Job Description:

You will take ownership of the day-to-day financial reconciliation process, ensuring every transaction on the KidSoft platform lines up perfectly with the business bank records. You will be the first line of defence against payment gaps — proactively identifying failed payments, chasing overdue parent accounts, and delivering clear, actionable reports that give the business owner full visibility into fee collection health. This is a role where your attention to detail and communication skills directly protect the financial integrity of a business that families depend on.

Client Overview:

Our client is a growing childcare services business dedicated to providing quality early childhood programs for families. Operating in a fast-paced, fee-based environment, they manage a significant volume of parent transactions and require sharp financial oversight to keep operations running smoothly. With a committed owner at the helm, they are building out a reliable remote support team to strengthen their back-office functions.

Schedule:

• Monday to Friday, flexible schedule within the client’s business hours (Australian Eastern Time, 20 hours per week)

Responsibilities:

• Perform daily reconciliation between KidSoft transaction records and bank statements to ensure accuracy
• Monitor and report on failed payments, outstanding fees, and overdue parent accounts
• Generate timely financial reports to enable swift action on debt collection and late fees
• Chase outstanding invoices and follow up with parents on failed or incomplete payments
• Maintain accurate records of all debits, credits, and payment discrepancies
• Support general administrative tasks related to financial operations

Must-Have Requirements:

• Background in bookkeeping or accounting, preferably with experience in Australian businesses
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify discrepancies quickly
• Experience with transaction-based platforms and bank reconciliation processes
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for client follow-ups
• Ability to work independently and manage tasks with minimal supervision

Nice-to-Have Requirements:

• Experience with KidSoft or similar childcare management platforms is a bonus.
• Experience in debt collection or accounts receivable follow-up in a consumer-facing environment is an advantage.
• Familiarity with Australian childcare fee structures or government subsidy frameworks is a plus.

Why Join This Team:

• 100% remote role — work from anywhere with a stable internet connection
• Work directly with a business owner in a high-trust, high-impact position where your output is immediately visible
• Stable, long-term engagement with a business that has a genuine, ongoing need for your expertise
• Focused, clearly scoped responsibilities — no ambiguity about what success looks like
• Opportunity to grow within a small, dynamic childcare business as it scales its operations
