Financial Controller - Remote - Independent Contractor - PH Based

Living in a Bubble sells premium campervan and outdoor accessories, direct to consumers and through marketplaces in Australia, the United States, Canada and Germany. We operate across two legal entities and five tax jurisdictions. We are a team of fourteen — two in Australia, twelve working remotely across the Philippines and elsewhere. We are small, run properly, and our bookkeeping is handled by an external firm. What we do not have is a finance professional who owns the output. Right now the CEO does all of the finance: the monthly close, five indirect tax regimes, the pricing analysis, the landed cost, the advisor coordination. It works, and it does not scale, and there is no one else who could pick it up. You would take that. Not the bookkeeping — an external firm does the bookkeeping. The layer above it: whether the numbers are right, whether the filings are on time, and whether someone other than the founder can read the business. This is a build-and-run role in a business that has never had one. You will inherit real processes that mostly work and real gaps that do not. You bring the analysis and the judgement; the CEO keeps the final call on pricing, payments, tax and structure. What you would own The monthly close. You own the calendar, the quality bar and the query queue while the external bookkeeper does the execution. Settlement reconciliation for two marketplace accounts, the consolidated group P&L across both entities, the stock take, and the year-end pack
