• 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.
