About the role
Looking for Philippines-based candidates
Job Role: Finance Officer (Bookkeeping, Payroll and Accounts Receivable)
Compensation range: $600 AUD / Weekly
Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement
Work Schedule: Flexible schedule, with capacity for approximately two hours of overlap with Melbourne business hours each working day
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 established Australian trade-services business specialising in plumbing and related field services. They operate a busy, job-based environment where finance needs to stay closely connected to job completion, purchasing, invoicing and customer payments.
The business is looking for a hands-on finance professional who can take ownership of day-to-day financial administration, strengthen accounts receivable and cash collection, and help ensure accurate financial information flows between their job management and accounting systems.
Role Overview: As the Finance Officer, you will manage the day-to-day bookkeeping, accounts receivable, accounts payable and payroll processes of the business. You will work closely with the Office Manager and business owners to keep financial records accurate and up to date, ensure invoices are issued promptly, follow up overdue accounts and identify discrepancies before they become larger issues.
This is a hands-on role rather than a purely data-entry position. You will be expected to take ownership of recurring finance processes, communicate confidently with clients and suppliers, investigate discrepancies and contribute to practical improvements in finance workflows.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Bookkeeping and financial control
Complete accurate and timely bank and credit-card reconciliations in Xero, investigate unmatched items and resolve discrepancies.
Maintain clean transaction coding, supporting records and reconciled control accounts in line with the company’s approved procedures.
Prepare BAS data, reconciliations and workpapers for final review and lodgement by the CEO; promptly escalate coding, GST or source-document issues.
Process and reconcile Stripe receipts and fees, and use Pay.com for approved payments where credit-card payment is not otherwise available and for the approved payroll workflow.
Import and reconcile Reece supplier transactions against invoices, credits, statements and the relevant jobs or cost categories.
Maintain an orderly month-end checklist and supply accurate supporting information to management when required.
2. Billing, accounts receivable and debt collection
Prepare and issue approximately 70 deposit, progress and final invoices per week from approved job information and agreed billing triggers.
Review the accounts receivable ledger regularly and follow up overdue accounts by email using agreed escalation rules and a professional, firm and respectful tone.
Send statements, payment reminders, copies of invoices and other finance correspondence to clients; record contact, commitments and disputed items.
Allocate receipts promptly, reconcile client accounts and investigate unidentified or short payments.
Work with the Office Manager and operational team to resolve invoice queries, missing job documentation, pricing discrepancies, variations and disputed charges.

- ·Practical knowledge of Australian bookkeeping and payroll workflows, with the judgement to escalate matters requiring Australian tax, payroll or employment-law interpretation.
