Job Opportunity: Construction Industry Accountant
Salary: £45,000 – £55,000 + Full suite of benefits, Christmas shutdown, and more…
If you love working within the construction industry, producing accounts in a project-based environment, and reporting directly to a business owner, this is the role for you.
Working for a growing SME subcontractor to the construction industry, reporting directly to a talented Managing Director who plans to scale the business through acquisitions and organic growth over the next few years, this role is critical to achieving these ambitions.
You will be initially brought in to establish a robust in-house accounting framework. Currently, most accounting functions are managed by external accountants, but as the business grows, the MD recognizes the need for an in-house finance team.
You’ll work closely with the MD and QS team to identify needs and pressure points in finance and operations, liaise with external accountants to gradually bring processes in-house, and lead the establishment of management accounts, MI reports, and project margin analysis. It’s a comprehensive finance overhaul project.
This role offers an excellent opportunity for someone eager to shape the finance function, working with an MD who encourages leadership and innovation. The MD is forward-thinking, commercial, and values your guidance on financial strategies. Your ideas will be empowered.
Given the industry specifics, the MD is only considering candidates with a strong construction background, including full understanding of CIS, subcontractor work, projects, working with QS teams, costings, and WIP. Qualifications are less important than construction experience and a passion for implementation within a fast-paced SME environment. The ideal candidate will be genuinely excited about this opportunity.
