Accounts Officer

Who Are We?
Affinity Nursing is a market leader in regional, rural and remote travel nursing and a contracted supplier to health departments nationally.

We are seeking an experienced Accounts Officer to join our Finance Team. This role has a primary focus on accounts receivable and accounts payable, with broader finance administration. We are looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership of their work, building strong relationships and contributing wherever needed within a collaborative team.

About the Role
As an Accounts Officer, you will play a key role in supporting the financial operations of the business. You will take ownership of the accounts payable function while also supporting accounts receivable billing processes and providing general finance administration across the team.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same. One day you may be processing supplier invoices and preparing payments and the next responding to health department billing enquiries, working with internal teams to ensure accurate billing processes, or assisting with reporting and month-end activities. We are looking for someone who enjoys variety, is organised, proactive and willing to support wherever needed.

This role is about more than processing transactions. Whether you're following up on a supplier query, responding to a client billing enquiry or assisting another department with a finance request, every interaction is an opportunity to build professional relationships and provide excellent service.

As part of a small and collaborative Finance Team, you'll work closely with colleagues across the business to ensure finance processes run smoothly while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy and continuous improvement.

You'll Thrive in This Role If You

• Take a relationship-first approach and enjoy building trust with stakeholders.

• Have exceptional attention to detail and take pride in the accuracy of your work.

• Are comfortable picking up the phone and having conversations with clients, suppliers and stakeholders to resolve issues and maintain strong relationships.

• Thrive in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Working closely with colleagues to manage the accounts receivable function, including weekly invoicing, payment allocation, debtor management and responding to invoice queries.

• Own the accounts payable function, including processing supplier invoices, managing approval processes, preparing payments, reconciling supplier accounts and managing supplier enquiries.

• Build positive relationships with clients by resolving billing enquiries and following up outstanding accounts professionally by phone and email.

• Maintain accurate financial records and ensure finance documentation is complete and up to date.

• Assist with month-end processing, reconciliations, reporting and audit requirements.

• Provide finance administration support and respond to enquiries from internal stakeholders.

• Identify opportunities to improve finance processes and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

• Support the broader Finance Team with operational and administrative tasks as required.

Preferred Experience

• Previous experience in Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable or Finance Administration is required.

• Experience working in a high volume environment while maintaining exceptional accuracy.

• Experience using Reckon, Salesforce and advanced Microsoft Excel skills would be highly regarded.

• Previous experience in labour hire, healthcare or high-volume billing and payroll environments would be highly regarded.

• Ongoing professional development, mentorship and training opportunities. 

• Friday Fun Day – from colour themes to PJ days, no two weeks look the same! 

• Chance for your pup to apply for our CHO – Chief Happiness Officer position and join the pup schedule for office days. 

• WFH flexibility with up to two days per week to support your work life balance. 

• The opportunity to work in a meaningful industry supporting nurses, hospitals and communities across Australia.
