Accounts Receivable

Are you someone who enjoys working with numbers, keeping things organised and making sure the details add up?

InterGroup is looking for an Accounts Receivable professional to join our Finance team. This role is about more than processing invoices. You'll play an important part in ensuring our customers are billed accurately, on time and in line with the agreed scope of work and contractual requirements.

Working closely with our Operations and Finance teams, you'll help make sure the work we deliver is correctly captured, invoiced and followed through, supporting accurate revenue reporting and timely payments.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll be responsible for managing the accounts receivable and billing process, ensuring completed work is accurately invoiced to customers.

A key focus of this role will be reviewing work completed against the agreed scope, identifying any differences, and making sure all chargeable work, variations and additional services are captured and billed correctly.

You'll need to be comfortable working with operational teams, reviewing supporting documentation and asking questions when something doesn't look right. Attention to detail and the ability to follow things through will be important.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Prepare and process customer invoices accurately and within required timeframes.
• Review customer contracts, purchase orders and agreed scopes of work to ensure billing aligns with contractual requirements.
• Work closely with Operations to confirm completed work is captured and billed correctly.
• Identify gaps between the work completed and what has been invoiced, ensuring all chargeable work is accounted for.
• Review variations, additional work and out-of-scope activities to ensure these are appropriately approved and billed.
• Investigate billing discrepancies and resolve queries with operational teams and customers.
• Manage customer accounts, including monitoring outstanding invoices and following up overdue payments.
• Allocate and reconcile customer payments, ensuring accounts are kept up to date.
• Respond to customer queries relating to invoices, payments and account balances.
• Maintain accurate accounts receivable records and support regular debtor reporting.
• Identify opportunities to improve billing processes and reduce missed or delayed invoicing.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for someone who is organised, commercially aware and confident working with both financial information and operational teams.

You'll ideally bring:

• Previous experience in Accounts Receivable, billing or a similar finance administration role.
• Strong attention to detail and confidence working with numbers.
• An understanding of invoicing, customer accounts and payment processes.
• The ability to read and interpret contracts, purchase orders and scopes of work, or a willingness to develop this skill.
• Good communication skills and the confidence to follow up with managers and operational teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to investigate discrepancies.
• Good computer skills and experience working with accounting or ERP systems.
• The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines.

Experience in a contracting, construction, infrastructure or service-based business would be advantageous, particularly where billing is based on completed work, agreed rates and variations.

WHY JOIN INTERGROUP?

InterGroup is a New Zealand infrastructure and industrial services business delivering essential services across the country.

You'll be joining a Finance team that works closely with our operational teams to support the business. This role provides the opportunity to develop a strong understanding of how our services are delivered and how accurate billing contributes to the financial performance of the business.
