Job Description

This is not a basic bookkeeping role.

This is for someone who:

  • Understands job costings
  • Notices when margins are leaking
  • Knows FX treatment matters
  • Reconciles inventory properly
  • And doesn’t ignore discrepancies hoping they disappear

If you like clean numbers, tight systems, and asking the uncomfortable but necessary financial questions, keep reading.

About the Business

You’ll be supporting a growing Australian multi-entity group operating across:

  • Freight forwarding ( CargoWise)
  • Warehousing
  • Import and inventory distribution ( Unleashed)
  • Multi-currency trading environments

The business operates across several related entities, meaning accuracy, integration and visibility matter. A lot.

The Purpose of the Role

To maintain accurate, real-time financial data across multiple trading entities by managing:

  • Daily accounting ( Xero)
  • System integrations
  • Job profitability checks
  • Compliance obligations
  • Cashflow awareness

And most importantly, identifying problems before they become expensive problems.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own daily accounting across multiple entities in Xero, including reconciliations, payables, receivables and FX management.
  • Ensure 100% accurate bank reconciliations and close month-end within 5 business days.
  • Oversee CargoWise integration, including WIP, accruals, invoice exports, GST accuracy and job profitability visibility.
  • Reconcile inventory and landed costs between Unleashed and Xero, ensuring COGS and margin accuracy.
  • Monitor debtor ageing, manage cashflow prioritisation and flag out-of-terms accounts.
  • Support Australian GST coding and BAS preparation, maintaining full compliance and audit integrity.
  • Identify margin leakage, system gaps and process inefficiencies, then document and improve internal SOPs.

What Success Looks Like

  • 100% bank reconciliation accuracy
  • Month-end closed within 5 business days
  • Less than 2% invoice error rate
  • Debtor days within agreed targets
  • Accurate monthly inventory reconciliation
  • Zero compliance breaches

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years bookkeeping experience
  • Strong Xero capability
  • Experience with CargoWise and/or Unleashed (highly desirable)
  • Multi-entity experience
  • Exposure to freight, logistics or inventory-based businesses
  • Strong understanding of FX and multi-currency accounting
  • Comfortable questioning discrepancies
  • Strong written communication
  • Calm under pressure
  • Highly detail-oriented
  • Process improvement mindset

The Kind of Person Who Will Thrive Here

You:

  • Notice when something is $3.27 off
  • Don’t ignore it
  • Track it
  • Fix it
  • Then update the SOP so it doesn’t happen again

You understand that bookkeeping is not data entry. It’s financial control.

What’s In It For You

  • Hybrid working arrangement

  • Competitive salary up to ₱70,000 per month

  • HMO from Day 1 + 1 dependent (with dental cover)

  • 25 paid leave days annually

  • Day shift, weekends off

  • Supportive, commercially focused leadership

  • Modern office facilities in:

    • 29th Floor, Robinsons Cyberscape Gamma, Topaz Road, Ortigas, Pasig City
    • 26th Floor, Axis Tower One Building, Filinvest Ave, Alabang, Muntinlupa

If you’ve worked in multi-entity environments, understand job costing in freight or inventory businesses, and take pride in clean reconciliations and tight controls, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and tell us about the most complex reconciliation you’ve ever solved.
