Filipino Bookkeeping VAs for Australian Accountants

Yes. Every finance VA is Xero or MYOB certified before placement (most are certified in both). They handle daily reconciliation, AP/AR, payroll, BAS prep, and month-end work for businesses across construction, retail, professional services, hospitality, and ecommerce.

They prepare BAS. They don't lodge as the registered agent, that stays with you or your BAS agent. They reconcile GST coding, prepare the BAS report, flag exceptions, and have it ready for your sign-off and lodgment. This usually cuts your BAS prep time by 80%.

Standard. They run weekly/fortnightly/monthly payroll in KeyPay, Xero Payroll, MYOB or similar. Award interpretation (basic), super, PAYG, STP submission, payslips, leave accrual updates. They escalate award/legal grey areas to you or your accountant.

Yes, and this is one of the highest-impact things they do. They run your overdue invoice cadence (1st reminder at 7 days, 2nd at 14, etc.), make follow-up calls if you want, set up payment plans, and escalate disputes. Most clients see debtor days drop 30-50% within 90 days.

From $1,958/month for a junior-mid bookkeeper. Senior bookkeepers with payroll, BAS, and multi-entity experience run up to $2,650/month. Compare to a local bookkeeper at $70-90/hr or $80k+/year for a full-timer. All figures are all-inclusive (incl. GST) and indicative, exact rate confirmed on a discovery call.

Yes. Every finance VA goes through StaffPilot's Australian Tax and GST Onboarding before placement: coding rules, BAS structure, FBT basics, super, payroll tax thresholds, STP. They're not licensed tax agents (they don't give tax advice), but they handle the data work that feeds your accountant or BAS agent.

Most clients use them this way. The VA does the day-to-day bookkeeping; your accountant does year-end, tax planning, and advisory. The accountant typically loves it because the data they receive at year-end is clean and current.

All VAs sign Australian-standard NDAs. They access your accounting software via your own logins (role-based permissions you control), not shared credentials. We use 2FA on every login. Access is revoked instantly if a VA ever leaves your team.
