Sonic Summary

info
  • An opportunity has arisen to lead the finance function of a major infrastructure project as it transitions from build phase to operational mode.
  • The role requires a qualified or part-qualified finance professional with at least 5 years of relevant experience, ideally in a project-based or asset-heavy environment.
  • Key responsibilities include delivering monthly management accounts, supporting board-level reporting, and leading ERP implementation efforts.
  • The position offers a competitive salary with a 13% employer pension contribution and up to a 15% bonus, reflecting the business's commitment to the role's importance.
  • The ideal candidate will be a hands-on communicator who thrives in a small team and can drive process improvements while embedding best practices.

Want to take over a finance function right at the point where it moves from theory to reality?

This is your chance.

The build phase of this major infrastructure project is nearly over. Now it's about real-world operations, commercial decisions, embedded processes, and a finance function that actually enables performance, not just reports on it.

That's where you come in.

You'll be joining as the business moves into full operational mode. An interim has done the groundwork: systems reviewed, processes mapped, frameworks outlined. But what's needed now is someone permanent to take ownership, embed best practice, and lead from the front.

You'll report to a commercially minded Financial Controller. Together, you'll run a small team that owns the numbers and helps shape how finance adds value in a complex, asset-heavy environment.

You'll benefit from a 13% employer pension and up to 15% bonus. Which isn't why you'll take the role, but it's a solid reflection of how much the business values what they need this role to deliver.



What you'll be doing:

  • Delivering full monthly management accounts: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow

  • Supporting board-level reporting with meaningful insight and performance commentary

  • Leading fixed asset management and capex tracking

  • Heading up the finance stream of an ERP implementation, from configuration to go-live

  • Owning financial workflows, driving process improvement, and embedding smart systems

  • Embedding controls and governance that work in an operational environment



What they're looking for:

  • A hands-on, all-round finance professional who doesn't sit back and wait to be asked

  • Qualified or part-qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with strong technical foundations

  • Ideally from a project-based, engineering-led or asset-heavy background

  • Proven experience with ERP implementations or finance system change

  • Someone who thrives in a small-team setting, isn't afraid of detail, and gets stuck in

  • A sharp communicator who can translate numbers into meaningful action

It's a big role in a business that's entering a critical phase. You'll be trusted, visible, and expected to make a difference quickly and consistently.

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd love to talk.
