Job Description

Payroll Accountant

Philippines (Remote)

Not all heroes wear capes — but plenty of them use toilet paper

Want to challenge yourself at a purpose-led scale up AND make a difference in the world? Come join the revolootion!

Funny name, serious business

We are a leading eco-friendly household essentials business and we donate 50% of our profits to help everyone gain access to clean water and a toilet. As of June 2024, we’ve contributed over $18 million AUD to this mission. Basically, we’re really good at making it easy to do good.

We operate scaling businesses in the UK, US, and Australia (Canada, soon). Our amazing team is based in Australia, the UK, the Philippines, China, and the US. Our 250+ people work to make the biggest possible impact for people and the planet. Over the next 5-10 years, we’re hoping to increase our annual donation tenfold to get us closer to our dream of everyone in the world having access to clean water and sanitation services.

As a genuine remote-first company, we lean into being a high-functioning distributed team. We recognize some people achieve maximum productivity and work-life balance being fully remote. We have a strong culture of trust, and we love to deliver and delight!

Our engagement surveys (thanks Culture Amp!) tell us that our team is really proud (95%) to work for Who Gives A Crap and, well, we couldn’t be more proud of that.

A bit about the role

We’re on the lookout for a detail-loving, spreadsheet-hugging Payroll Accountant to join our mighty Number Scrunchers team! You’ll play a key role in making sure our PH & US crew members are paid accurately and on time—every time. This role is all about keeping things humming smoothly in payroll land, supporting onboarding, compliance, terminations, and even getting stuck into system improvements alongside our P&C and Legal teams. You’ll report to our Financial Accountant – Payroll Lead and work closely with folks across the business to help us level up our global payroll processes.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering—yes, we really are a toilet paper company that does good. We donate 50% of our profits to help ensure everyone has access to clean water and a toilet. So when you’re sorting out payroll, you’re also helping change the world. Cool, right?

If you worked here this past month here are some things you might have been involved in

• Finalised a payroll run with our external partner and double-checked that everyone was paid on time and without a hitch.
  
• Drafted an SOP with Number Scrunchers and P&C to lock in our control processes and approval flow—goodbye chaos, hello clarity.
  
• Did a deep dive into potential payroll platforms that could scale with our growing global team (hello, future-proofing).
  
• Managed payroll entries in NetSuite with hawk-like attention to detail, making sure everything reconciled beautifully.

Let’s talk about you

You’re someone who takes pride in precision. You know your way around payroll processes and systems (ADP, Celergo or NetSuite? Even better!), and you’ve got a knack for keeping things organised even when the requests are flying in from all directions. You ask smart questions, suggest process improvements, and can juggle compliance with care. You’re the type to spot a discrepancy before it causes trouble and calmly sort it out like a pro.

You enjoy working across teams, collaborating with P&C, Legal and Finance like it’s second nature. You’re curious, proactive, and always looking for ways to streamline, simplify, and sharpen the way we do things. You’re happy owning your space but you’re also not afraid to say, “Hey, I need a hand.”

Most importantly, you’re keen to do meaningful work, surrounded by passionate people, at a company that gives a crap.

You give a crap

Do you want your work to make the world a better place? Do you want to work with other people who feel the same way? What a coincidence — us too!

What’s in it for you?

• Genuine culture of collaboration: We’re a small team, so there’s a lot of room to develop your unique identity and path within the company.
• We’ll encourage you to work across disciplines and broaden your horizons while helping you grow.
• The freedom to act on good ideas, quickly. We’ll help you get there!
• Generous leave policies – including “Life” Leave.
• Remote-first culture. 
• Work From Home stipend, professional development budgets.

You give a crap!

As a certified B Corp, we work to make a difference every day while maintaining the highest standards of social and environmental impact. With our most recent score of 125.5, we’re in very good company with other exceptional B Corps around the world.

Have you made it this far?

If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person.

Here’s the thing, though — research suggests that 60% of women and underrepresented folks might have already talked themselves out of applying. Even if you don’t check every box above, we want to encourage you to introduce yourself.

We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the closer we are to delivering toilets and clean water for all.
