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. • 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

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. • 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

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. • 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. • Prepare and

support project delivery and business operations. • Support banking and financing relationships with accurate, timely reporting. • 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

Liaise with external accountants and auditors as required. • Drive automation and efficiency in financial processes as the business scales.

Job Requirements

  • CPA or CA qualified (or equivalent international qualification).
  • 7–12 years of management accounting experience, ideally within construction, infrastructure, energy, or project-based businesses.
  • A minimum of 3 years' experience with the Xero accounting package.
  • Demonstrated experience in quarterly and annual forecasting — revenue, cost, and resource dimensions.
  • Strong project accounting background: job costing, WIP management, margin analysis, and progress billing.
  • Proven experience producing board-level or executive business reports with narrative insights, not just financial statements.
  • Experience supporting strategic planning processes and building financial models for business decision-making.
  • Proficiency in Xero and advanced Excel / Google Sheets.
  • Hands-on experience managing or working with Procore–Xero integration (or similar construction/project management to accounting integrations).
  • Excellent written and spoken English — able to communicate clearly with Australian leadership.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary of PHP 120,000–190,000 per month (depending on experience).
  • Full-time, permanent offshore role with a fast-growing Australian infrastructure business.
  • Genuine career progression — clear path to Finance Manager / Head of Finance as the company scales.
  • Strategic, senior-level work — you will be a true commercial partner, not just a transactional accountant.
  • Direct access to Australian leadership — your insights drive real business decisions.
