​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Bookkeeper & Business Support Assistant

Compensation range: $1,800 AUD - $2,500 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 a residential and commercial trade services provider specializing in electrical installations, maintenance, and repairs. As part of its continued growth, the business is expanding under a unified services brand to include refrigeration and plumbing services. They are a small, fast-growing team focused on building scalable systems and processes, with a strong commitment to operational excellence and sustainable growth.

Role Overview: We're looking for an experienced Bookkeeper & Business Support Assistant to take ownership of our day-to-day finance and back-office administration, allowing the business owner to focus on growth rather than paperwork.

You'll manage invoicing, purchase orders, and maintain accurate records in Xero and ServiceTitan.
