Our Client:

We are working with an established and growing construction and development business in Swansea who are looking to appoint a Financial Controller to work closely with the Finance Director and wider senior management team.

This is a broad and hands-on role, offering the opportunity to take ownership of financial reporting, project accounting, cash flow and financial controls, whilst also providing valuable commercial insight to the wider business.

The Role:

As Financial Controller, you will be responsible for the day-to-day financial control and reporting across the company's construction and development activities.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing monthly management accounts and statutory financial statements.
• Monitoring project costs, margins and stage completions.
• Maintaining and updating project viability and development forecasts.
• Managing cash flow forecasting across multiple projects.
• Supporting funding and covenant reporting.

• Working closely with commercial, operations and purchasing teams to improve business performance.

About You:

You will ideally be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, or a finalist, although relevant experience will be considered.

Most importantly, you will have a strong technical accounting background combined with commercial awareness and the ability to translate financial information into meaningful business insight.

Experience within construction, property development, real estate or a project-based environment would be highly advantageous.

You will also need strong Excel and systems skills, excellent attention to detail and the confidence to work with stakeholders across the business.

 

 

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Financial Controller to join a growing business and work closely with the Finance Director and senior leadership team.
