• Ensure compliance with all financial regulations, including VAT, CIS, payroll, and statutory reporting.
• Work with external accountants, auditors, and lenders as required.
• Develop and implement robust financial controls and reporting systems.

What we’re looking For:

• Proven experience as a Financial Controller (or similar role) in a sub-contracting, construction, or project-based business – preferably within the new build or housing sector.
• Demonstrated experience running and managing an invoice financing facility (essential).
• Strong understanding of cash flow, credit control, and contractor supply chains.
• Experience with CIS, VAT returns, and construction finance best practices.
• Part-qualified, fully qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA), or qualified by experience.
• Proficiency in accounting software (e.g., Xero, Sage 200) and strong Excel skills.
• Hands-on, adaptable, and confident in a growing SME environment.

What We Offer:

• A leadership role in a growing business with long-term career potential.
• Autonomy and influence over the company’s financial strategy.
• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Supportive, collaborative working environment.
• Pension and company benefits
