New Position: Accounts Receivable Assistant

Division: Finance

Job type: Accounting

Location: Australia (Sydney)

The Who

Back in 1988, our founders had an ambitious dream to form the largest independent travel specialist in the world and to set the example of how touring and travel should be done. The belief that travel is one of the most emotive experiences you undertake and our ambition to make this experience the absolute best it can be for the traveller, has become the guiding principle for TAG.

We believe that through a bespoke, high-touch and personal service, we can alleviate the stress and complexity of travel. So, whether it is a business meeting to close a deal, an event to meet industry peers or a gig for 50,000 screaming fans, we will get our clients to where they need to be feeling ready to take on the world.

The Why

At TAG, our company values matter. We appreciate our staff working as a Team, having Ambition and being Genuine.

You will have a passion for the job you do, as well as a drive to want to do better – in return, TAG will support your growth and development, as well as offer opportunities to progress or maybe even change tack!

The What

As Accounts Receivable Assistant you will have a diverse and varied role. Here are just some of the things you’ll be getting involved with:

• Ensure TAG receives payment for services provided and record accurately
• Verify and post receipts, resolving any discrepancies accordingly
• Maintaining accounts receivable files and records
• Generating invoices and account statements
• Distributing client statements and outstanding invoices
• Following up with clients in relation to unpaid accounts
• Performing account reconciliations
• Posting daily receipts including credit card reconciliations
• Processing credit card charges
• Investigating and resolving any irregularities or enquiries
• Assisting Accounts Receivable Supervisor
• Assisting with month-end routines and year-end accounts including related audit preparation

The How

To be successful at TAG is as much about mindset and attitude as it is about skill-set and qualifications. We’re a team who share the same desire and passion to go above and beyond for each and every client. We revel in making the seemingly impossible possible, always rising to the challenge with ambition and a genuine, open attitude.

We work flexibly to accommodate our TAG team colleagues, meaning on occasion there could be requirements ‘outside of office hours’ to manage time zones and other work commitments.

As an Accounts Receivable Assistant there are several credentials and attributes which would be advantageous, but a determined attitude and willingness to learn, are equally important.

• Accounts Receivables experience preferred
• Accounting experience within the travel industry preferred
• Excel skills at intermediate level or higher
• Proven record of working in a fast-paced environment
• A service-oriented team player who can interchange independent work with departmental teamwork
• An enquiring and analytical mindset with the ability to spot and resolve errors
• Consistent attention to detail with a calm and considered approach to work volumes
• Excellent time management with appreciation of changeable priorities
• Adaptable to a variety of people and circumstances, and working between different teams/individuals
• Excellent communication skills with an ability to build a rapport with a range of stakeholders

The Where and When

This is a full-time role 37.5 hours per week based in our Sydney office. Since March 2020 we have operated a flexible, hybrid approach to working and will continue to do this moving forward. We will work with you to find the best mix of office and home working that suits your life and the needs of the team.

You will report into the Accounts Receivable Supervisor who is based in Sydney.

The Important Bit

As passionate as you may be about changing the face of travel, let’s be honest – you’re not doing this for free. So, here’s our promise to you:

• Competitive salary DOE
• Wellness/EAP programme
• Employee discounts

We are also committed to offering an equal opportunity for all employees and applicants.
