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.
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.
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
- Bonus if you have prior experience working with KidSoft or similar childcare management platforms
- It helps if you have experience in debt collection or accounts receivable follow-up in a consumer-facing environment
- Bonus if you have familiarity with Australian childcare fee structures or government subsidy frameworks
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
