About KM Lynskey
KM Lynskey is a well-established construction company with a proven track record in the successful completion of a wide variety of projects, both by our main contracting and subcontracting divisions. Our success reflects our commitment to our employees and partners, and our dedication to safety, quality, innovation, sustainability, and customer satisfaction.
We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Accounts Payable Clerk with strong NetSuite ERP (or another equivalent ERP system) experience to join our finance team. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the end-to-end accounts payable process, ensuring supplier invoices are processed accurately and on time, and maintaining strong supplier relationships while supporting the wider finance function.
A key aspect of the role will involve performing accurate three-way matching of supplier invoices, purchase orders, and goods received notes/delivery dockets to ensure compliance with company controls and payment accuracy. The successful candidate will be experienced in investigating discrepancies, proactively chasing internal stakeholders and suppliers for outstanding delivery dockets and supporting documentation, and resolving invoice queries in a timely manner.
The accounts payable function uses Kefron - an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology and automated invoice processing workflow. Supplier invoices are electronically captured and validated against purchase orders, enabling invoices to be processed automatically where a successful match exists. The Accounts Payable Clerk will be responsible for monitoring exception queues, reviewing unmatched invoices, resolving discrepancies, and ensuring the integrity of the automated process.
The ideal candidate will have proven experience in a high-volume accounts payable environment, excellent organisational skills, strong attention to detail, and a thorough understanding of accounts payable controls and reconciliation processes. Experience using NetSuite, working with automated invoice processing systems, and managing invoice workflows within a fast-paced finance function is essential.
