Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Accounts Payable/Receivable Officer

Compensation range: $1,500 AUD - $2,000 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

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

Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client 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.

Who The Client Is: An iconic Australian clothing brand built around a simple belief: great gear should work as hard as the people who wear it. Since 1996, the brand has created durable, practical clothing inspired by the Australian way of life, with deep roots in rural communities and an expanding presence across work, lifestyle and everyday wear.

From iconic workshirts and Australian cotton to performance Merino, denim and premium outerwear, its collections combine timeless Australian style with materials and designs made for real-world performance. The range is designed to move seamlessly between work, weekends and everyday life, while providing hard-wearing uniform solutions for businesses across Australia and New Zealand.

More than a clothing business, it is a brand connected to the people, places and stories that shape Australian life. With a strong heritage, practical mindset and commitment to continually evolving its products, the business remains focused on creating clothing that wears well, performs reliably and is built to last.

Role Overview: We are looking for a detail-oriented Accounts Payable / Receivable Officer to support the day-to-day finance operations of a well-established Australian apparel business. This hands-on role will manage invoices, payments, reconciliations, customer accounts, supplier queries and other core accounting administration across both accounts payable and receivable.

The ideal candidate is highly organised, accurate and proactive, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities. You will work closely with internal teams, customers and suppliers to ensure transactions are processed efficiently, accounts remain up to date, and outstanding matters are followed through to completion.

Key Responsibilities: 

Accounts Payable

• Collate, review and accurately record all supplier invoices.
• Ensure invoices are correctly allocated, approved and paid within required timeframes.
• Manage staff reimbursements, ensuring appropriate approvals and timely payment.
• Reconcile supplier statements and investigate discrepancies or missing invoices.
• Work with the finance team to prepare payment batches when required.
• Ensure all AP transactions are accurately recorded before month end.
• Manage non-stock AP activities.
• Support freight-inwards allocation and tracking.

Accounts Receivable

• Review customer remittance advice and accurately allocate payments against invoices.
• Monitor outstanding customer accounts and proactively follow up overdue invoices.
• Manage the customer credit application process, including contacting references and ensuring required information is provided to the business.
• Respond to and resolve customer account queries in a timely and professional manner.
• Prepare and distribute aged receivables reports to relevant internal stakeholders.
• Ensure all AR transactions are accurately recorded before month end.

Bank Reconciliations

• Review bank statements and ensure all transactions are accurately posted.
• Investigate outstanding or unidentified transactions and resolve discrepancies before month end.
• Complete relevant bank reconciliations, including non-AR and non-stock AP transactions.

Stakeholder & Finance Team Support

• Manage finance inboxes and ensure queries are responded to promptly and accurately.
• Follow up finance-related queries with other departments and ensure issues are resolved.
• Work collaboratively with Australian and Philippines-based finance team members.
• Provide a high level of internal customer service to employees and stakeholders.
• Attend regular team meetings and contribute to effective communication and strong working relationships.
• Support non-stock AP, freight-inwards allocation and tracking, and relevant bank reconciliation activities.
• Prepare and maintain clear, practical Standard Operating Procedures.
• Take on additional finance duties within the scope of the role, experience and qualifications.

Requirements

Essential

• Proven experience in an Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable or 2 years experience in a similar finance role.
• Strong understanding of AP, AR, reconciliations and general finance processes.
• Ability to work independently and contribute immediately with minimal training.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy when working with financial data.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong work ethic, reliability, honesty and professional integrity.
• Confident working collaboratively with colleagues across Australia and the Philippines.
• Strong technology and systems capability with an ability to work confidently with financial data.
• Interest in process improvement, automation, technology and emerging AI tools.
• Good energy, initiative and a willingness to take ownership.

Desirable

• Experience working with offshore or international finance teams.
• Experience developing or improving Standard Operating Procedures.
• Experience identifying process efficiencies through technology or automation.
• Adaptable approach with a willingness to learn new areas of finance.
• Comfortable taking on responsibilities outside traditional AP/AR activities.

Culture & Team

• We operate with high care for people and high accountability, supported by a strong teamwork and feedback culture. You will join an established finance team with long-tenured Philippines-based colleagues who are experienced in working collaboratively across locations. The team places a strong emphasis on communication, support and continuous improvement, with a leadership approach that values both high performance and genuine care for people.

We are looking for someone who will be a positive cultural influencer—someone who contributes to an inclusive, safe, motivated and supportive environment, while consistently demonstrating accountability and professionalism.

What Success Looks Like

• Success in this role means owning AP, AR and reconciliation processes with accuracy, consistency and minimal supervision. You will build strong relationships with stakeholders, keep finance queries moving, proactively resolve discrepancies and contribute ideas that make the team more efficient. Over time, you will also have the opportunity to broaden your finance knowledge and take on additional responsibilities beyond the core AP/AR function.

• Maintain a high standard of occupational health and safety and promptly report hazards or incidents.
• Maintain confidentiality and professional integrity when handling financial information.
• Attend work as scheduled and meet agreed deadlines.
• Demonstrate behaviour consistent with company values and the Code of Conduct.
• Undertake other reasonable duties within the capacity, qualifications and experience expected of the position.
