Accounts & Operations Officer | Work From Home | Australian Client | Xero
Own the day-to-day accounts for a small Australian business, fully remote from the Philippines.
If you like being trusted to run your own patch, this role is yours to shape. You will keep the books accurate in Xero, own accounts payable and receivable, and work closely with a manager who relies on you to get on with it.
About the Role
Our client is an established Australia-based specialist recruitment firm with a small Sydney team. They need a dependable accounts officer who can work independently and keep things moving when the manager is busy. Most of your time goes on day-to-day bookkeeping and reporting. The rest is varied administration that keeps the business compliant and organised.
What You'll Do
Book and reconcile: process contractor, payroller and vendor invoices, and complete bank and account reconciliations in Xero.
Manage AP and AR: issue placement invoices, follow up debtors and keep aged receivables under control.
Report: prepare month-end and quarter-end files and monthly budget-vs-actual and KPI packs for CFO review.
Chase the data: follow up missing timesheets, information and approvals until they are resolved.
Support payroll: help the payroll provider with pay run preparation and payroll tax lodgements.
Administer contracts and compliance: handle contracts, licence and insurance renewals, supplier contracts and document control as they come up.
Look after the team: onboarding checklists, probation and appraisal scheduling, leave tracking and light office and IT support.
Improve things: map and document finance and operations processes so nothing depends on one person.
What You'll Bring
Xero experience at a solid working level. You will complete a Xero assessment during the process.
A good understanding of AP and AR.
Confidence working independently in a small business, including handling occasional ad hoc requests.
Availability for 6:00 AM–3:00 PM or 7:00 AM–4:00 PM Philippine time.
Nice to Have
Australian finance experience, or experience in an Australian working environment.
Australian payroll exposure.
A degree in Business, Accounting or Finance.
A Diploma or Certificate in Bookkeeping, or equivalent. This is a firm priority for the client, although your hands-on experience carries the most weight.
People administration experience, and Advanced Excel and Word.
What's In It For You
100% work from home.
Training on how the business works, once you bring the Xero and Australian finance foundation.
Real autonomy. You will be trusted to run your own work and make sensible decisions.
Variety. Accounts, contracts, compliance and process improvement, not one narrow task.
Direct access to senior leadership.
