About Us:

Magic Millions is Australia’s leading bloodstock sales company, delivering more than 25 prestigious sales annually across the country, including the iconic Magic Millions Carnival on the Gold Coast. Our events attract a global audience and demand excellence, agility and teamwork behind the scenes.

We are seeking an ambitious, hands-on Finance Officer to join our Finance & Accounting team. This is a varied, collaborative role supporting accounts receivable, client finance/loan management/debt collection across the full sales cycle.

About the Role:

Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will contribute to the day-to-day finance operations within a small, close-knit team, working collaboratively, sharing information, and stepping in to support colleagues as workloads change.

This role will suit someone who enjoys working closely with others, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is willing to roll up their sleeves to support the finance and accounts team, particularly during peak sales and event periods when priorities shift quickly. The ideal candidate will be confident making decisions independently and thinking ahead to anticipate team needs.

Availability to work extended hours and weekends during auction and event periods is a requirement of the role.

Responsibilities:

Accounts Receivable, Credit & Client Finance

  • Manage end-to-end accounts receivable processes, including client account setup, credit agreements and reconciliations
  • Proactively follow up outstanding and overdue accounts, managing debt collection conversations professionally and confidently
  • Support loan and settlement processes, including PPSR registrations and credit risk controls
  • Liaise with external legal representatives as required regarding credit terms, approvals and escalations
  • Prepare pay-out figures, interest reports and reconciliations
  • Support accurate release of horses once payment is confirmed
  • Manage the end-to-end AUSTRAC reporting and compliance process
  • Tracking loans via all Sales across Australian and New Zealand
  • Calculate and process interest on all ledgers
  • Create and monitor Online and Live buyers registrations
  • Create new accounts in Ardex

 Finance Support

  • Act as a reliable “go-to” within the finance team, assisting colleagues and sharing workload during busy periods
  • Step in as backup support for the Finance Manager and broader team when needed

Sale Day & Event Operations

  • Work on sale day counters receipting payments and issuing invoices
  • Support buyer sign-ups, processing of passed-in lots and Payment on Day activities
  • Monitor buyer limits and coordinate with the team when thresholds are reached
  • Assist with client and operational queries during sales

What We Are Looking For:

  • 5+ years’ experience in accounts, credit control or finance administration
  • Strong debt collection and client follow-up experience, with confidence managing sensitive conversations professionally
  • Broad accounts exposure (accounts receivable and payable), ideally gained in a small business or lean finance team
  • A strong collaborator and genuine team player, comfortable working closely with each member of the finance and accounts team
  • Willingness to share workload, step in to support colleagues and adapt responsibilities as sales occur and business needs change
  • Ability to communicate clearly, proactively and respectfully with finance colleagues, internal teams and external stakeholders
  • Highly organised, detail-focused and able to perform under pressure in fast-paced, event-driven environments
  • Flexibility to work extended hours and weekends during auction and event periods is a non-negotiable requirement of the role.
  • Availability to travel to interstate sales is a non-negotiable requirement of the role.

Desirable Experience

  • Exposure to the Thoroughbred or racing industry
  • Experience using Ardex Premier or similar finance systems
  • PPSR knowledge (or willingness to learn)
