Are you ready to take ownership of a finance function and help shape a growing business for the future?
This newly created role offers genuine scope to lead, develop, and make a real impact within an established group of companies operating across property development and construction.
With turnover around 22 million and ambitious plans to double in size over the next few years, the business is investing in its people, systems, and financial infrastructure to support long-term success.
You'll work closely with an experienced and commercially focused CFO, taking responsibility for the day-to-day finance function, leading and developing the team, and driving improvements across systems, controls, and reporting. With a newly built finance team in place, this is a great opportunity to help shape its direction and ensure finance is ready to meet the demands of a growing, multi-entity organisation.
The role will suit a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with experience managing a finance team and working within a group or multi-entity environment. Experience within property or construction would be an advantage, but what really matters is a hands-on, commercially minded approach and the confidence to make improvements.
The business is also open to a first mover from practice who's ready to step into industry at Financial Controller level. You'll have full support and mentoring from an experienced CFO, with genuine scope to grow alongside the business.
