• Vendor & Ledger Integrity: Reconcile supplier statements to the ledger, resolve discrepancies promptly, and maintain vendor master data (including phone verification of bank updates).  
• Rebate & Key Accounts Support: Collect store sales data, calculate periodic rebates (monthly, quarterly, annual), process credit notes/invoices, and support procurement with supplier purchasing analysis.  
• Accounting Month-End & Tax: Execute bank reconciliations, complete GST filings/journals, process fixed asset depreciation, and assist the Finance Manager with budget variance investigations.  
• Stakeholder & Admin Support: Be the go-to person for billing queries from stores, suppliers, and internal team members with a clear, direct, and customer-focused approach.  

Benefits:

• Free on-site parking at North Shore location
• Structured professional growth and skills development opportunities
• Work from home 1 day per week (between Tuesday – Thursday, once settled in)
• Subsidised health insurance for you and your immediate family
• Discount fuel card

Who You Are & What You Bring

We are open to candidates with 1 – 2 years of solid Accounts Payable / NZ Accounting experience, provided you bring high attention to detail, strong ownership, and a desire to perform well in a steady, reliable role.

You take initiative, proactively follow up with others to get answers, and close out queries quickly. We’re seeking a high level of accuracy, precision in data entry, and structured thinking. A straight-up communicator will work well here, polite, grounded, deadline-driven, and equipped with a good sense of humour!
