This is a Finance Director role for someone who enjoys getting close to how a business really makes money. The business operates in a construction (contracts-led) environment, where performance is not judged by revenue alone. It is judged by margin discipline, cash conversion, contract control, operational grip and the quality of the numbers behind every decision. Growth has created opportunity. It has also created the need for sharper financial leadership as the business has become more complex. You'll be stepping into a business with ambition, momentum and enough moving parts to make this a proper FD seat, not a reporting role with a grander title. You'll work closely with a high-energy leadership team, bringing rigour, commercial challenge and financial clarity to the next stage of growth. Not as the person who says "no" for sport, but as the person who can see round corners, challenge optimistic assumptions and make sure operational ambition turns into profitable performance. If you have worked in private equity, that would be useful. Not because this is a textbook PE role, but because PE experience often develops the right instincts: pace, transparency over the numbers, focus on value creation, sharper reporting, cash discipline and an intolerance of vague commercial performance. You'll be expected to improve the finance function so it supports the scale and complexity of the business properly. Better MI. Stronger forecasting. Tighter controls. Cleaner reporting. More useful insight. Better conversations around contracts, margins, working capital and risk. What you'll bring You're likely to be a qualified accountant with experience as a Finance Director, Divisional FD or senior finance leader in a scaling, operationally complex business. A background in construction, infrastructure, engineering, facilities or another contracts-led environment would be highly relevant. You'll be commercially sharp, operationally engaged and credible with senior stakeholders. You'll know how to balance pace with control. You'll be close enough to the detail to know what is really happening, but senior enough to turn that insight into better decisions. You'll also have the leadership ability to strengthen a finance team, raise standards and bring people with you. What's in it for you? A genuine opportunity to move into a high-impact Finance Director role where the work matters. A business with momentum, ambition and complexity, keeping the day job lively. A leadership team that needs Finance to be more than reporting. The appetite from the business is already there. A role where you can influence performance, shape the Finance function and leave a visible mark. Package includes: £140,000 - £160,000 base salary Car allowance Pension 40% bonus Equity incentive Hybrid working If you meet the brief and would like to be considered, don't delay in submitting your cv. Selection is currently underway with the process concluding late next month.

What you'll need to succeed You will ideally be at least AAT Qualified or a Part-Qualified Accountant and able to produce the monthly management accounts, undertake extensive reconciliations, review various income streams and present your management accounts to the Trustees with commentary on variances, as well as statements on VAT returns, cashflow forecasting including gift aid / donations etc. We will consider commercial accountants or ex-practice accountants who have a desire and passion to support a charitable organisation, but the core skills required will cover bookkeeping to trial balance, managing cashflow through to monthly management accounts as you would produce for an SME-type business.
