Link every purchase order, vendor bill, freight invoice, and subcontractor payment to its originating Sales Order in NetSuite — every transaction, every time, within 24 hours of entry.
Maintain the running "Actual COGS" total on each active project Sales Order.
Flag any project where actual costs exceed 90% of the quoted COGS budget — immediately, not at month-end.

Prepare draft progress claim invoices based on PM sign-off.

Track subcontractor payment timing against customer claim receipts — no subcontractor gets paid before the corresponding customer claim is submitted.
Process incoming bills and outgoing payments across all three entities.
Track customer invoices, chase overdue accounts, reconcile records.
Use supplier payment terms strategically — pay on day 28 of 30-day terms, not day 7.
Work toward auto-matching vendor bills to POs in NetSuite.
Reconcile bank accounts daily across three entities, completed by 10am AEST.
Investigate discrepancies, handle currency conversions and inter-company transfers.
Set up and maintain automated bank feeds — manual reconciliation for exceptions only.
Monthly P&L and balance sheet for all three entities within 5 business days of month-end.
AU-specific: P&L split by product-only vs. installation project revenue (two-stream reporting).
Weekly flash report data extract for the company's 40/25/15 margin dashboard.
Maintain and update a 13-week cashflow forecast weekly, with particular focus on installation project cashflow.
Flag any installation project with a negative cumulative cashflow position within 24 hours.
Process payroll across all entities (or manage the integration if a payroll service is in place).
BAS/GST (AU), Sales Tax (US), GST/HST (Canada) — all filed on time, zero penalties.
Maintain audit trails and financial records for external auditors (PKF).
Requirements
Hands-on NetSuite experience. Not "ERP experience" — NetSuite specifically. You'll be tested on this with scenario-based questions in the interview and a practical assessment before any offer is made.
Available during AEST business hours. This is a Philippines-based remote role working Australian hours.
Proactive communication. You flag problems before anyone asks. Cash issues, margin alerts, reconciliation exceptions — you surface them early. This is a remote role with minimal supervision; waiting to be chased is a dealbreaker.
Experience working across multiple entities with different currencies, tax regimes, and reporting standards (AUD, USD, CAD)
Experience linking project costs to jobs or sales orders in NetSuite (or a demonstrated ability to learn this fast — we'll test for it)
Analytical instinct — you look at project cost data and spot when something doesn't add up ("freight on this project is 3x the budget — something's wrong")
Ability to prioritise independently across competing demands from three entities, knowing that AU project cost work always comes first.
Tenacity: You chase down missing cost allocations, unresolved bank items, and overdue AR. You don't let things sit.
Mastery: You want to be genuinely excellent at NetSuite and financial operations, not just adequate.
Initiative: You suggest automation and process improvements without being asked — "Can we auto-match these POs?" is a sentence we want to hear from you.
Hungry, Humble, Smart: Hungry to own the role and deliver. Humble enough to ask when you're unsure. Smart enough to see how your work connects to the company's profitability.

Benefits
Competitive salary benchmarked to senior NetSuite bookkeeper / finance operations specialist rates in your region — not entry-level bookkeeper pay.
Paid leave — annual leave, sick leave, and Australian public holidays observed
Permanent remote work — no office attendance required, ever. You work from wherever you're most productive.
Direct access to leadership — you're not buried in a shared services centre. You work directly with the Operations Director, Project Manager, and CEO on work that visibly moves the numbers.
Real ownership of outcomes — this isn't a data entry role. You own the project margin tracking system for a growing international business. Your work shows up in the Monday review meeting every week.
Professional development — NetSuite training and certification support as the role evolves
Growth path — as the Australian installation business scales, this role grows with it. The right person becomes the financial operations backbone of the company.
