As APS continues to grow in size, project complexity and financial exposure, we are seeking an accomplished and commercially astute

Financial Controller (FC)

to join our leadership team and play a pivotal role in the next stage of the business.

This is a leadership opportunity

for a finance executive who can combine solid technical capability with commercial judgement, strategic thinking and the confidence to challenge assumptions. The successful candidate will strengthen APS’ financial governance, improve visibility over performance and help Management make better decisions around profitability, cash generation, project performance, risk and sustainable growth.

The Role We are seeking a high-calibre

Financial Controller

to take ownership of APS’ financial leadership, governance and commercial finance capability. Reporting directly to the General Manager / Director, you will act as a strategic financial partner to Management and ensure the business has an accurate, timely and forward-looking view of its financial position.

This is not a purely strategic-focused FC role. You will be expected to understand the detail behind the numbers, identify the operational and commercial drivers affecting performance, challenge assumptions and translate financial information into clear recommendations and action.



Your remit will span management reporting, cash flow and working capital, budgeting and forecasting, project financial performance and WIP, financial controls, compliance, systems and finance capability.

Key Responsibilities Act as a strategic financial partner to Management, providing forward-looking commercial insight, challenging assumptions and supporting major business, investment, resourcing and growth decisions with sound financial analysis and scenario modelling.

Own the integrity, accuracy, consistency and timeliness of APS’ financial and management information, including month-end reporting, P&L;, Balance Sheet, cash flow, reconciliations and clear variance commentary that explains what happened, why it happened and what action is required.

Lead cash flow and working capital management, maintaining reliable rolling forecasts and actively monitoring receivables, payables, payment cycles, tax obligations, banking arrangements and major project cash movements so risks are identified early rather than reactively.

Lead budgeting, rolling forecasting and scenario planning using realistic, driver-based assumptions, with transparent visibility over pipeline, committed work, cost base, headcount and other material financial drivers affecting business performance.

Provide strong financial oversight across active projects, including WIP, revenue recognition,



project budgets, cost-to-complete, committed costs, variations, claims, margin movement, billing and cash collection, partnering with Project and Operations leaders to address risks before they materially affect margin or cash.

Build a disciplined and scalable finance function by strengthening controls, approval authorities, systems, processes, accountability and documented procedures. Develop a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end finance function first, then identify suitable activities for delegation; by approximately Month 3, plan the structure and responsibilities of a Philippines-based finance team, with the objective of establishing and developing the team by Month 4 under clear FC oversight.

Skills & Experience Relevant tertiary qualification in Accounting, Finance, Commerce or a related discipline.

Solid experience within a project-based environment such as construction, engineering, mechanical services, industrial services or a comparable sector is highly desirable.

Solid project finance capability, including WIP, cost-to-complete, revenue recognition, margin analysis, committed costs, variations and project cash exposure.

CA, CPA or equivalent skilled accounting qualification is strongly preferred.

Significant senior finance leadership experience, ideally as a FC, Financial Controller, Head of Finance or equivalent senior commercial finance leader with demonstrated readiness to operate at FC level.
