Blooming People is partnering with a long-established Australian textile manufacturer to appoint an experienced Accounts Payable Officer to its Campbellfield finance team.

Reporting to the Financial Controller and working closely with the Chief Financial Officer, you will take ownership of high-volume accounts payable while communicating regularly in Mandarin and English with suppliers throughout China.

This is an excellent opportunity for an organised and dependable accounts professional who enjoys solving discrepancies, building strong supplier relationships and contributing beyond routine invoice entry.

What you'll be responsible for

  • Process high volumes of supplier invoices in MYOB, ensuring accurate coding, GST treatment, approvals and supporting documentation
  • Match purchase orders, invoices and delivery dockets, following up missing or inconsistent information
  • Prepare payment runs, issue remittance advices and respond to supplier payment enquiries
  • Reconcile supplier statements and resolve discrepancies, duplicate invoices, credits and aged items
  • Communicate in Mandarin and English with international suppliers regarding invoices, payments and account enquiries
  • Support bank and General Ledger reconciliations, creditor reporting, accruals, prepayments and month-end activities
  • Maintain accurate supplier records, including authorised bank details, payment terms and credit documentation
  • Work closely with Procurement, Production and Warehousing to obtain approvals and resolve invoice or delivery issues
  • Assist with ERP reporting, data reconciliation, finance automation and process improvements

What you'll bring

To be considered, you will need:

  • Professional fluency in both Mandarin and English
  • At least two years' experience in accounts payable or a broad Accounts Officer position
  • Strong hands‐on experience using MYOB
  • Demonstrated experience processing high volumes of supplier invoices
  • Experience preparing payment runs and completing supplier statement reconciliations
  • An understanding of GST coding, purchase orders, invoice matching and payment controls
  • Strong Excel, reconciliation and problem‐solving skills
  • Exceptional accuracy and the ability to manage competing deadlines
  • A professional and confident approach when dealing with suppliers and internal stakeholders

Experience in manufacturing and exposure to ERP systems such as AREL Atoms will be highly regarded. An accounting, bookkeeping or business qualification is desirable but not essential where you can demonstrate relevant experience.

Why consider this opportunity?

  • Use your Mandarin and English skills in a meaningful commercial setting
  • Take ownership of an important accounts payable function
  • Work directly with experienced senior finance leaders
  • Gain exposure to banking, month-end reporting, ERP systems and broader finance activities
