About the role
Job Role: Bookkeeper & Business Support Assistant
Benefits
Compensation range: $1,800 AUD - $2,500 AUD / Monthly
Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement
Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.
About the company
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.
Who The Client Is: Our client is a residential and commercial trade services provider specializing in electrical installations, maintenance, and repairs. As part of its continued growth, the business is expanding under a unified services brand to include refrigeration and plumbing services. They are a small, fast-growing team focused on building scalable systems and processes, with a strong commitment to operational excellence and sustainable growth.
Role Overview: We’re looking for an experienced Bookkeeper & Business Support Assistant to take ownership of our day-to-day finance and back-office administration, allowing the business owner to focus on growth rather than paperwork.
Initially working alongside the current Australian bookkeeper during a structured handover and training period, you will progressively take ownership of the business’s day-to-day bookkeeping, payroll, accounts and associated administrative functions. You’ll manage invoicing, purchase orders, and maintain accurate records in Xero and ServiceTitan. This is a varied role that extends beyond bookkeeping—you’ll also support operational administration and take on additional responsibilities as you grow with the business.

Have a sound understanding of the Electrical, Electronic and Communications Contracting Award [MA000025] and be able to interpret and apply relevant rates, overtime, allowances and other provisions, while escalating anything requiring further advice.
ServiceTitan

What We’re Looking For
Nice to have
We’re looking for someone who is proactive and takes ownership of their responsibilities. This role is not just about processing information provided — we need someone who can identify discrepancies, investigate issues, ask questions, communicate clearly, manage recurring tasks independently, and recognise when something needs to be escalated rather than making assumptions.
You’ll thrive if you’re proactive, eager to take ownership, and excited to grow with a business that’s expanding into new service areas. If you’re looking for a long-term opportunity where your responsibilities and impact will continue to grow, we’d love to hear from you.
Future Growth Opportunities
As the business grows, you’ll have the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities, including:
•
Managing more of the company’s finance and administration functions
•
Handling bill payments and other high-trust financial tasks
•
Supporting recruitment by screening and coordinating first-round interviews for future Philippines-based team members
As the role develops, there may also be opportunities to support aspects of Health & Safety/WHS administration. Experience with Australian workplace Health & Safety processes, documentation, and compliance administration would be advantageous, though the primary focus of the role remains bookkeeping and business support.
Work Arrangement & Expectations:
This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.
To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:
•
Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
•
Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
