AUS/PH Finance

Summary

We are looking for a highly capable Finance & Accounting Officer to take ownership of the finance operations for both Ryoss Australia and Ryoss Philippines. This role suits someone who is confident across Australian financial processes, familiar with the Philippine regulatory environment, and able to run daily bookkeeping while also driving process improvement. You will serve as the internal authority on finance matters, maintain clean and compliant financial records, and coordinate closely with our external Australian accounting firm.

Role Overview

You will handle bookkeeping, financial administration, compliance requirements, payroll coordination, reconciliations, and tax filings across two entities. You will act as the central point of truth for Ryoss' finances and ensure both jurisdictions remain compliant and optimised. You will provide forward-looking financial oversight, maintain visibility across cash flow and liabilities, and support leadership with clean and reliable reporting.

You will not prepare Australian tax returns, however you will be responsible for preparing the underlying financials, ensuring they are accurate, complete, and ready for our external accountants. You will also manage Philippine-side bookkeeping and BIR requirements, along with payroll and standard corporate filings.

Please note: applications that do not clearly outline experience with the Australian finance and taxation system in the cover letter or resume will not be considered.
