Accountant / Financial Controller — AU Client
💰 Salary Package: Up to ₱100,000
We're hiring an experienced Accountant / Financial Controller to take ownership of the finance function for an established Australian security, facilities management and franchising group. Reporting directly to the CFO and CEO, you'll lead a small offshore accounts team, keep the books accurate and current, and drive the cash-flow discipline the business runs on.
This is not a basic bookkeeping role. You'll own day-to-day finance, oversee Australian payroll, lead debtor collections, and work directly with the client's leadership and external accountants. It's a long-term, full-time seat for someone who wants real ownership and direct client access.
What You'll Do:
- Maintain accurate, current accounting records in QuickBooks Online across multiple entities
- Prepare weekly cash-flow forecasts and monthly management reports (P&L, balance sheet, debtor and creditor ageing, variance analysis)
- Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, intercompany and key balance-sheet accounts
- Oversee Australian payroll, ensuring PAYG, superannuation, leave and Fair Work requirements are met
- Lead the Accounts Receivable function with disciplined debtor follow-up and collections
- Supervise the Bookkeeper, AR Officer and Payroll Officer, setting priorities and standards
- Support month-end and year-end close
- Prepare schedules and documentation for BAS, tax and year-end work with external accountants
What We're Looking For:
- Degree in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline
- CPA, CA, ACCA or equivalent strongly preferred
- At least 5 years in a senior accounting, finance manager or financial controller role
- Practical knowledge of Australian accounting, payroll, GST, BAS, PAYG and superannuation
- Strong hands-on QuickBooks Online experience
- Previous people-management experience leading a finance or accounts team
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Advanced Excel or Google Sheets
Nice to Have:
- Experience in security, facilities management, cleaning, franchising or other multi-site service businesses
- Experience working directly with external Australian accountants
- Exposure to shift-work or labour-intensive payroll environments
🖥️ Work Setup:
- Fully remote
- Schedule: Day shift aligned to Australian business hours (AEST/AEDT), Monday to Friday
- Must have a reliable work-from-home setup
