It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join Halter to do meaningful work. By joining us you’ll be solving challenging problems within a talented team and a culture built for high performance. Our team out-think, out-work and out-care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world - this isn’t easy, and in truth, we love that it’s hard.

About the role
We’re after an Accounts Payable Clerk to make sure everyone Halter purchases from gets paid correctly and on time. Reporting to the Finance Manager, you’ll own the flow from supplier invoice to payment, across New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the US.
What you’ll own:
Supplier invoices: coding, matching to purchase orders and approvals, and getting them into the system accurately and fast.
Payment runs: preparing weekly payment runs for approval, with every payment checked and every supplier paid on the right date.
Supplier onboarding: setting up new suppliers properly, including verifying bank details so we never pay the wrong account.
Supplier relationships:being the go-to contact for supplier questions, clear and quick, every time.
Reconciliations: reconciling supplier statements and the payables ledger, and chasing down anything that doesn’t line up.
Month-end:accruals and payables close tasks, keeping our records accurate and audit-ready.
Process improvement: if a human is doing it repeatedly, a system should be doing it instead. Spot the manual work and help automate it.
What you’ll bring:
At least 3 years in accounts payable or a similar accounts role.
Sharp attention to detail. You notice the invoice that’s been sent twice, and you catch it before it’s paid.
Genuine follow-through. Questions don’t sit in your inbox.
Confidence pushing back on a number or chasing an approval, whoever you’re talking to.
Solid Excel or Google Sheets skills.
Bonus points for:
Experience with NetSuite or another cloud accounting system.
Experience paying suppliers in more than one currency or country.
Experience with invoice scanning or automation tools, or using AI to take manual work off the table.
Studying towards an accounting or business qualification.
How we’ll know you’re winning:
Suppliers are paid correctly and on time, every run.
No duplicate or fraudulent payments get through.
Supplier statements reconcile, and the payables ledger is clean at every month-end.
You’ve automated or removed at least one manual step in the process.
