Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a broad and autonomous position offering exposure to all areas of the business and the opportunity to have a genuine commercial impact. This role would suit an Accountant or Senior Accountant looking to step into a broader position and take full ownership of a finance function.

The role covers the full finance function, from overseeing day-to-day transactions, invoicing, AP and AR through to preparing management accounts, financial reporting, budgets and cash-flow forecasts. You will work closely with the CEO and wider business, providing financial insight, supporting commercial decision-making and identifying opportunities to improve processes and profitability. External accounting support is also provided.

The business is currently going through a significant period of change, having recently been majority acquired by a larger group. The acquisition provides a strong platform for continued growth and creates an exciting opportunity for the successful individual to develop and strengthen the finance function.

The role

• Taking ownership of the day-to-day finance function and monthly management accounts.
• Preparing budgets, forecasts, cash-flow projections and financial reporting.
• Overseeing AP, AR, credit control and payroll.
• Monitoring project performance, margins, profitability and working capital.
• Providing financial and commercial analysis to the CEO and senior leadership team.
• Supporting pricing, tendering and wider commercial decision-making.
• Managing balance sheet reconciliations and statutory financial obligations.
• Liaising with accountants, auditors, banks and other external advisers.
• Identifying opportunities to improve financial processes, systems, controls and reporting.
• Supporting the business through its next phase of growth following the acquisition.

About you

This role would suit an Accountant or Senior Accountant looking to step into a broader position and take full ownership of a finance function. You will ideally have strong management accounting and financial reporting experience, alongside good commercial awareness and the confidence to work directly with senior stakeholders. A recognised accounting qualification such as CA, ACCA or CIMA would be advantageous, although relevant experience and capability will be equally important.

Why consider it?

With direct access to the CEO, responsibility for the full finance function and the backing of a larger group, this is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond traditional accounting and play a key role in a growing SME.
