What we screen for
Read against the job, not the keywords.
Volume
Hands-on accounts payable in a busy environment: how many invoices a month, across how many suppliers.
Systems
The accounting system they use every day, MYOB, Xero or similar. Used, not just listed.
The whole cycle
Coding to GL and cost centre, supplier statements, credit card reconciliations.
Accuracy
Accuracy and organisation, shown in the work they describe rather than claimed.
Communication
Confident Excel, and clear written and spoken communication with suppliers.
A plus, not a filter
Month-end exposure, an accounting qualification, and experience in a business like yours.
Already advertised?
We’ll read the applications you already have.
Application Screening reads every one against your brief for $950 per role, with the shortlist back on a 48-hour target from the last application. No placement fee.
How screening worksIf it doesn’t work out
Two guarantees, in writing.
No shortlist worth interviewing within 30 days? You can have the $800 engagement fee back. If your hire resigns within 120 days, or you end their employment within 90, we run the search again at no further fixed fee.
Read the recruitment termsHow long does it take to fill an accounts payable role?
Our target for the first shortlist is 72 hours from the ad going live. From there, a search takes an average of 17 days to fill.
Do you recruit accounts receivable too?
Yes. Accounts receivable and combined AP/AR roles run the same way, at the same fixed fees.
What if the role is part-time?
Part-time roles are banded on the full-time-equivalent package and charged the full fixed fee.
