Senior Management Accountant - 187

Position: Senior Management Accountant

Salary: PHP 120,000 to PHP 190,000/month depending on experience

Working Hours & Conditions: Mondays to Fridays; 9:00AM to 5:00PM Australian Standard Time

Holidays: Australian Holidays

OVERVIEW:

The company is seeking a Senior Management Accountant to join our team as a full-time offshore professional based in the Philippines. This is a high-impact, strategic finance role that goes well beyond traditional management accounting — you will own the full finance function, drive quarterly and long-range forecasting, support strategic planning, and be a true commercial partner to the Australian leadership team.

You will take responsibility for revenue, cost, and resource forecasting across the company's growing portfolio of energy infrastructure projects — substations, powerlines, BESS, solar, and wind — while producing the business intelligence reports that guide executive decision-making. You will also be the integration owner between Procore (project management) and Xero (accounting), ensuring seamless financial data flow across the business.

As the company is still a new business, we are looking for someone to build alongside us — designing and owning our finance systems from the ground up, and growing into a Finance Manager or Head of Finance role as the business scales.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Bookkeeping, Payroll & Transactional Finance

• Manage day-to-day bookkeeping including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and bank reconciliations.
• Process supplier invoices, employee expense claims, and credit card reconciliations.
• Maintain the general ledger and chart of accounts, ensuring accurate and timely data entry.
• Prepare and lodge BAS/GST returns and manage payroll tax obligations.
• Manage payroll processes and ensure compliance with relevant awards, employment agreements, and statutory obligations including PAYG, superannuation, payroll tax, and WorkCover.

2. Monthly Business Reporting

• Prepare and deliver comprehensive monthly business reports including profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statements.
• Produce an executive-level business performance report each month with clear narrative, insights, and recommendations — not just numbers.
• Deliver variance analysis against budget and forecast with actionable commentary for leadership.
• Produce project-level financial reporting across the full infrastructure project portfolio.
• Present financial performance insights to the Director and senior leadership team.

3. Quarterly Forecasting

• Own and lead the quarterly forecasting cycle across the business — revenue, costs, resources, and cash.
• Prepare and present quarterly forecast packs to leadership, incorporating actuals-to-date, pipeline visibility, and updated assumptions.
• Maintain a rolling 12-month and 24-month forecast model, refreshed each quarter with updated project, pipeline, and operational data.
• Identify risks and opportunities within each quarterly cycle and present clear scenarios to support decision-making.

4. Revenue Forecasting

• Build and maintain detailed revenue forecasting models by project, contract, and business segment.
• Translate project pipeline and contract milestones into forward revenue schedules.
• Align revenue recognition to accounting standards, including percentage-of-completion and milestone-based billing.
• Work with project managers to validate forecast assumptions and update revenue projections as contracts progress.
• Monitor and report on revenue actuals vs. forecast, flagging material variances promptly.

5. Cost Forecasting

• Develop and own a comprehensive cost forecasting model across labour, materials, subcontractors, overheads, and corporate costs.
• Track project cost performance against budgets and updated forecasts at a granular level.
• Identify cost overruns, margin erosion, and budget risks early — with clear analysis and recommendations.
• Prepare work-in-progress (WIP) schedules and ensure cost accruals are accurately reflected in management accounts.
• Deliver cost variance analysis with root cause commentary each month and quarter.

6. Resource Forecasting

• Build and maintain a resource forecast model covering staffing, subcontractor capacity, and project resourcing needs.
• Translate project pipeline and delivery schedules into forward resource requirements and cost implications.
• Work with project and operations teams to align resource plans with financial forecasts.
• Flag resourcing constraints, cost pressures, or capacity gaps to leadership with recommended actions.
• Support headcount planning and workforce cost modelling as the business scales.

7. Strategic Planning Support

• Support the Director and leadership team in the annual strategic planning cycle — translating strategic priorities into financial plans.
• Build financial models for growth scenarios, new project opportunities, tendering, and capital allocation decisions.
• Contribute to board reporting and investor-ready financial packs, including KPI dashboards and forward-looking financial summaries.
• Provide commercial analysis to support business development decisions — pricing, margins, bid/no-bid, and investment cases.
• Assist with ad hoc strategic analysis and financial modelling as the business grows and evolves.

8. Project Accounting

• Establish and maintain project cost centres and job costing structures.
• Track project costs against budgets, including labour, materials, subcontractors, and overheads.
• Analyse project margins and flag cost overruns or commercial risks to project managers and the Director.
• Support claims management, progress billing, and variation tracking on active contracts.

9. Cash Flow & Working Capital

• Prepare and maintain weekly and monthly cash flow forecasts to support operational decision-making.
• Monitor debtor and creditor positions, ensuring timely collections and payments.
• Manage working capital to support project delivery and business operations.
• Support banking and financing relationships with accurate, timely reporting.

10. Procore–Xero Integration Management

• Own the integration between Procore (project management platform) and Xero (accounting platform) — ensuring accurate, timely, and reliable data flow between systems.
• Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot the Procore–Xero integration, working with vendors and technical resources as required.
• Establish data governance processes to ensure project financial data in Procore aligns with the general ledger in Xero.
• Identify and resolve discrepancies between Procore project cost data and Xero financial records.
• Train and support project managers and operations team members on Procore financial data entry and coding disciplines.
• Drive continuous improvement of the integration setup as company's project portfolio and business complexity grows.

11. Finance Systems & Process Ownership

• Support the design and implementation of company's finance systems and processes from the ground up.
• Establish financial controls, policies, and procedures appropriate for a growing infrastructure business.
• Own and continuously improve the finance function — systems, reporting cadences, and workflows.
• Liaise with external accountants and auditors as required.
• Drive automation and efficiency in financial processes as the business scales.
