JOB OVERVIEW

Villiers & Co is hiring a full-time, remote bookkeeper based in the Philippines to manage our client accounts from day-to-day bookkeeping through to statutory accounts preparation, with scope to grow into managing a team.

About the role

You'll own the full bookkeeping cycle for a portfolio of clients — from transaction processing and reconciliations in Xero, using Dext for receipt and invoice capture, through to preparing accounts to statutory filing standard. You'll also speak directly with clients, so confident, clear communication is essential. This role has scope to grow into managing a small team as the client portfolio expands.

Responsibilities

Day-to-day bookkeeping and bank reconciliations in Xero
Processing receipts and invoices via Dext
VAT returns and management accounts
Preparing statutory accounts ready for filing
Direct client communication — queries, updates, and chasing information
Maintaining accurate, up-to-date records across all client files
Potential to lead and manage a team as responsibilities grow

Requirements

Proven experience with Xero and Dext
Solid bookkeeping-to-accounts preparation experience, including statutory accounts
Excellent written and spoken English communication skills
Comfortable liaising directly with clients (not just internal reporting)
Must have the capability/experience to manage a team
Based in the Philippines
Reliable internet and a professional remote work setup

What we offer

Full-time, remote position
$1,500–$2,200/month, depending on experience
40 hours/week, with overlap into UK working hours

How to apply

Send your CV along with:

A short personalised covering letter, including an elevator pitch on why you're right for this role
A recorded video (2–3 minutes) introducing yourself and talking through your relevant experience — Xero, Dext, statutory accounts, and client-facing work

Applications without a video will not be considered.
