Your new role
This is a newly created role offering the opportunity to take ownership of the company’s day-to-day finance operations. Historically, bookkeeping and accounts preparation have been managed externally, with recent changes prompting the business to bring these responsibilities in-house.

This position offers genuine scope to shape processes, improve systems, and grow alongside the business.

- Support wider workforce administration (circa 120 including subcontractors)
- Prepare and submit VAT returns
- Produce regular financial reporting for the Director
- Conduct cost analysis, working closely with the Transport Manager
- Ensure ongoing payroll and financial compliance
What you'll need to succeed
- Proven experience in a similar bookkeeping or finance coordination role
- Strong knowledge of CIS and subcontractor accounting (essential)
- Experience managing payroll and supplier payments
- Confident in preparing VAT returns and supporting reporting processes
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail
- Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of processes
- Proactive mindset with the ability to improve and streamline systems
What you'll get in return
- Flexible working arrangements and a supportive environment
- The opportunity to shape and develop a finance function from within
