## Description

**​​Looking for Filipino (Philippines-based) candidates**

**Job Role:** Financial Controller[](https://www.yetch.studio)

**Compensation range:** $1,800 - $2,500 AUD/month

**Engagement type:** Independent Contractor

**Work Schedule:** This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9.00 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 directly hire top 5% remote talent in the Philippines. You will be hired directly by the client, typically 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 a fast growing founder-led business operating across the digital content, ecommerce, and creative brand space. The business manages multiple revenue streams including content/media operations, online product sales, and brand-focused creative services. They are highly systems-driven and focused on building scalable financial and operational processes to support continued growth across international markets.

The team values autonomy, accountability, proactive problem-solving, and strong operational thinking. This role will work closely with the CEO and become a key part of maintaining visibility and control across both business and financial operations.

**About the Role**

We are looking for a highly capable and proactive Financial Controller to support a growing multi-business operation spanning ecommerce, digital media, and brand studio services.

This is not a traditional bookkeeping-only role. We are seeking someone who can operate as a hybrid Financial Controller, Senior Bookkeeper, and Finance Operations Manager who is comfortable managing both strategic financial processes and hands-on operational finance tasks.

You will oversee financial administration across multiple entities while also supporting founder-level financial coordination and operational workflows. The ideal candidate is highly autonomous, detail-oriented, systems-minded, and able to take ownership quickly with minimal hand-holding.
