I am working with one of the fastest growing and most innovative residential investment and development companies in the UK, and they are looking to strengthen the team with a finance manager
You will report directly to the finance director but play a key role across the wider business as it looks to scale and grow quickly over the next 2 years. The business has taken on substantial investment over the last 12 months and is looking to buy more land, and has several assets to dispose of over the coming year.
You will have experience in the house building or property development industry and ideally have worked at either a National PLC house builder or an entrepreneurial SME house builder.
You will be responsible for preparing monthly management accounts and profit and loss variance/ analysis. You will manage all statutory returns and company registers. You will work closely with the rest of the business to bring order and standardised processes to the financial operations across the business.
You will play a key role alongside the senior management team, so your role will be visible within the wider business, and there is real opportunity to accelerate your career.
