• Liaising with accountants regarding CIS and HMRC verifications
• Checking subcontractor information and relevant company compliance documentation
• Supporting site and office-based teams with general queries
• General administration including filing, answering calls and assisting with the smooth running of the office

Due to the nature of the role, previous finance/accounts experience within the construction industry is essential.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience working within an accounts or finance position in a construction-related business
• Good working knowledge of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
• Understanding of the VAT Domestic Reverse Charge
• Experience using Sage 50
• Sales and purchase ledger experience

• Good Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook skills

• Permanent, full-time position
• Monday to Friday, 9:00am 5:00pm
• Friendly, close-knit working environment
• Varied position offering exposure across finance, projects and general business operations

This is a fully office-based role in Denham and therefore candidates must be comfortable working on-site five days per week.

If you have a strong accounts background within construction and are looking for a varied, hands‑on position within a smaller, supportive business, we would love to hear from you.
