AU Intermediate Bookkeeper - Fully Remote

Tired of bookkeeping roles that feel like a revolving door? At Holden Accountants, you'll join a close-knit, multi-generational firm that's been trusted by Australian clients since 2005 and you'll be treated as a genuine part of the team, not just an offshore resource.

If you know your way around Xero, understand BAS and payroll, and want a permanent work-from-home role with real career runway, we'd love to hear from you.

About Holden Accountants

Founded in 2005 through the merger of two established practices, Holden Accountants has grown steadily ever since through acquiring smaller firms and, more importantly, through word of mouth from happy clients. Three generations of the same family have worked in this business, and that says a lot about the culture you'd be joining.

We're not a firm that just crunches numbers. We believe great accounting means real engagement building relationships with clients and delivering commercial advice that helps them grow. Our team of 10, based in Perth, is guided by a simple philosophy: go beyond expectations and become the trusted advisor every client deserves.

Our values: Trust · Integrity · Success · Motivation · Respect · Excellence

The Role:

We're looking for an experienced, detail-driven bookkeeper based in the Philippines to support our Australian client base as part of our growing remote team. You'll handle end-to-end bookkeeping with real autonomy, while still having a collaborative, experienced team around you to lean on.

This is the ideal next step for someone who already knows Australian bookkeeping inside and out, works confidently without handholding, and wants to keep growing their expertise alongside a firm that values long-term relationships over quick turnover.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Full-cycle bookkeeping in Xero (occasional MYOB or QuickBooks)
• Bank and credit card reconciliations
• Data entry from bank feeds, source documents, and client uploads
• Accounts payable and receivable
• IAS and BAS preparation (reviewed and lodged by a senior accountant)
• Journal entries and end-of-month adjustments
• Assisting with payroll and STP filings
• Supporting the migration of client files from MYOB to Xero
• Helping refine and document workflows for the wider team
• General admin support and ad hoc reconciliations

What We're Looking For:

• 2+ years' experience in an Australian public practice environment
• Solid grasp of Australian bookkeeping standards, BAS/IAS, and payroll
• Confidence with Xero (MYOB and QuickBooks knowledge is a bonus)
• Sharp attention to detail and strong self-management
• Clear, friendly communication skills written and spoken
• A proactive, solutions-first mindset
• Comfortable juggling multiple client files in a remote setting
