Job Description

Posted on: August 26, 2025

Tired of crunching the same numbers on repeat?Ready to see how your skills actually drive projects forward?Looking for a change, a new challenge?We know you’re out there.

At Palaris we’re always on the hunt for our next “unicorn” - someone who can juggle deadlines, carry their “to-do list” everywhere, keep others organised (even when it feels like herding cats), and still maintain a sense of humour along the way. The kind of person who’s mastered the art of looking calm… gliding like a duck on the surface, whilst paddling hard underneath during month-end invoicing - and who loves the sense of accomplishment when everything is finished and sent.

This role is perfect for someone with solid hands-on bookkeeping or AP/AR experience who’s ready to step into projects. You’ll join our project accounting team and see how finance connects directly with contracts, reporting, and project delivery.What you’ll do:

• Check project setups to ensure invoicing requirements are captured from the start

• Monitor project financials to give Project Managers real-time visibility of project health

• Use tools like Business Central, Power BI and Excel to track and report

• Manage project invoicing in line with contract terms

• Support day-to-day AP/AR and data entry tasks

What you’ll bring:

• Certificate-level qualification in finance or solid hands-on bookkeeping-related experience

• A background in bookkeeping, accounts payable or receivable — ideally in a fast-paced environment such as real estate, construction or similar

• Strong attention to detail and reliability

• Solid Excel skills and an interest in learning ERP systems (e.g. Business Central)

Why this role is different:

• Step out of repetitive bookkeeping into the engine room of projects

• Gain exposure to contracts, proposals and project life cycles

• Learn how finance underpins project delivery, not just reporting

• Work where accuracy, initiative and reliability are valued daily

If you’re ready to grow beyond the numbers and shape projects in real time, this could be the perfect step.

Apply now and bring your accounting skills into the world of projects.
