Davao Based Accountant

I am the director of a medium sized ecommerce agency. I am based in New Zealand but I have clients all over the world. I currently have 10 Filipino staff working in Davao, some remote and some in our office. I originally setup a Filipino team because the timezone overlapped the UK and NZ and works well for us.

We are looking for a highly diligent senior Accountant to work closely with our senior management team.

The role will involve all normal Accounting responsibilities, but specifically sending and adding both Client and Suppliers invoices to our accounts package in Xero and reconciling those entries against our bank accounts.

You will be involved with our Client Managers using reports in XERO to make sure our Clients pay in line with our credit terms.

From Xero you will be responsible for Payroll and VAT and where necessary send the necessary reports to the various Government Agencies.

At the end of each month, you will need to prepare a monthly and a cumulative yearly P&L and to discuss these results with the senior Management Team.

Also, at the end of the year you will liaise with our Accountants to help them finalise the Yearly set of Accounts.

I’d like the person to be based in Davao, so that they could come into the office for meetings if needed and network with the other team members. However I don’t expect this person to come into the office everyday.

Ultimately you will be a great experienced accountant, who is good under pressure, good at multitasking and passionate at getting the job done.

I like to think I am a good boss (who doesn’t!) and I pay for the team to have lots of group activities together for team bonding, training weekends, pizza in the office and things that help the work go smoothly.

Your written English and spoken English needs to be fluent and excellent, often you will have zoom calls with me and the team.

Ideally you would have some experience with some of the following :-

– Xero
– Book keeping
– Reconciliation
– UK and NZ Tax law and regulations
– Cashflow analysis
– Chasing invoices
