Job description

Ever wanted to take over a finance function at the exact moment it moves from theory to reality? This is your chance.

You'll be joining the owner operator of one of Europe's largest renewable energy plants. Once fully operational, the site will produce low carbon electricity for more than 600,000 homes. It is a significant piece of national infrastructure, and your work will be essential to keeping it running smoothly, reliably, and commercially.

The build is nearly complete and operations are scaling up. Systems are in place, processes are mapped, and now it is time for a permanent Management Accountant who can be properly hands on. Someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, delivering at pace, and helping shape what the finance function looks like in the long term.

This role offers broad exposure across the full spectrum of finance. Some core activities are currently outsourced, but the plan is to bring them in house over time. That means more ownership, more variety, and the opportunity to help build a truly end to end operation as it evolves.

You will report to a commercially sharp Financial Controller and work in a small, friendly team that supports each other, works hard, and still manages to have a laugh. It is a close knit environment but part of something far bigger, with specialist teams in operations, engineering, and commercial on hand when needed.

You won't be micromanaged. There is genuine flexibility around working hours and a culture built on trust. You will also receive a 13 percent employer pension contribution and up to 15 percent annual bonus.

What you'll be doing

• Delivering full monthly management accounts including P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow
• Supporting board level reporting with insight that adds real value
• Managing fixed asset reporting and capex tracking
• Assisting with a major ERP rollout from configuration through to go live
• Supporting the transition of outsourced tasks back in house
• Strengthening financial controls and governance across a complex, asset heavy environment

What they're looking for

• A hands on, delivery focused finance professional who takes ownership
• Qualified ACA, ACCA, CIMA
• Project Experience
• Confident with systems and data, ideally with experience of supporting or leading ERP or finance tool implementations
• Someone who thrives in a small team and doesn't wait to be asked
• A sharp communicator who can translate financial detail into clear action

This is the chance to help build something from the ground up. To take ownership. To get exposure across every corner of finance. It is a small team with a big mission and you will be right at the centre of it.
