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.

Requirements:
• Minimum 2 years of hands-on Xero bookkeeping experience in a real work environment. We are looking for candidates who have actually used Xero on a daily basis. Xero certification, online courses, or practice/training alone will not be considered sufficient.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and spreadsheets and financial reports
• Strong understanding of accounting principles and practices.
• Attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to work independently and meet deadlines.
• Proficiency with AI tools and technology to improve bookkeeping efficiency.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Karbon software experience is a plus.

Ideal, but not mandatory:
- You have prior BPO and/or accounting firm experience, handling multiple clients.
- Experience working with either New Zealand or Australian based clients.

Responsibilities:
• Maintain and update financial records, including ledgers, invoices, receipts, and payments.
• Perform regular reconciliations of bank statements, credit card statements, and accounts.
• Process weekly, fortnightly or monthly payroll
• Generate accurate financial reports and statements.
• Assist in preparing tax returns and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
• Utilize AI tools to enhance accuracy and efficiency in bookkeeping tasks.
• Liaise with internal tea ---------- mbers and external clients through email, online video meeting, and/or phone calls.

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 in the subject line when you apply for the role if you have "With Xero Experience". 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.

Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled.
