systematic cadence rather than a month-end scramble
- Overseeing supplier payment runs built around a cash position, with proper three way matching behind them
- Managing PPSR registrations and security over product supplied on credit
- Reconciling both subledgers to the general ledger and supporting month-end close
- Owning the reporting rhythm across both ledgers: aged debt, DSO,



payment performance and cash forecasting inputs
- Supporting the ERP transition, bringing clean processes and clean master data into the new system
- Acting as the front face of transactional finance to sales, production and customers

About You You know both ledgers properly, not one well and one by reputation. You have supervised before, or you are the senior person in your team that everyone already treats as the supervisor. You are comfortable being the one who says no, and better than that, you can say it in a way that keeps the salesperson onside and the customer buying.

You like the idea of writing the playbook rather than inheriting one, and a business that is still building its process discipline looks like an opportunity to you, not a mess.

Skills & Experience

- Demonstrated end to end experience across both accounts receivable and accounts payable
- Strong credit control and collections capability, with a record of reducing overdue debt
- Experience writing or materially improving finance policies and procedures
- Sound understanding of supplier payment controls, including three way matching and payment run discipline
- Exposure to cloud accounting and ERP platforms, with an ERP implementation or migration well regarded
- Manufacturing or inventory-based industry experience will be well regarded, though not essential

What's On Offer

- A build, not a caretake: the mandate and the backing to set up the function properly
- - Visible support from a CFO and Financial Controller who will hold the line with you

- - A new ERP arriving with you, so you shape the process it runs on rather than inherit it

- - Competitive package aligned to experience, with a business growing around you
