The Company

Our client is a small but rapidly growing electrical contractor delivering high-quality services across the residential and commercial sectors.

The work the company does includes powering new build developments, installing electric vehicle chargers, carrying out full and partial rewires, issuing landlord safety certificates, and completing consumer unit upgrades.

The Role

This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on Management Accountant to join a growing business where you will have real impact and visibility. Working closely with the business owner and wider team, you will take ownership of the day-to-day finance function while also providing valuable commercial insight to support decision-making.

The role is open to a remote hybrid arrangement with the expectation that the Management Accountant will meet the company owner once a week.

The Offer

  * Competitive salary based on experience

  * Opportunity to grow with the business and shape the finance function
