* Treasury & Tax: Assist the FD with site financing and refinancing, monitor banking covenants and oversee CIS and VAT returns.
The Ideal Candidate
* A proven track record of financial control within residential development, housebuilding or contracting.
* Advanced Excel skills for financial modelling are non-negotiable, alongside experience navigating a major system implementation.
* An adaptable, proactive mindset, you must enjoy working in a fast-paced structure alongside entrepreneurial owners who pivot quickly to unlock alternative strategies (such as building rental portfolios, bulk sales and overseas asset sales)Before You Apply
