JOB OVERVIEW

We are a New Zealand based accounting practice, and we are looking for a full-time Bookkeeper who has experience in Xero and Microsoft Excel. We already have two Filipinos in our team and you will be directly reporting to a Filipino CPA.

Why Work with a New Zealand Employer?

New Zealand is the home of Xero and as a country, it consistently ranks as one of the best countries in the world to work for - in terms of work-life balance, job security, and employee well-being. Employers uphold world-class professional standards and possess excellent work ethics. They prioritize a healthy work-life balance and are committed to ensuring that employees are both professionally and personally nurtured.

When you become part of our team, you'll experience these same levels of professionalism, respect, and opportunities for career growth that have made New Zealand workplaces globally renowned. The time zone difference closely aligns between New Zealand and Philippines, and the time zone difference is much lesser than compared to countries such as USA, UK or Canada.

Please mention the name of the current Deputy New Zealand Prime Minister in the subject line when you apply for the role. Your application will not be considered otherwise.

Your working hours:
This is a fully remote position so you can work from home providing you have a good internet connection. Your working hours will be NZ time 11am to 7pm with adjustment for hours for daylight savings.

Holidays / Leaves:
• We follow the Philippines official national regular public holidays
• 30 working days per year for annual and sick leave

Salary + Bonus:
• Your monthly salary will be PHP 35,000 per month paid through Wise.
• You will also get 13th month, pro-rated once you pass your 6-months probationary period.
• Your salary will be reviewed annually, subject to your performance and the company KPIs.

How to apply?

Send your resume with your cover letter.

We encourage you to also send a video recording, introducing yourself and talk about your experience and how you would add value to our team.
