AP/AR Lead

Not all heroes wear capes — but plenty of them use toilet paper Want to challenge yourself at a purpose-led scale up AND make a difference in the world? Come join the revolootion! Funny name, serious business We are a leading eco-friendly household essentials business and we donate 50% of our profits to help everyone gain access to clean water and a toilet. As of June 2024, we’ve contributed over $20 million AUD to this mission. Basically, we’re really good at making it easy to do good. We operate scaling businesses the UK, US, Australia and Canada. Our amazing team is based in Australia, the UK, the Philippines, China, and the US. Our 250+ people aim to make the biggest possible impact for people and the planet. Over the next 5-10 years, we’re hoping to increase our annual donation tenfold to get us closer to our dream of everyone in the world having access to clean water and sanitation services. 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! Why should you work with us? First off, as a certified B Corp™, we work to make a difference every day while maintaining the high standards of social and environmental impact. We’re in very good company with other exceptional B Corps around the world. We also believe that helping to make the world a better place should be rewarded accordingly – that’s why we offer competitive, market informed salaries, meaningful support towards healthcare for our team around the world, generous paid leave, tailored learning and development opportunities, and free toilet paper (yes, you read that right). Our engagement surveys (thanks Culture Amp!) tell us that our team is really proud (over 90%) to work for Who Gives A Crap and, well, we couldn’t be more proud
