The Organisation
Our client is a large, well-established corporate organisation with a significant presence across Australia.

Assisting with system and process testing where required
Supporting payment runs and associated checks
Providing some general Accounts Payable processing support when required
Maintaining accurate records and ensuring appropriate controls are followed
With up to approximately 4,000 payments per month flowing through the function, attention to detail and the ability to confidently work with large volumes of financial information will be particularly important.
