## Description

**​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates**

**Job Role:** Bookkeeper

**Compensation range:** $1,400 - $1,800 AUD  Monthly

**Engagement type:** Independent Contractor Agreement

**Work Schedule:** This role operates in alignment with Western Australian business hours (AWST, UTC+8). The Philippines and WA share the same time zone, so there's no adjustment required.  

**Important:** Some tasks — specifically Costar data exports via TeamViewer — need to be completed outside of the shop's operating hours (after 5pm AWST) to avoid disrupting in-store operations. Flexibility to manage a portion of work in these windows is required. The rest of the role (Xero reconciliation, payroll, AP/AR) can be completed during standard business hours.

**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 a well-established tyre retail and service business based in Western Australia. As part of the Tyrepower cooperative network, the business runs a lean team of five staff and is focused on improving financial visibility and operational efficiency through better use of systems and reporting.

**

The role involves working across Xero and the business's automotive management system (Costar), reconciling accounts, managing payables and receivables, and ensuring the business's financial data is clean, current, and ready for monthly reporting.

This role requires someone who is highly organised, self-directed, and comfortable working with systems that aren't fully integrated. You'll be the person who keeps the numbers tidy so the owner can focus on running and growing the business.  
  
  
**Key Responsibilities:** 

-   Reconcile accounts in Xero on a regular basis, ensuring all transactions are
-   accurately recorded

-   Prepare a fully reconciled month-end Xero file ready for upload to the business's
-   financial cockpit (EBS reporting)
-   Identify and flag any discrepancies between Costar and Xero data
-   Liaise with the head office accountant where necessary

## Requirements

-   Minimum 3 years' bookkeeping experience, ideally in a small business environment
-   Strong Xero skills, reconciliation, payroll, AP/AR, month-end
-   Comfortable with manual data entry and working with non-integrated systems
-   High attention to detail and able to work independently with minimal supervision
-   Reliable, communicative, and proactive in flagging issues
-   Confident using TeamViewer or similar remote access tools

  
**Systems & Tools**

-   Costar automotive management system — accessed via TeamViewer (training
-   provided; prior exposure a bonus)
-   Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets for data export and manipulation
-   Email and standard communication tools

  
**Work Arrangement & Expectations:**

This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.

-   Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
-   Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
