Financial Controller (027 - 1452)

​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Financial Controller

Compensation range: $2,400 AUD - $3,000 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: Melbourne-based commercial gym equipment supplier, providing premium fitness products to leading health club networks across Australia including Snap Fitness, Jetts, Fitness First, and Goodlife. The business is in a growth phase and looking to bring marketing activity in-house under one skilled operator.

Role Overview: We are seeking a dynamic, commercially minded and hands-on Financial Controller based in the Philippines to take complete ownership of the finance and accounting function for an established Australian business. Moving beyond basic transaction processing and reporting this role calls for a proactive leader who proactively identifies risks, refines operational processes and delivers timely financial insight to drive strategy. Initially you will lead a critical systems migration from MYOB EXO to MYOB AccountRight Plus, ensuring seamless data integrity, robust internal controls and optimized reporting workflows.

This position offers exceptional career progression as the company executes an ambitious expansion across the Asia-Pacific region over the next 12 months followed by global growth. Ideal candidates will possess a strong accounting background with practical experience in Australian business practices preferably with MYOB software expertise and excel in a fast-paced SME environment. As the organization expands you will have the direct opportunity to build and lead a high-performing finance team and transition into a broader regional executive role such as Regional Financial Controller or Head of Finance.
