Summary
Your new company
A growing construction business is recruiting for a Finance Manager to join the team, reporting to the Finance Director.
Your new role
This is a progressive role, and we are looking for a qualified finance professional that is looking to take a hands-on leadership role. You'll manage day‑to‑day financial operations, support long‑term planning, and play an active part in the leadership team. The role involves leading a small finance team, ensuring strong financial controls, and delivering accurate reporting and analysis.
Key areas of responsibility include:
- Overseeing the Finance Department and deputising for the Finance Director
- Leading, mentoring, and developing a small finance team
- Preparing monthly management accounts, balance sheet reconciliations, and variance analysis
- Monitoring budgets, cost control, and project spend
- Ensuring compliance with accounting standards, internal policies, and statutory requirements
- Managing VAT returns, payroll for weekly waged staff
- Producing weekly cashflow forecasts and reporting on sales and build progress
- Liaising with auditors and preparing year‑end information
- Working closely with other departments to maintain strong communication and efficient workflows
What you'll need to succeed
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to progress their career in a busy hands-on leadership role. This will either suit someone as a first-time mover that has experience auditing product-based businesses, or potentially someone already in the industry ready to take on a new challenge. We are looking for someone that is ambitious and looking to take a step-up into Financial Controller / Head of Finance in the future.
What you'll get in return
The role is based close to the M4 / M5 and has parking on site. It's mainly a site-based role but has some flexibility and offers a competitive salary, car allowance and bonus.
