  • Work closely with the Director and Accountant to provide financial insights and support decision-making.
  • Ensure subcontractor compliance including insurances and documentation.
  • Liaise effectively with external accountants, suppliers and internal stakeholders.

Skills & Experience Required

  • Proven experience in a bookkeeping or senior finance support role.
  • Experience within the construction industry is highly desirable.
  • Strong understanding of job costing, payroll and compliance requirements.
