6. Ensure accurate accounting for VAT, subcontractors tax and CITB payments as appropriate
7. Support the continuous improvements and developments of reporting, procedures and governance
8. Promote and act in accordance with Group values, systems, policies and procedures.

What you'll need? To be successful in the role, we are looking for:

1. A professionally qualified accountant or qualified by experience, ideally within the house-building sector.
2. A strong team motivator with the drive and tenacity to achieve the goals of the business.
3. Highly numerate with strong IT and financial analysis skills, coupled with the ability to interpret data and assess impacts on the business.
4. Experience of managing budgets/cost control, and planning and organising work to meet targets.
5. Able and willing to contribute a professional opinion to the overall management of the business.
6. Self-confident, decisive, resilient and able to thrive under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
