    • About this work area

    At IKEA, our CFO function acts as a strategic partner, dedicated to optimising long-term business performance, driving good growth, and enhancing customer value. We empower the organisation to proactively grasp opportunities and take responsible risks. By seamlessly integrating robust risk and compliance frameworks, we ensure efficiency and a risk-aware culture, enabling better business decisions aligned with financial and business strategies. Our commitment is to safeguard and strengthen our people, customer relationships, assets, and the IKEA brand, securing strong financial performance within a safe, secure, and fully compliant environment.

    As the Accounting & Reporting Specialist (Order to Cash) for IKEA Australia & New Zealand, you will play a vital role providing essential accounting and reporting services that enable effective governance and safeguard our people, customers, and businesses. You will be responsible for managing the end-to-end Order to Cash processes, ensuring financial independence through accurate financial reporting, operational excellence, and compliance. In this role, you will:
    • Oversee the complete revenue cycle from customer order through to cash receipt, ensuring accurate revenue recognition in accordance with IFRS 15 and local GAAP requirements across all sales channels including retail stores, e-commerce, and business-to-business operations.
    • Manage accounts receivable processes including customer invoicing, credit management, collections, cash application, and dispute resolution to optimise cash flow and minimise aged debt.
    • Execute month-end and year-end close activities for the Order to Cash stream, including reconciliations of trade receivables, revenue accounts, customer deposits, and preparation of complex journal entries for revenue adjustments, accruals, and provisions.
    • Monitor and report on key Order to Cash metrics including Days Sales Outstanding, collection effectiveness, revenue by channel, and aging analysis, providing insights to support business decision-making.
    • Ensure compliance with Australian taxation requirements including GST accounting and reporting, whilst maintaining accurate documentation for internal and external audits.
    • Collaborate with Retail Operations, Customer Service, Commercial, and Finance teams to resolve billing issues, investigate payment discrepancies, and implement process improvements that enhance efficiency and strengthen internal controls.
    • Participate in global and local projects to standardise and automate Order to Cash processes, supporting business transformation initiatives and harmonising accounting treatments across the organisation.

    Who you are

    You have advanced knowledge of revenue recognition principles, accounts receivable management, and cash application processes specific to multi-channel retail operations. You excel at assessing, analysing, and mitigating risks in a business context, with particular expertise in credit risk, revenue assurance, and financial controls. With expertise in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), you understand how to plan, measure, and ensure financial records comply with internal and external regulations whilst ensuring value for money in organisational objectives and long-term profitable growth. You have strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret large volumes of transactional data, identify trends and anomalies, and provide meaningful insights to stakeholders. You are energised by increasing customer value, driving business success and overall results through people, and you are motivated by leading and developing people whilst living the IKEA culture and values.
    To be considered for this role you will have:
    • Formal education in accounting, preferably a Master or Bachelor degree in Economics, Finance, or Accounting, providing you with a strong foundation in financial principles and practices.
    • Proven and increasingly responsible accounting experience in similar or larger organisations with specific exposure to Order to Cash, revenue accounting, or accounts receivable functions, demonstrating your ability to manage complex financial processes in a retail or multi-channel environment.
    • Advanced knowledge of accounting principles including GAAP and IFRS, particularly IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ensuring you can maintain compliance with all relevant standards and regulations for diverse revenue streams.
    • Demonstrated experience managing end-to-end Order to Cash processes including billing, collections, cash application, revenue recognition, and reconciliations in a high-volume transaction environment.
    • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail, capable of managing multiple priorities and meeting tight deadlines during month-end and year-end close periods.
    • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to communicate in English effectively, both written and verbal, to collaborate with local and global teams and explain complex accounting matters to non-finance stakeholders.
    • Proven ability to identify process improvements and drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance efficiency and strengthen controls across the Order to Cash function.
