Bookkeeper & Finance Admin - Southeast Asia

About the role

Comms8 is looking for a hands-on Bookkeeper & Finance Admin to take ownership of our day-to-day bookkeeping and finance administration across our group.

This is a practical, detail-focused role for someone who is comfortable keeping financial records accurate and up to date, reconciling accounts, processing invoices and expenses, and preparing regular finance reports.

You will support four entities across two jurisdictions and work closely with our team and accountants in the UK and Hong Kong.

Importantly, our UK and Hong Kong accountants handle all statutory filings and audit requirements. You will provide accurate records and information to support them, but you will not be responsible for owning statutory compliance or audit.

The role will initially focus entirely on finance. Once the month-end process is running accurately and consistently, the role will gradually expand to include general administrative support.

What you'll be doing

Finance & Bookkeeping

Manage day-to-day bookkeeping across four group entities

Complete regular bank reconciliations and investigate discrepancies

Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable

Prepare and issue client invoices and follow up on outstanding payments

Process and record business expenses

Prepare payroll data for UK employees and offshore contractors

Record and reconcile intercompany transactions between business entities

Produce a standard monthly finance pack

Prepare a weekly cash and aged-debtors report using an established template

Maintain accurate and well-organised financial records

Respond to queries and provide supporting information to our UK and Hong Kong accountants

Support month-end processes and help ensure the books are complete, accurate and ready for accountant review

You will not be expected to handle statutory filings or audits as these will be managed by our UK and Hong Kong accountants, giving you the opportunity to focus on maintaining accurate books and running the day-to-day finance processes well.

Admin Support

Once you have established a reliable month-end routine, the role will expand to include:

Contractor onboarding and offboarding paperwork

Vendor, subscription and business-tool administration

Document filing and record-keeping across the four entities

General administrative support for the operations team

What we're looking for

2–5 years of experience in bookkeeping, finance administration or a similar hands-on finance role

Solid experience with day-to-day bookkeeping and bank reconciliations

Experience handling accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoicing and expenses

Good understanding of month-end bookkeeping processes

Strong numerical accuracy and attention to detail

Comfortable working independently in a remote environment

Organised and consistent in maintaining records and following established processes

Confident communicating with colleagues and accountants

Good written and spoken English

Comfortable working across multiple entities and currencies

Able to work the required hours with regular overlap with our UK and Hong Kong teams

Experience preparing payroll data, handling intercompany transactions or working with international/remote businesses would be an advantage.

Working arrangement

This is a full-time contractor engagement, not an employment position.

The role is fully remote and open to candidates based across Southeast Asia.

Because you will work closely with colleagues and accountants across the UK and Hong Kong, availability during the required working hours and sufficient overlap with both teams is a mandatory requirement for this role.

Compensation

USD 500–800 per month, depending on relevant experience and demonstrated bookkeeping capability.

What success looks like

In your first few months, the priority will be straightforward: accurate books, clean reconciliations and a dependable month-end process.

Once the finance routine is running smoothly, you will begin supporting selected administrative tasks across the business.

If you are a practical, organised bookkeeper who enjoys keeping financial records accurate and processes running consistently, we'd be pleased to hear from you.
