Construction Project Accountant

<p>If you are one or two years post qualified and looking for a role where finance actually sits at the heart of the business rather than off to one side, this is worth a read.</p><p>My client is one of the most respected names in ultra prime residential construction and interior architecture. Their projects are the kind that get written about, and the finance function has real visibility across leadership, project directors, and the wider commercial team. This role has been created to partner directly with project teams, own the numbers behind live jobs, and give the business the clarity it needs to make faster and better decisions.</p><p>You will be responsible for management accounts, project reporting, forecasting, and business partnering with non finance stakeholders. You will get into the detail on cost tracking, margin analysis, and cash on individual projects, and you will be the person the project leads come to when they need answers. There is genuine scope to shape how reporting is done and to grow with the business over the next few years.</p><p>We are looking for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with one to two years of post qualified experience, ideally with a background in construction, property, or project accounting. If you have worked in a project driven environment and you enjoy the commercial side of finance as much as the technical side, you will fit in well here.</p><p>The office is central London, the culture is grown up and collaborative, and there is flexibility on hybrid working.</p><p>If this sounds like the kind of move you have been waiting for, the quickest way to get a proper feel for the role is a short call.</p>
