We’re working with a highly ambitious, fast-growing business operating within the construction sector, based in Pontyclun. Founded in 2020, the business has experienced exceptional growth and is now entering its next phase of evolution.

• Preparation of VAT returns and support with statutory compliance
• Close liaison with external accountants, auditors, and HMRC
• Monthly payroll oversight
• Invoice processing, credit control, and receivables management
• Project costing, job profitability analysis, and variance reporting
• Supporting implementation and improvement of systems and processes (Xero)
• Working closely with project and operational teams to support commercial performance

About You

We’re looking for someone who is both technically strong and highly hands-on, ideally with experience in construction, engineering, or a project-led SME environment.

• AAT qualified or strong QBE
• Experience within construction or project accounting is highly desirable
• Confident working with Xero and advanced Excel skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, scaling business
• Hands-on, not afraid to do everything from the bottom up
• Attitude and personality are key for this role, down to earth individual that can work closely with the FD and guide him through the accounts process

• Genuine opportunity to shape the finance function
• Close working relationship with an experienced Managing Director/FD
