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.
