Active Pooling - AU Accountant

We're looking for PH-based candidates only**

Job Role: AU Accountant

Engagement type: Employee of Record (EOR) or Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA)

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time. If hired through EOR, the client will determine the working hours.

Who We Are:
At Hunt St, we help Australian companies directly hire top 5% remote talent in the Philippines. You will be hired directly by the client, typically 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.

About This Posting — Active Talent Pool:

This is not a vacancy for a specific client just yet, and that's intentional.

We are building an active talent pool of skilled Senior Accountants with Australian accounting experience so that when an AU-based client comes to us looking for someone like you, we can move fast and match you immediately.

If you have solid AU accounting knowledge and are open to exciting remote opportunities with Australian firms, we'd love to have you in our pool. There's no pressure, but when the right role comes up, you'll be the first to know.


About the Role:

We are looking for experienced Senior Accountants who are comfortable handling end-to-end accounting functions for Australian clients. The ideal candidate must have experience supporting Australian clients, strong proficiency in accounting systems and software, and the ability to work independently in a fully remote setup.

Roles matched from this pool typically involve financial reporting, tax compliance, bookkeeping oversight, and client communication, across a range of Australian SME clients in advisory and accounting firms.

What We're Looking For

  • Solid experience in Australian accounting and tax compliance (BAS, GST, IAS, FBT, income tax)
  • Proficiency in at least one of: Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deadlines independently
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication
  • CPA/CA qualification is a plus but not required
  • Experience working with an Australian accounting or advisory firm

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to BGL software
  • CPA/CA certified or currently working towards it
