• Growth: As the company expands, you\'ll grow with it - with scope to step into a Finance Director role.

Key Accountabilities

• Lead financial control and compliance across the group (Xero, HMRC, Companies House, auditors).
• Partner with project teams on budgets, spend tracking, and variance monitoring.
• Deliver strategic forecasting, scenario modelling, and cashflow planning.
• Maintain investor and lender confidence with clear, timely reporting.
• Develop and grow the finance function, fostering a high-performance culture.

What we're looking for

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Hands-on, commercially savvy, and detail-oriented.
• Confident communicator with investors, lenders, and the board.
• Experience in property, construction, or project-driven environments a plus.
