• Coordinate monthly invoice preparation, verification, supporting documentation, client approvals, and invoice submission.
• Track unbilled revenue, pending invoices, outstanding payments, and delayed customer approvals.
• Review employee timesheets, hour journals, mobilization records, employee codes, billing categories, and sales rates in ERP.
• Coordinate with Operations and Payroll teams to ensure manpower costs and billable hours are accurately recorded.
• Monitor purchase orders, contract values, amendments, extensions, renewals, and balance consumption.
• Maintain accurate commercial records for manpower contracts, employee deployments, client rates, and project costs.
• Prepare monthly management reports highlighting budget variances, financial risks, margin performance, and corrective actions.
• Support cost optimization initiatives and recommend measures to improve project profitability.
• Ensure compliance with contractual terms, internal financial controls, company policies, and client requirements.
• Coordinate closely with Project Managers, Operations Managers, Finance, Payroll, Recruitment, Procurement, clients, and other internal stakeholders.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Commerce, or a related field.
• Minimum 8-10 years of relevant experience in project finance, commercial operations, accounting, or financial analysis.
• Proven experience in the manpower supply, staffing, workforce outsourcing, facilities management, or similar service-based business model.
• Strong practical experience in budget-versus-actual analysis, financial variance analysis, reconciliation, forecasting, and project profitability reporting.
• Good understanding of manpower-related cost components, including salaries, overtime, allowances, accommodation, transportation, visas, recruitment, travel, and employee mobilization costs.
• Experience in timesheet-based invoicing, revenue recognition, client billing, payroll coordination, and project cost tracking.
• Strong experience in contract value tracking, purchase orders, invoicing, collections, and financial reporting.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and other MS Office applications.
• Experience with Dynamics 365, ERP systems, Power BI, or similar financial reporting tools will be an advantage.
• Strong analytical, numerical, reconciliation, reporting, and problem-solving skills.
