Motorcentral Accounts Administrator
Avanti Finance is growing – fast
We’re on a mission to become the best specialist lending company in New Zealand and Australia, and we’re looking for ambitious, driven people to help get us there.
We’ve got bold goals and a clear vision for the future. That means exciting opportunities for those ready to champion new ideas, challenge the status quo, and grow alongside us.
If you’re hungry to make an impact, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and love turning ideas into action – you’ll feel right at home here.
Motorcentral creates powerful software and technology solutions for the automotive industry. As part of Avanti Finance Group, we combine the pace and personality of a close-knit technology business with the support of an established financial services group.
We’re looking for an Accounts Administrator to join us on a six-month fixed-term contract. This is a critical role that keeps our invoicing, receivables and administration running smoothly, while also supporting BuyerScore, our independent dealer rating and review platform.
The role
Reporting to the Head of Customer Experience, you’ll take ownership of Motorcentral’s accounts receivable processes and work closely with Avanti’s Accounts team in Auckland.You’ll make sure invoices are issued accurately and on time, payments are allocated and reconciled, and overdue accounts are followed up. When something does not balance, you’ll have an experienced Accounts team available to help, but we’ll rely on you to investigate the issue and take it through to resolution.
This is not a full-time accounting position. Alongside the financial administration, you’ll manage several important operational processes across BuyerScore and customer sales orders. The work is varied, detailed and essential to the day-to-day running of the business.
What you’ll do
- Manage Motorcentral’s monthly invoicing and ensure billing information is recorded correctly in NetSuite
- Allocate and reconcile customer payments at the beginning and end of each month
- Follow up overdue accounts professionally and refer unresolved debts for external collection when required
- Investigate billing discrepancies and work with the Avanti Accounts team when figures do not balance
- Oversee the company credit card and reconcile supplier expenditure
- Maintain accurate customer, billing and account information across internal systems
- Monitor BuyerScore each day to make sure the platform and customer survey process are operating as expected
- Send BuyerScore surveys, collate customer feedback and maintain accurate dealer scores
- Respond to questions from customers and dealerships, using established responses or escalating more complex matters
- Load signed customer orders into the system and distribute them to the appropriate teams
- Provide general administration support across the Motorcentral business as required
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to be a qualified accountant, but you will need practical bookkeeping or accounts administration experience. You’ll be comfortable learning systems and working through discrepancies rather than simply passing them on.You’ll ideally bring:
- Previous bookkeeping, accounts receivable or accounts administration experience
- Confidence using an accounting system such as NetSuite, Xero, MYOB or a similar ERP platform
- Strong Excel or spreadsheet skills, with the ability to work with data and arrive at an accurate answer
- Excellent attention to detail, particularly when working with invoices, payments and reconciliations
- Clear and professional written and verbal communication
- Confidence following up overdue accounts and handling occasional difficult customer enquiries
- A practical, organised approach and the ability to manage several different responsibilities
- Strong problem-solving skills and the judgement to know when to investigate further or ask for support
- The ability to learn unfamiliar systems and processes quickly
What's in it for me?
At Avanti Finance, you'll be supported to grow your career, develop new skills and take ownership of your professional development.
You'll have the chance to give back to the community through initiatives such as Duffy Books in Homes and our annual volunteer day programme.
Depending on the role and team, flexible working arrangements may be available to support your work-life balance.
You'll have access to a range of benefits, which include enhanced KiwiSaver employer contributions (on top of your base salary), enhanced parental and secondary carer benefits, free access to a gym, pilates studio, sauna and state-of-the-art end of trip facilities, and fresh fruit in the office.
If you're looking for a place where you can realise your potential, feel supported and make a meaningful contribution, we'd love to hear from you.
