Operating across an aligned footprint spanning private housebuilding, contracting and long-term rental portfolios, the business is driven by entrepreneurial leadership and an opportunistic land-acquisition team.

• Business Planning: Create, maintain, and develop the consolidated corporate business plan generated from individual site metrics.
• Systems Migration: Play a key supporting role in migrating financial data from QuickBooks over to a newly adopted ERP system.
• Banking Support: Assist with the monitoring of banking covenants and provide administrative support for the financing/refinancing of various development sites.

The Ideal Candidate

• A proven track record of management accounting experience within UK housebuilding, residential development, or contracting.
• Advanced Excel skills for financial modelling and site appraisal manipulation are non-negotiable.
• An adaptable, proactive mindset comfortable working in a fast-paced structure alongside entrepreneurial owners who pivot strategies to unlock alternative asset portfolios.
