General Administration & Bookkeeping Support
Remote — Philippines-Based Applicants Only | Supporting an Australian Electrical Contracting & Consulting Business

About the Business
We are a small, Australian-based electrical contracting and consulting company. As our business grows, we need a reliable, detail-oriented administration and bookkeeping support person to help keep our finances, accounts, and office running smoothly — with the flexibility to work remotely from the Philippines.

The Role
This role starts at 2 days per week, with a clear path to expanding to 5 days per week (full-time) in the near term as your workload and our business needs grow. You will work directly with the business owner, handling day-to-day bookkeeping, payroll, creditor management, and general administrative support, plus acting as backup phone cover on your rostered days.

Key Responsibilities

• Process payroll accurately and on time

• Manage accounts payable (creditors) — entering, reconciling, and scheduling supplier payments

• Perform basic bookkeeping and data entry in MYOB or Xero

• Prepare end-of-month statements and reports ready for BAS lodgement

• Follow up on outstanding customer accounts and chase overdue payments

• Provide backup telephone answering and call handling on rostered days

• General administrative support as required (filing, correspondence, data management)

What We're Looking For

• Fluent written and spoken English

• Demonstrated competence in MYOB or Xero (please specify which in your application)

• Solid, practical bookkeeping skills — payroll, accounts payable/receivable, bank reconciliation

• Confident with spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets)

• Comfortable with telephone-based customer contact and follow-up

• Reliable home internet connection and a quiet workspace suitable for phone calls

• Prior experience supporting an Australian business or client is an advantage

Hours & Schedule

• Starting schedule: 2 fixed days per week, to be agreed

• Hours: 8:30am – 4:30pm Australian Eastern Time (approx. 6:30am – 2:30pm Philippine Time; this shifts around one hour earlier during the Australian daylight-saving period, October–April, depending on the client's state)

• Growth path: this role is expected to expand to 5 days per week (full-time) relatively soon as the working relationship develops

Compensation & Equipment

• Rate: AUD $100 per day, paid for each day worked (open to discussion for the right candidate as the role expands to full-time)

• Equipment: a laptop and VoIP telephone connection will be supplied for the role

• Payment via international transfer in AUD or PHP equivalent, to be agreed

How to Apply
Please send your CV along with a short cover note that includes:

• Your experience with MYOB and/or Xero

• Your experience with payroll and accounts payable/creditors

• Your availability to start, and your preferred 2 working days per week

• Confirmation you can work the 8:30am–4:30pm AEST schedule from the Philippines
