Your challenge

About the Opportunity

Join LGT Wealth Management — one of Australia’s leaders in private wealth advice and part of the world’s largest family owned wealth management group.

We are looking for an experienced Accounts Payable professional to take full ownership of the Accounts Payable function and play a key role in modernising, automating and scaling how Accounts Payable operates across the business.

Reporting to the Senior Finance Manager, you’ll operate in a lean, senior capacity with genuine influence. The remit goes well beyond BAU — this role has a clear mandate to challenge existing ways of working, improve systems and controls, and design a fit‑for‑purpose AP function aligned to a modern finance organisation.

You’ll work closely with Finance, the broader business and senior stakeholders, acting as the face of Accounts Payable and the escalation point for complex or sensitive matters.

Your Responsibilities

  • Take end‑to‑end ownership of the Accounts Payable function, including invoices, payments (including FX), corporate credit cards and reimbursements

  • Provide functional oversight and prioritisation to an AP Officer / contractor, ensuring quality, timeliness and strong controls

  • Own the AP inbox and manage escalations, aged creditors and high‑risk or sensitive items

  • Manage bank balances and payment readiness ahead of payment runs

  • Drive continuous improvement across AP processes, with a strong focus on automation, scalability and controls

  • Lead optimisation and maintenance of SAP Concur, including backend configuration and workflow improvements

  • Improve supplier invoice workflows, reducing manual handling and rework

  • Develop AP insights and reporting to identify trends, bottlenecks and control risks

  • Ensure accurate GL postings, reconciliations and AP components of month‑end and year‑end close

  • Support audits, maintaining strong documentation and internal controls

  • Contribute to broader finance transformation and automation initiatives

Your profile

About You

You’re someone who genuinely enjoys owning a function and improving how things work.

You will bring:

  • Extensive end‑to‑end Accounts Payable experience, with demonstrated ownership of a full AP function

  • Proven experience transforming or improving AP processes, systems or controls

  • Strong SAP Concur experience, ideally including maintenance, optimisation or backend configuration

  • Experience working within month‑end close and audit environments

  • Strong Excel and data capability, with confidence working with large or complex datasets

  • The ability to balance hands‑on involvement with strategic improvement work

  • Confidence engaging with Finance leaders and business stakeholders to resolve issues and drive change

This role is best suited to someone comfortable working in a lean environment — not managing a large transactional team — and who enjoys autonomy, accountability and visibility.

Why You’ll Love This Role

  • Transformation focus – You’re encouraged to challenge, redesign and automate, not just maintain

  • Autonomy and trust – Strong support from Finance leadership with real appetite for change

  • Values‑driven organisation – Part of a global wealth management group with a long‑term perspective
