Management Accountant - Construction

Management Accountant North West

Construction £50,000 - £60,000

A growing construction and residential development group is entering a major new phase of expansion under new ownership and a modern, forward-thinking leadership team. As the business scales, we're strengthening the finance function and introducing clearer processes, reporting and controls to support a more structured, data-driven operation.

We're now looking for an experienced Management Accountant to take ownership of month-end, project reporting and financial control, while providing accurate, commercially focused insight to senior leadership. This is a hands-on role with real responsibility - ideal for someone qualified or part-qualified with at least three years' experience in a similar environment who wants to step into a more senior, influential position.

You'll work closely with the Commercial Director and operational teams, supporting project reporting, cost tracking, margin analysis, WIP and CVRs. Alongside this, you'll lead the month-end close, produce management accounts with variance analysis, manage reconciliations, prepare VAT returns, support audits and help strengthen systems, controls and reporting structures as the business continues to grow.

This role suits someone analytical, organised and proactive - someone who enjoys improving processes, building structure and contributing to a finance function that's evolving quickly.
