At Liv Green, we’re passionate about creating sustainable, energy-efficient solutions that drive positive change. We are a leading provider of retrofit and decarbonisation services across the UK, working with local authorities, social landlords, and homeowners to improve the efficiency and comfort of homes.

  We put the customer first, prioritise dynamic decision-making, and constantly strive to be better.

  We value accountability and have built a culture of problem-solving.
• Right from the start:
  We do it once and do it well, delivering the highest possible standard for our clients.

• Medical cash plan

• Career growth opportunities within finance and operational leadership

Liv Green is entering a pivotal phase of growth. As we scale our retrofit and decarbonisation operations across the UK, we are seeking a high-calibre Financial Controller to join us at an exciting and transformative time for the business.

This is not a steady-state finance role. This is an opportunity to build.

We are looking for a technically strong, practice-trained finance professional who has already stepped into industry and operated at Senior Management Accountant, Finance Manager or Financial Controller level. Someone who understands what “good” looks like and is motivated to implement it.

You will be a key partner to the CFO, working closely to strengthen financial governance, modernise reporting, and embed robust controls that are scalable, sustainable and fit for the future.

Together, you will:

• Professionalise the finance function
• Elevate the quality of management information
• Strengthen WIP, CVR and project accounting governance
• Build a modern control environment aligned with best practice
• Develop and mentor a growing finance team
• Support the business through its next stage of strategic growth

This is a role for someone who wants more than a month end cycle. It is for someone who wants exposure to board-level thinking, strategic planning, and long-term value creation.

There is a clear pathway for progression to Group Financial Controller and, for the right individual, potential Finance Director responsibilities in the future.

If you are ambitious, commercially minded, technically grounded, and excited by the challenge of building a finance function that underpins a fast-growing, purpose-driven business, this could be the defining role of your career.

• Lead and manage the full finance function, ensuring high standards across accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger and month-end/year-end close processes.
• Take accountability for the integrity of the balance sheet, ensuring robust reconciliations, controls and audit readiness.
• Own the preparation of accurate and timely monthly management accounts, providing clear financial commentary and performance insight to the CFO and leadership team.
• Ensure statutory compliance across VAT, Corporation Tax, CIS, payroll and all regulatory requirements.
• Act as the primary finance lead for external audit, tax advisers and HMRC, working closely with the CFO to ensure strong governance.

• Lead, mentor and develop the finance team, setting clear objectives, driving performance and building capability as the business scales.
• Establish clear reporting structures and accountability within the finance function.
• Foster a culture of ownership, continuous improvement and professional development.
• Support succession planning and help shape the future structure of the finance team.
