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.

• Communicate professionally with suppliers and contractors on billing and payment schedules

Compliance & Support

• Support the Head of Finance with ad-hoc reporting and bookkeeping
• Follow company policies, procedures and Business Management System (BMS) standards

Requirements

• Experience: 2+ years in accounts payable, bookkeeping or a similar accounts role
• Systems: Strong computer literacy; MYOB or similar accounting software experience is a bonus
• Industry: Exposure to the waste management industry is a plus
• Exceptional attention to detail and accurate data entry
• Clear, professional written and verbal English

• A supportive, family-style culture alongside an existing offshore team
• Direct reporting line to the Head of Finance, with room to grow your skills
