They keep what you owe suppliers and what customers owe you accurate, coded and moving on your timetable.

Which software do they use?
Payables and receivables work usually sits in an accounting package such as Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, with Dext or Hubdoc for capturing bills and Excel for ageing and statement checks. Each profile lists the software that person has used, so you can pick someone who already knows yours.

What good looks like
Agree measures that suit your business, such as bills coded and ready for approval to your timetable, payment runs prepared for release on the day you choose and an ageing report that is current at each month-end.
Define who approves bills and payment runs, who authorises credit notes and write-offs, and who can change supplier bank details.
Assess the right fit
Our catalogue candidates are reviewed and interviewed by our team.
Discuss experience with your accounting software, monthly invoice volume and industry. Ask the candidate to explain how they handle a bill with no purchase order, a duplicate invoice or a supplier asking to change bank details.
Agree any practical exercise with our team, using sample data. Give the candidate only the access the role needs, and keep payment release and bank detail changes with someone in your business.

How do I fill my Accounts Payable & Receivable Officer role in the Philippines?
Start with a brief for your Accounts Payable & Receivable Officer role: the responsibilities they will own, the systems they will use and the working hours you need to overlap with your team in New Zealand or Australia. Meet candidates against that brief and agree the total monthly cost before choosing a start date.
With Ramp Remote, we employ and support your person in the Philippines. You provide the business context, set priorities and review their work. Start with one clear responsibility and a named manager, then expand the role as the handover takes hold.
Before you hire.
What the monthly price includesThe 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, approval limits, coding rules and your payment run timetable.
- Handover one cycle: work through a sample of bills, one payment run and one receivables follow-up together.
- Review the first close: check coding, the ageing reports and any open queries, 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.
