Description
Who We Are:
You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there's more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good.

We're looking for an Accounts Payable Officer to join our AUSAO finance team. This is a hands-on AP role covering end-to-end invoice processing, supplier payments, reconciliations and compliance across our AUSAO entities.

- Manage supplier aging reports and ensure payments are made in line with agreed terms
- Process and verify employee expense claims, corporate credit cards and petty cash
- Maintain accurate supplier master data including bank details, GST registration and payment terms
- Raise and manage intercompany recharges across AU, NZ and UK entities
- Support month-end and year-end close activities

Our Perfect Match Is:
- Passionate about working in a business with a real mission and products they can get behind
- Someone who leads with kindness and empathy in every interaction, whether that's with a supplier, a colleague or someone in the global team
- A natural problem solver who asks good questions rather than making assumptions
- Tenacious about building relationships, comfortable reaching out cold if that's what it takes to get the right answer
- Service-oriented by nature, they think about the people relying on them to get things right
- Curious about how global finance teams work and excited to bring ideas back to the local team
- Detail-oriented, reliable, and genuinely easy to work with
