AR & AP Lead

A bit about the role

As our AR & AP Lead, you’ll be the eyes and ears of our Number Scrunchers accounting function — driving accounts receivable and accounts payable operations day to day, in close partnership with your two direct reports (our AR Expert and AP Coordinator) and the wider Financial Operations team. You’ll keep our books accurate, our customers paying on time, and our suppliers paid on time, all so we can maximise the donations we’re able to make.

If you worked here this past month here are some things you might have been involved in

• Pulled together the monthly AR ageing report for the CFO and exec team, with a clear plan to chase down aged amounts
• Reviewed the weekly payments file (including the Tipalti funding summary) before it went out for approval
• Flagged an “at risk” customer account early and looped in the customer-facing team for support
• Helped close the books accurately and on time at month-end, escalating one risk early to the Head of Financial Operations
• Worked with the AP Coordinator to tidy up a clunky step in the AP process

Let’s talk about you

Detail is your love language

You get real satisfaction from a reconciliation that ties out perfectly and a report that lands on the CFO’s desk without a single follow-up question. You’re equally comfortable rolling your sleeves up in the detail of a customer account and stepping back to build the KPIs and reporting that keep the whole team honest.

Calm under a closing calendar

Month-end doesn’t rattle you. You know how to keep AR and AP on track to a deadline, spot a risk early enough to actually do something about it, and communicate clearly with stakeholders when something needs to change.

A coach as much as a doer

You lead a small, tight-knit team and genuinely enjoy it — you give clear, kind feedback, help your people grow, and aren’t afraid of a difficult conversation when a process or a stakeholder relationship needs a repair job.

You give a crap. Do you want your work to make the world a better place? Do you want to work with other people who feel the same way? What a coincidence — us too!
