What changed for a client
“As a global company operating across New Zealand, Australia, the US, and the UK, we struggled with capacity constraints in our back office finance functions. [Ramp Remote] hired dedicated professionals who strategically extended our operational hours beyond the traditional 9-to-5 schedule. The results have been outstanding – we've increased output significantly while gaining the dedicated support needed for business growth”
Cameron IronsCFO, AS ColourFind the right person for the work.
What good looks like
Agree a reliable bookkeeping rhythm with your finance team. Useful measures include reconciliations completed to your timetable, an up-to-date receivables list and a month-end pack ready for your accountant.
Define who approves payments and journals, what needs escalation and who signs off the final accounts.
Assess the right fit
Our catalogue candidates are reviewed and interviewed by our team.
Discuss experience with your accounting software, transaction volume and industry. Ask the candidate to explain how they investigate a reconciliation difference, handle missing documents and prepare a month-end handover.
Agree any practical exercise with our team, using sample data. Confirm the candidate's level of responsibility and any certifications you require; do not assume every bookkeeper can provide tax advice or lodge a BAS.
From your brief to their first day.
Meet the person. Understand the cost. Start with a plan you’ve agreed together.
Tell us what you need
Share the work, experience and hours you need. You can start with a role enquiry or discuss someone you have seen in the catalogue.
Meet your shortlist
Review suitable people, discuss relevant experience and interview the candidates you want to consider. Agree any role-specific assessment with us.
Agree the hire and get started
Review the full quote, service terms and working arrangements before committing. Then plan access, handover and onboarding together.
Before you hire.
What the monthly price includesThey can prepare the figures. In Australia, BAS services provided for a fee generally require a registered BAS or tax agent. Have a registered agent confirm the scope, supervise where required, and review and lodge the work.
Agree confidentiality, equipment and access requirements before work starts. Give the person only the access their role needs, use your normal security controls and review access as responsibilities change.
Usually, yes. A bookkeeper keeps the records accurate day to day, and your accountant handles tax, advice and year-end. Good bookkeeping makes that work faster.
The starting price is a guide for a full-time hire in the Philippines. Your quote confirms the total for your chosen person, agreed hours and service arrangements.
- Experience and scope: specialist skills, seniority and the responsibilities you need affect the price.
- Hours and coverage: agree the working week, time-zone overlap and any evening or weekend needs.
- What is included: ask for the breakdown of employment costs, our service, equipment and any one-off charges, with currency and applicable taxes stated.
We confirm these details before you commit. The starting price is not a fixed quote for every candidate.
Timing depends on the brief, candidate availability, interviews and any notice period. We will agree the next update and a target start date with you once those details are clear. If the right person is not currently available, we can recruit to your brief.
- Set the controls: agree access, approvals, the chart of accounts and your reporting calendar.
- Handover one cycle: review sample transactions and work through your reconciliation and receivables process together.
- Review the first close: check accuracy, unresolved items and the handover pack with your accountant, then agree the ongoing cadence.
You can discuss a role without committing to a hire. Before proceeding, review your written quote and agreement for payment timing, currency and taxes, notice requirements, the support included and what happens if the hire is not the right fit.
We will confirm replacement arrangements and any conditions in your agreement before you proceed.
