Role Purpose
The Accounts & Admin Executive is responsible for managing daily customer freight billings, independently verifying high-volume operational and creditor invoices, and overseeing general office administrative functions.
Because this role operates within a fast-paced freight forwarding and transport environment, the executive must possess a strong understanding of shipping terminology, costing structures, and vendor disbursements to ensure accurate financial data integrity, tight expense control, and full digital audit readiness.
Key Responsibilities1. Freight Billing & Invoicing (Accounts Receivable)
- Perform accurate daily issuance of customer invoices, debit notes, and credit notes using SQL Accounting Software.
- Cross-reference and verify billings against operational source documents, including House Bills of Lading (HBL), transport job sheets, delivery orders (DOs), container tracking sheets, and customs declarations.
- Manage complex split-billing scenarios based on international shipping terms (e.g., separating local handling charges and main freight according to FCA/FOB terms).
- Monitor outstanding customer statements and assist management with tracking collections and aging debtor reports.
2. Logistics Creditor & Supplier Management (Accounts Payable)
- Receive, track, and meticulously verify all incoming vendor invoices—including shipping lines, port authorities (demurrage, detention, storage), customs brokers, fuel suppliers, and transport sub-contractors—against agreed rates and internal job folders.
- Identify, investigate, and resolve rate or volume discrepancies with suppliers before inputting data into the system.
- Prepare payment vouchers, cheques, or online bank transfers, ensuring all required supporting documents (original vendor invoices, port receipts, POs) are fully attached, cross-checked, and organized.
3. Financial Data Entry & Reconciliation
- Execute precise, daily entry of all financial transactions and operational disbursements into the SQL system to maintain a live, up-to-date general ledger.
- Perform monthly reconciliation of supplier/liner statements against company SQL records to catch discrepancies early.
- Conduct monthly bank reconciliations to ensure system ledger balances perfectly match official bank statements.
- Assist management with month-end closing procedures, ensuring all operational job files are financially closed and locked for the month.
4. Digital Archiving & Audit Readiness
- Enforce a strict "paperless-backup" workflow by scanning all invoices, payment vouchers, port receipts, and customs documents daily into the company’s digital filing system.
- Ensure digital folders are systematically organized by job number/date and mirror physical files for instant retrieval during internal or external audits.
5. General Office Administration
- Maintain a highly organized and secure physical filing system for all corporate, legal, and financial documentation.
- Handle incoming corporate correspondence, phone calls, and coordinate general office administrative tasks.
- Provide ad-hoc administrative support to the management team to streamline daily office workflows.
