Job Description

About the Role

n

I am partnering with an established property development and construction group to find a Management Accountant reporting directly to the CFO.

n

This role owns project performance reporting across the development and construction portfolio, tracking actuals against feasibility, budget and forecast, and translating that into group cash flow visibility and board-level reporting.

n

You will also work closely with the CFO on treasury, funding and facility management, giving you commercial exposure well beyond a standard management accounting brief. You will provide day-to-day guidance to the finance team, and there is a genuine pathway into a Finance Manager role for the right person.

n

Open to Big 4 or mid-tier first time with construction or property development experience.
