Bookkeeper (AUS) - PH Based

About Proforma

Proforma is an established Australian public accounting practice providing tax, accounting, and advisory services to a diverse portfolio of Australian businesses and individuals. Our growing team values accuracy, professionalism, and genuine client relationships.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Bookkeeper based in the Philippines to join our remote team on a full-time basis. This is a permanent work-from-home position, working Monday to Friday during Australian business hours (AEST).

Working closely with our Australian accountants and directly with our clients, you will deliver accurate bookkeeping, payroll processing, and compliance services across a portfolio of client accounts. You will be a key part of the team, not a contractor on the side.

This is a long-term position with real career progression for the right person. If you take pride in getting the details right and thrive in an environment where you can work independently while being part of a supportive team, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

•        Day-to-day bookkeeping across Xero and MYOB (AccountRight and MYOB Business).

•        BAS and IAS preparation, lodgment, and GST reconciliations.

•        Accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll processing.

•        Bank, credit card, loan, and balance sheet reconciliations.

•        Assist with financial statements, management reports, and year-end working papers.

•        Maintain accurate and up-to-date client records.

•        Client liaison to resolve bookkeeping queries professionally and promptly.

•        Work collaboratively with the accounting team to ensure deadlines are met.

What You'll Bring

•        3+ years' bookkeeping experience working with Australian businesses.

•        Strong Xero and MYOB skills (desktop and online).

•        Solid understanding of Australian GST, BAS, IAS, Superannuation, STP, and payroll compliance.

•        Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal).

•        Diploma in Accounting or equivalent qualification.

•        Strong organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail.

•        Ability to work independently while managing multiple clients and deadlines.

•        Reliable high-speed internet connection and a suitable home office setup.

Bonus Points

•        Experience using HandiTax and BGL software.

•        Experience preparing year-end workpapers for accountants.

•        Previous experience working in an Australian public accounting firm.

•        Strong Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office skills.

•        Ability to identify and resolve reconciliation discrepancies with minimal supervision.

What's In It For You

•        Competitive salary of ₱60,000–₱70,000/month based on your experience and qualifications.

•        Long-term, stable role with genuine career progression.

•        Permanent work-from-home arrangement — no commute, no office politics.

•        Ongoing training and mentoring from experienced Australian accountants.

•        A professional, supportive team that values your contribution.

•        Monday to Friday schedule aligned with Australian business hours — weekends off.

This role is open to candidates based in the Philippines only.
