Copia Business Services provides growing businesses with a complete outsourced finance department, going beyond basic bookkeeping to deliver financial structure, oversight, and clarity. The team supports clients with finance operations, including accounts payable and receivable, payroll, compliance, and month-end close.
We're looking for an experienced Bookkeeper to join our growing remote team.
This isn't an entry-level bookkeeping role, and it isn't a management position either.
It's ideal for someone who genuinely enjoys bookkeeping, likes owning their own workflows, takes pride in getting the details right, and wants flexibility while still doing meaningful work.
About Copia
Copia Business Services is a boutique bookkeeping and outsourced finance practice based in Sydney. We partner with small and medium-sized businesses across Australia, providing everything from payroll and accounts payable through to month-end reporting and finance support. We are a Xero-only practice and Xero Gold Partner.
We've operated remotely for years and have built strong systems, documented processes and a supportive team culture. We value people who communicate well, take ownership of their work and genuinely care about delivering an exceptional client experience.
About the Role
You'll work across a portfolio of clients assisting with:
- Accounts payable and receivable
- Bank reconciliations
- Payroll processing (weekly, fortnightly and monthly)
- Month-end bookkeeping
- Client email management and queries
- Preparing information for BAS and financial reporting
- General bookkeeping using Xero and related software
The role will commence at around 15-20 hours per week with genuine opportunity to increase hours as both you and the business grow. We're looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career with Copia.

What Success Looks Like After six months, you'll be confidently:
- Managing your own recurring client workflows
- Processing payrolls independently
- Preparing weekly payment runs

- Identifying issues before they become problems
- Contributing ideas that improve our systems and client experience
