Social network you want to login/join with:

We are seeking an experienced finance professional to join a growing, multi-division construction group based in North-West London as an Accounts Assistant. This is a newly created role due to continued business growth and offers the opportunity to work across a diverse portfolio of specialist companies within the construction and infrastructure sectors.

The successful candidate will report to the Finance Director and play a key role in managing financial operations, ensuring compliance, and supporting ongoing improvements. This role offers hybrid working with only one day per week required in the office.

Our client operates across several entities including construction, residential, civil engineering, and technical research. With centralised financial oversight, they are committed to excellence, compliance, and continuous improvement.

Key responsibilities include managing recurring and complex finance matters across all group companies, overseeing CIS compliance including subcontractor onboarding, HMRC verification, submissions and reporting, supporting VAT returns and maintaining compliance records, and handling payroll across the group including PAYE, pensions, and statutory submissions. The role also includes banking tasks such as supplier payments, reconciliations, and cash flow monitoring. You will serve as a key link between the Finance Coordinator, General Manager, and Finance Director, producing monthly reports and helping to improve financial processes across the group.

Candidates should be AAT qualified, studying towards AAT, or qualified by experience. Solid experience in a finance role, preferably within construction or a multi-entity group, is desirable. Strong knowledge of CIS, VAT, PAYE, and HMRC compliance is required, along with experience in payroll processing and banking. Proficiency in QuickBooks is also desirable but not essential. The ideal candidate will have excellent attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and the ability to work independently while communicating effectively across teams.

The role offers a salary of £30,000 to £40,000 per annum depending on experience, plus a 5% annual bonus. It includes 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (pro-rated for part-time), a company pension, and the opportunity for remote working. Both full-time and part-time applications are welcome.

If you are ready to join a dynamic and expanding organisation and contribute to its financial success, we would love to hear from you. Please apply now to be considered.
