EXPERTISE: XERO, QUICKBOOKS ONLINE, DEXT, HUBDOC, A2X, SHOPIFY
Bank feed three months behind? Reconciliations you've been meaning to get to since Q1? That's usually where I come in.
Hi, I'm Ken Robert B. Basa, a certified virtual bookkeeper based in the Philippines, with 3+ years of hands-on experience keeping Australian small businesses' books accurate and current. I work best with founders who'd rather spend their weekend doing anything other than reconciling accounts, and who want a bookkeeper they can actually hand things to, not one they have to double-check.
DAILY & ONGOING
• Recording income and expenses straight from the bank feed — deposits, disbursements, interbank transfers, adjusting entries
• Reconciling bank, credit card, and merchant accounts (Stripe, PayPal, Wise) down to the transaction
• Creating and managing bills, sales invoices, credit notes, and purchase orders
• AR/AP follow-through: on-time invoicing, bill pay, and the polite-but-persistent follow-ups that actually get things paid
MONTH-END & BEYOND
• Full month-end close — P&L, Balance Sheet, plus a 1-page summary that doesn't need an accounting background to read
• Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping when the books have fallen behind
• Bank rules and automation via Hubdoc/Dext, so less is manual next month
• AU payroll processing (STP, superannuation, leave entitlements)
• Tax support across regions — BAS/GST record-keeping and reconciliation for AU clients, VAT return prep and record-keeping for UK clients
CERTIFICATIONS
• Xero Advisor Certified (Level 3)
• QuickBooks Online Certified ProAdvisor
• 30-Day Bookkeeping Challenge — Kajea
TECH STACK
• Xero, QuickBooks Online, Hubdoc, Dext, A2X, Shopify, Loom, Zoom, Wise, Stripe, PayPal, Slack, LastPass
WHY WORK WITH ME
• Certified in both Xero and QuickBooks, so I can slot into whatever system you're already running.
• I keep meetings to a minimum — you'll get clear written updates instead of your calendar filling up with check-ins.
• I'm looking for people I can work with long-term, not one-off cleanup jobs, so I take the time to actually learn your business.
• If I find an error, mine or not, you hear about it the same day, along with how I'm fixing it.
AVAILABILITY
• Full-Time (40 hrs/week) or Part-Time (15–25 hrs/week)
• Response time within 12 hours on business days
• Payments via Wise, PayPal, or direct bank transfer
