Hire a bookkeeper for energy & solar

A dedicated PCS team member, trained on your stack, in your hours, with sector context for energy & solar.

Solar and energy businesses juggle progress invoicing, supplier deposits, finance-company settlements, and retention payments — bookkeeping that gets messy fast when it's done in the gaps between site jobs. A dedicated PCS bookkeeper keeps job-level costing current in Xero or MYOB, reconciles finance settlements against installs, and chases supplier credits, so your margin per install is a number you trust, not a guess.

Energy & solar context

Why this role lands well in energy & solar

Energy retailers and solar providers across ANZ run high-volume customer interactions at exactly the moments customers care most: switch decisions, fault tickets, billing surprises, and renewal windows. PCS already supports clients in this space — Genesis Energy, NZ Solar Provider, AU Renewables Company — and the workforce in Suva understands the rhythm of utility-grade service: handling save-team escalations, triaging connection issues, and keeping CSAT high during peak demand.

Industry-specific responsibilities

Switch-team and save-team conversations during peak demand
Solar lead triage from website forms, partner channels, and door-knock teams
Connection, fault, and outage handling with utility-grade SLAs

PCS operates customer care, sales support, and back-office teams for energy and solar clients across NZ and AU. Outsource Fiji has cited PCS as essential to running solarZero's customer care and acquisition teams.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. Onboarding covers the tax-handling rules for your jurisdiction, and your bookkeeper prepares GST returns or BAS workpapers for review by you or your accountant. Final lodgement sign-off stays with your NZ/AU-registered accountant.

PCS is ISO 27001:2022 certified. Bookkeepers work on PCS-provisioned, full-disk-encrypted hardware in the Suva office, access is least-privilege and logged, and confidentiality agreements cover every engagement.

Yes, and most do. Your PCS bookkeeper handles the day-to-day ledger work and prepares month-end packs, while your accountant keeps advisory, tax, and compliance sign-off. Many accounting firms also engage PCS bookkeepers directly for client work.
