Intermediate Accountant (016 -1424)

​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Intermediate Accountant

Compensation range: $2,000 AUD - $2,800 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are : At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is: The client is an Australian-focused professional accounting and business support organisation that works with businesses across different industries. Their team provides bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting and broader accounting support, with a strong focus on accuracy, accountability, efficiency and professional client service. The business offers exposure to a range of Australian clients and opportunities to develop skills across end-to-end accounting and financial management.

Role Overview : We are looking for a capable and detail-oriented Intermediate Accountant to support Australian businesses with a broad range of accounting and payroll functions. This is a hands-on role covering end-to-end bookkeeping, general ledger accounting, balance sheet reconciliations, payroll processing, month-end reporting and financial analysis.

You will work across potentially multiple Australian clients and will be expected to take ownership of your work, investigate discrepancies, manage competing priorities and deliver accurate work within agreed deadlines. Previous Australian accounting experience is preferred but not essential, with training and ongoing support provided in Australian accounting systems, payroll procedures and reporting requirements.

Ultimately, we are looking for someone with a strong accounting foundation, the right attitude and the potential to develop into a dependable, well-rounded accounting professional.

Note: Performance will be assessed against agreed KPIs, including accuracy, timeliness, productivity, accountability, quality of work and client communication.

Formal performance and remuneration reviews will take place every four months. Any remuneration adjustment will be performance-based and subject to business requirements, rather than automatic.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage end-to-end bookkeeping and accounting for assigned Australian clients

Maintain accurate general ledger records and process accounts payable and receivable

Perform bank, credit card, merchant and balance sheet reconciliations

Prepare and maintain accruals, prepayments, fixed asset, loan, payroll and other accounting schedules

Investigate and resolve discrepancies, unusual balances and incorrectly recorded transactions

Prepare weekly and monthly financial reports, including P&L, Balance Sheet and budget vs actual reports

Assist with cash flow monitoring, management reporting and financial analysis

Process monthly journals and support accurate and timely month-end close

Process weekly, fortnightly or monthly Australian payroll, including leave, deductions, reimbursements and final pay

Reconcile payroll liabilities, PAYG, superannuation and related accounts

Assist with STP reporting, payroll-related BAS/IAS reconciliations and other compliance activities as required
