Who is Bare?
Bare is one of Australia’s fastest growing businesses, in one of the most traditional industries in the world — the funeral industry.
We exist to make end-of-life care accessible, affordable and transparent, changing the way Australians deal with death. For too long, the industry has delivered expensive, traditional, cookie-cutter services that don’t reflect how modern Australians want to say goodbye.
By combining empathy with technology, we’re creating end-of-life experiences that are simple, personalised and affordable. In just five years, we’ve supported more than 40,000 families, become Australia’s most awarded end-of-life provider (recognised for customer service, innovation and digital disruption), and built a team of 100+ passionate people.
And we’re just getting started.
As part of our continued growth, we’re looking for a Senior Accounts Payable Officer to join our finance team.
So, what’s the role?
We are looking for a detail-oriented and reliable Senior Accounts Payable Officer to join our finance team and support the day-to-day accounts payable operations of an Australian company.
The successful candidate will be responsible for accurately processing supplier invoices, maintaining vendor accounts, reconciling transactions, and ensuring payments are processed accurately and on time. The role will primarily use Dext and Xero will work closely with the Australian finance and operations teams.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong attention to detail who enjoys working with numbers, following and improving processes, and maintaining accurate financial records.
What you'll do
-Process and code supplier invoices accurately in Dext and Xero
-Organize scheduled payments and prepare them for approval
-Handle urgent payments through Airwallex
-Respond to supplier queries and collaborate with the team on Slack
-Support month-end tasks and share ideas for improving how we work
What we're looking for
-3+ years in AP or a similar finance role
-Experience with Xero and Dext
-Strong attention to detail, with the ability to work quickly and accurately
-Reliable, organized, and takes ownership of their work
-Clear written English
-Bonus: experience improving or automating finance processes
What’s in it for you?
This isn’t your ordinary finance role, in your ordinary company. You’ll join an entrepreneurial, inclusive culture where we succeed together. We offer autonomy, flexibility and real ownership. No two days are the same — and that’s exactly how we like it.
In addition, we offer:
-Strong opportunities for career growth and progression
-A high-performing and highly engaged team environment
-Autonomy and flexibility, including work-from-home options
-A competitive remuneration package
-The opportunity to help transform an industry and make a real human impact
The main reason you’ll join, however, is because you believe in what we’re building. You’re excited by growth. You want to help scale a business that is genuinely changing lives — and you want your finance expertise to be part of that journey.
Please include your resume in your application. Thank you!
