Job Description

​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Bookkeeper & Admin Assistant

Compensation range: $1400 AUD - $1,800 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: A leading Hong Kong real estate agency specialising in unique and luxury homes. From its office in Central, the team handles sales, leasing and property management across the city's most sought-after addresses, including The Peak, Mid-Levels, Repulse Bay and Stanley.

The business is known for exceptional service, honest collaboration and smart use of technology, working with local, expat and international buyers, tenants and landlords.

Role Overview: The company is looking for a sharp, detail-driven Bookkeeper & Admin Assistant to work closely with the Head of Finance.

Your first focus is bringing order to the company's bespoke CRM management system: cleaning, organising and untangling the data so the business runs on accurate, reliable records. From there, you'll own day-to-day reconciliations across Xero and QuickBooks and become a trusted support to the finance function.

Key Responsibilities:

Initial focus: systems & data admin

• Audit and clean up data in the company's bespoke CRM-style management system
• Organise, correct and standardise records so information is accurate and easy to find
• Document simple processes that keep the system clean going forward

Bookkeeping

• Reconcile bank and account transactions in Xero and QuickBooks
• Process accounts payable and receivable, including invoices and supplier payments
• Support payroll processing alongside the Head of Finance
• Prepare month-end reconciliations and reports
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies quickly and thoroughly

Admin support

• Maintain organised financial records and documentation
• Handle general finance admin and respond to internal queries
