Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable Supervisor

Your experience sets the number here. Let’s talk.

There are two ways to fix an accounts team under pressure. Add another pair of hands, or put someone senior in charge of the hands you already have. This business has done the first. Both officer seats are filled, one on receivables and one on payables, and a new ERP arrives in October. It has not yet done the second.

The product is made on one site on Brisbane’s southside and sold here and offshore. Finance shares the building with production and sales, so most questions get answered in person, the same day. The parent company is listed, so the money is real and so is the scrutiny. What the accounts team has never had is the head between the two officers: someone who knows both ledgers, writes down how they should run and takes the call from sales when the answer is not yet. That is the gap this Transactional Services Supervisor role exists to close.

The Role

Reporting to the FP&A; Manager, with the Financial Controller a desk away and the CFO behind you, this Transactional Services Supervisor role is the senior head across accounts receivable and accounts payable. The two officers work to you day to day. When one of them is on leave, you are in the seat, so the job is hands on as well as in charge.

Sales will want product released. Production will want suppliers paid. You are the one they ring. You decide when an account goes on hold and when a supplier gets paid, and you keep the relationship intact while you do it. When someone pushes, you can point to a procedure that exists because you wrote it, and the CFO has said plainly that whoever sits here is backed all the way. It is five days on site, and it has to be, because everyone who needs you is in the building.

Duties will include, but not be limited to:





Supervising the accounts receivable and accounts payable officers, and covering either seat for leave and peaks

Writing down the AR and AP procedures, then walking sales and production through what they mean

Running credit control from start to finish: credit applications, limits, stop credit, order release and escalation

Chasing overdues weekly rather than in a month end scramble, with payment plans where they make sense

Running the supplier pay run to the cash available, including overseas payments, with three way matching behind it

Registering the company’s interest on the PPSR when product goes out on credit, so there is a way back if a customer fails

Reconciling both ledgers to the general ledger and carrying your part of month end

Producing the weekly and month end numbers for both ledgers: aged debt, debtor days and cash forecast inputs

Getting both ledgers working properly in the new ERP as it beds in from October, with clean customer and supplier records

Taking the accounts calls from sales, production, customers and suppliers, so the officers can get on with the work

About You

You are the kind of Transactional Services Supervisor who may not have had the title yet. You might be the senior AR or AP officer everyone already brings the messy ones to, or the accounts supervisor whose team, most days, is you. You know both ledgers, even if your current desk is mostly one of them.



You can tell a salesperson an account is on hold, take the pushback and then work out with them how to get the customer paying again. You would rather write down how something should be done than inherit someone else’s version. A business that has not written it down yet looks like a chance to you, not a mess. You do not need to be a systems person. You need to know what a clean ledger looks like, and be willing to say so out loud.

Skills & Experience

To be effective in this Transactional Services Supervisor role, you will likely bring:

Hands on experience in both accounts receivable and accounts payable, even if your current title only names one

Credit control and collections you have actually run, with overdue debt that came down because of you

Supplier pay runs with three way matching and supplier statement reconciliations behind them

Procedures you have written, or fixed when they were not working, even if nobody called it policy

Some exposure to PPSR registrations, or the willingness to learn them quickly with support

Confidence on cloud accounting and ERP systems, with a system change you have been through well regarded

Manufacturing or stock based experience well regarded, though not essential

What’s on Offer

A Transactional Services Supervisor seat with the say on how both ledgers run, and a CFO who has said the seat is backed when you use it

A step up rather than a sideways move: the supervisor title for work you may already be doing, with two officers working to you

A recent ERP bedding in from October, so the procedures you write become the way everyone uses it

Brisbane southside, parking at the door and no CBD commute, with a competitive package aligned to the experience you bring
