Bookkeeper

Full-cycle bookkeeping for Karnot Energy Solutions Inc. Monthly BIR filings, payroll, supplier and customer ledgers, project cost tracking, and clean monthly accounts to the Finance Manager and CEO. Reports to the Finance Manager.

This is a full-cycle bookkeeping role, not a data-entry position. You will own the accounts payable and receivable ledgers, reconcile bank accounts across entities, prepare monthly management accounts, handle BIR online filings (VAT, expanded withholding tax, and ITR), and support payroll processing with SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG remittances. You will also track costs by project — critical for a business where each installation is a discrete revenue and cost centre.

As Karnot grows, this role can progress into a Finance Manager position with team responsibility. The Bookkeeper hired now is the person who hand-builds the finance function from the ground up. That is a significant and rare opportunity for the right candidate.

• Process accounts payable (supplier invoices, purchase orders) and accounts receivable (client invoicing, collections)

• Working knowledge of SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG remittance schedules and online portals
