Job description

Accountant with strong Xero skills and a real grip on Australian compliance is worth its weight. This role puts you in full control of the financials for an accounting and bookkeeping practice — owning the numbers end-to-end, not supporting someone else's work.

THE ROLE

This is a dedicated, full-ownership accounting role embedded within an accounting, financial reporting, and bookkeeping operation. You will manage the complete financial cycle — from daily reconciliation and payroll through to month-end close and management reporting — for a business that runs on precision and trusts you to deliver it. The client does not want a task-taker; they want someone who can walk into a set of books, assess what they are looking at, and take charge.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Perform daily bank reconciliation and maintain accurate, up-to-date records within Xero
• Manage accounts receivable end-to-end, including active and structured collections follow-up
• Process accounts payable and manage ongoing supplier relationships
• Run weekly payroll and superannuation processing in full compliance with Australian obligations
• Operate direct-debit billing through GoCardless, ensuring clean and timely processing
• Lodge monthly BAS and execute a thorough month-end close process
• Produce a management reporting pack for business owners that gives them a clear and accurate picture of financial performance

WHAT YOU BRING

• Strong working proficiency in Xero, with demonstrated experience across reconciliation, payroll, and reporting functions
• Solid, working knowledge of Australian GST and BAS obligations — you have lodged BAS before and you understand the compliance requirements without needing to be walked through them
• Payroll compliance experience under Australian requirements, including superannuation processing
• Hands-on experience with direct-debit billing platforms, ideally GoCardless or a comparable tool
• The ability to independently assess the condition of a set of books, identify what needs fixing, and execute a remediation plan without waiting for direction
• A self-directed, proactive working style — you operate with high autonomy and take ownership of outcomes

WORK ARRANGEMENT

This is a full work-from-home role. You will work from your own home office, and you must have a quiet, dedicated workspace and a reliable internet connection to be considered.

WHY STAFF X

Staff X is a certified Great Place to Work employer in the Philippines for multiple consecutive years. Benefits include:

• HMO health insurance
• Dental plan
• Company-provided laptop or desktop computer
• Free training and professional development policy
• Regular social events and team activities
• Employee wellness program
• Exposure to clients in Australia, the US, and the UK

Staff X offers long-term, stable employment with genuine career growth.

COMPENSATION

Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus the full Staff X benefits package.

COMMITMENT

This is a full-time, dedicated role.

The client and Staff X invest heavily in onboarding, training, and integrating this person into a long-term team.

We are looking for someone who is ready to commit fully, not someone exploring a side arrangement, managing multiple clients, or running parallel freelance work.

If you are currently freelancing and not ready to step into a single dedicated role, this is not the right opportunity for you.

If you have a full-time job and are looking for a second income, please do not apply.

The right person for this role genuinely wants a stable, long-term career with a single employer who invests in their growth.

This is a permanent position. We hire people we intend to keep for years, not months.
