Bookkeeper (025-1379)

​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Bookkeeper

Compensation range: $1,500–$1,800 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: Our client is an Australian-owned business operating in the construction supply sector, providing specialised products, equipment and practical solutions used across concrete and related outdoor construction projects. The business works closely with contractors and industry professionals, with a focus on practical innovation, product reliability and solutions that improve efficiency on site.

Role Overview: We are looking for a genuinely top-level Bookkeeper with exceptional Xero skills and strong Shopify experience to manage day-to-day reconciliation work and maintain accurate financial records. This is a hands-on role for someone with outstanding attention to detail who can work independently and take ownership of their work.

We’re not looking for someone who simply processes transactions. The ideal candidate is commercially minded, understands what the numbers are telling them, can spot discrepancies or potential issues, and takes action rather than waiting to be told what to do. They should be confident questioning unusual transactions, investigating problems and finding practical solutions.
