在会计求职，尤其是学生会计求职时，Bookkeeper类工作最为基础，而Bookkeeper类工作以“Accounts Payable”以及“Accounts Receivable”，也就是常说 的“AP”“AR”类工作最为常见。

    虽然AP和AR职员的总体目标是协助管理公司的财务或会计部门，但每个职位都有独立且不同的职责。

    AP代表公司管理发出的账单和发票。这些账单可能包括公用事业付款，产品或库存发票，员工费用账户和报销。在一些公司中，AP职员也可能需要协助工资发放。具体职责包括：

• Updating and maintaining records of expenditures

• Sending out payments for company credit cards

• Responding to vendor invoices

• Ensuring that all payments are made in accordance with company policy

• Ensuring that all payments are sent on time

• Resolving payment discrepancies and disputes on behalf of the company

    AR则代表公司管理收款。AR职员日常则需要进行以下工作内容：

• Preparing and mailing invoices to customers

• Posting payments to customer accounts

• Organizing and filing deposit receipts as invoices are paid

• Preparing reports on delinquent accounts and customer payment profiles

• Reconciling cash receipts and deposits

• Analyzing financial records for accuracy

    AP,AR为会计工作之根本，虽然日常工作以Data Entry为主，但绝不仅限于大家想的那么简单，其中还将涉及到的MYOB,XERO,EXCEL等各类软件的应用，大家在这两类工作求职中切勿大意，还是要好好准备才是！

    在澳洲，Payroll属于一个独立的分支，不同于AP/AR，Payroll工作有着“低门槛高薪资”的特性，对于会计基础较为薄弱的小伙伴们来说不愧为上佳之选。

    Payroll专业人员负责处理工资单，汇出工资税和政府报告，以及编制月度，季度和年终薪资报表等。其主要工作内容如下：

• Ensuring all payroll transactions are processed efficiently

• Collecting, calculating, and entering data in order to maintain and update payroll information

• Compiling summaries of earnings, taxes, deductions, leave, disability, and non-taxable wages and reporting on this

• Determining payroll liabilities by calculating employee federal and state income, social security taxes, employer's social security, unemployment, and workers compensation payments

• Resolving payroll discrepancies

• Maintaining payroll operations by following policies and procedures

• Developing ad hoc financial and operational reporting as needed

    Payroll工作强度根据公司规模及薪资制度而有所不同，例如有些澳洲企业的工资支付周期是以“week”来计算的，那么该公司的Payroll team就会相对辛苦一些，每周都要进行上述工作，但同样的薪资也会更高一些。在澳洲，普通Payroll officer的工资可达到70k~80k per year,绝对的高薪工作了。Payroll工作“钱途”十分可观。

    大家都知道，致力于通过独立技术移民换取PR的留学生们，想要得到“工作经验”的5分，只做Bookkeeper是无法通过职业认证的。留学生想要通过会计工作经验拿到移民加分，一定要努力争取到Assistant Accountant，也就是“AA”的职位。那么，AA职位的日常工作又包含哪些内容呢？

   AA主要通过准备预算，维护报告，完成公司的基本簿记和会计职责来为公司财务及管理团队提供支持，。

AA的日常工作职责:

• Preparing financial documents such as invoices, bills, and accounts payable and receivable

• Completing purchase orders

• Managing payroll

• Completing financial reports on a regular basis and providing information to the finance team

• Assisting with budgets

• Completing bank reconciliations

• Entering financial information into appropriate software programs

• Managing company ledgers

• Processing business expenses

• Coordinating internal and external audits

• Verifying balances in account books and rectifying discrepancies

• Verifying bank deposits

• Managing day-to-day transactions

• Recording office expenditures and ensuring these expenses are within the set budget

• Assisting the finance department and senior accounting staff members with various tasks, including preparing budgets, records, and statements

• Posting daily receipts

• Preparing annual budgets

• Completing the year-end analysis

• Reporting on debtors and creditors

• Handling accruals and prepayments

• Managing monthly budgeting tasks

• Encoding accounting entries for data processing

• Sorting financial documents and posting them to the proper accounts

• Reviewing computer reports for accuracy and meticulously tracing errors back to their source

• Resolving errors in financial reports and correcting faulty reporting methods

    大家不要被这长长的Daily Duty List所吓倒了，AA的工作主要就是对AP/AR等工作进行整理分析，并汇总给Financial Manager等，以便公司进行财务状况分析及决策等。所以，想要做AA工作的小伙伴，对AP/AR,Payroll工作也要有一定的了解才行哦~
