Location: Salford Quays

About the Role
If you love working within the construction industry, producing accounts in a project-based environment, and reporting directly into a business owner, this is the role for you.
Working for a growing SME subcontractor to the construction industry, you will report directly to a brilliant Managing Director who has plans to scale up the business via acquisitions alongside organic growth over the next few years. Having this role in place is absolutely critical to achieving this growth.
You’ll be brought in initially to establish a robust in-house accounting framework. Currently, the majority of the accounting is covered by their external accountants, but for the business to grow, the MD now sees the need for an in-house finance function.
You’ll work closely with the MD and QS team to establish what’s needed, identify pressure points regarding finance and operations working in harmony. You will liaise with the external accountants daily, gradually bringing processes in-house, and you’ll lead the establishment of management accounts, MI info, reporting down to the margins on each project. It’s a full finance overhaul project.
This is a fantastic role for someone who wants to put their own stamp on finance, working for an MD who equally wants you to lead this project. This MD is forward-thinking and commercial, understanding that for you to be successful, he will need to take your guidance on what’s required from a financial perspective.
Requirements
Given the specifics of the industry, the MD is only considering Accountants with a strong construction background, including a full understanding of CIS, subcontractor work, projects, working with QS teams, costings, and WIP. Qualifications aren’t the be-all and end-all; the most important aspect is construction experience and a passion for implementation, working within the fast-paced environment of an SME, and being genuinely excited about the prospect of this role.
