This role offers genuine scope for development as the finance function evolves, including the opportunity to support future team growth and wider group consolidation. The ideal candidate will be confident working in a fast‑paced SME environment, bringing strong technical capability, commercial awareness and a proactive, hands‑on approach.

  Coordination of payroll processing alongside the bookkeeper and external providers, ensuring accuracy, compliance and timely submission.
• VAT & CIS Compliance:
  Preparation and submission oversight of VAT and CIS returns, ensuring compliance with HMRC requirements and deadlines.
• Cash Flow Management:
  Support cash flow monitoring and forecasting, providing timely insight to support business planning and operational decision‑making.

  Work closely with directors and operational teams to provide financial insight, improve commercial awareness and support informed decision‑making.
• External Liaison:
  Act as a key point of contact for external accountants, HMRC and other financial stakeholders where required.
• Process Improvement:
  Continuously identify and implement improvements to financial systems, reporting processes and internal controls.

To be successful in this role, you will bring strong management accounting capability combined with a practical, hands‑on approach suited to a growing SME environment, ideally in an engineering, construction or project‑led environment. We are looking for candidates that are fully qualified (ACCA, CIMA, ACA, FCCA) or qualified by experience who have a strong technical grounding. You will need to have strong Excel skills and be confident using accounting systems such as Xero.

The company works in a fast moving industry so you will need to be able to manage multiple deadlines and priorities whilst keeping a high level of accuracy and consistency across all reporting and financial processes. Due to the project‑led environment you will need experience supporting project costings, margin analysis and performance reporting.
