Job description

Project Accountant

Join a growing, multi-entity business and help build the financial foundations for its next stage.

Progressive Group is growing, and we’re looking for a capable Project Accountant who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and wants to make a real contribution.

This role will primarily support our Projects division, while also helping provide financial support to future business units as they come on board.

Our vision

Our vision is to build a strong group of businesses that can grow together, backed by good people, clear information and practical systems. As we expand, we want to create a business where each team has the support it needs to perform and where people can develop alongside the group. This role will help us build that foundation.

This is a highly rewarding opportunity for someone who has been involved in scaling a business, understands the demands of working across multiple entities and can keep pace with a high volume of activity. You’ll work closely with the team to strengthen financial visibility, support good decisions and help the business continue to grow.

About the role

You’ll support project and business-unit performance through timely, accurate financial information and practical advice. You’ll partner closely with project delivery teams, including Contract Administrators (CAs) and Project Managers (PMs), to help them understand project performance and make informed decisions.

Your work will include:

• Supporting project financial reporting and performance tracking
• Monitoring project costs, margins, budgets and forecasts
• Helping maintain accurate and timely financial reporting across multiple entities
• Working with CAs, PMs and operational teams to understand project results and identify issues early
• Improving financial processes, reporting and controls as the business grows
• Managing competing deadlines while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail

About you

You’ll bring experience as a Project Accountant or in a similar project-focused finance role, ideally in a growing business with multiple entities.

Experience working in a project delivery environment and partnering with CAs, PMs and other project stakeholders is essential.

You’ll also have:

• Experience supporting a business through a period of growth or scale
• Confidence working across multiple companies or entities
• The ability to manage a high workload and changing priorities
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to work with non-finance teams
• A practical, hands-on approach and a willingness to improve how things are done
• A genuine interest in being part of a positive, team-focused culture

Why join Progressive Group?

We’re building a growing group of businesses and want people who are keen to be part of that journey. You’ll have the chance to make a meaningful contribution, take ownership of your work and help shape the way finance supports our Projects division and future business units.

We place a strong focus on culture and job satisfaction. We want our people to feel valued, supported and proud of the work they do.

If you’re looking for a role where you can use your experience, have a voice and grow alongside the business, we’d like to hear from you.
