About the Role

A leading, design-led property developer is seeking a Finance Director to join its regional leadership team, working closely with the Managing Director and Group CEO to shape and deliver business strategy.

This is a pivotal, hands-on role with full ownership of financial planning, reporting, compliance, and cashflow management, as well as project appraisal and KPI analysis. You will lead a high-performing finance team, managing everything from budgeting and system implementation to statutory compliance and board reporting.

The Finance Director will act as a key commercial partner to the business, challenging assumptions, driving financial insight, and ensuring strong governance and financial control as the company continues to scale.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Full ownership of monthly reporting, forecasting, and five-year planning
  • Strategic business partnering with the Managing Director and senior leadership
  • Overseeing project appraisals, commercial decision support, and KPI tracking
  • Managing all aspects of compliance, audit, VAT, and Corporation Tax
  • Leading the finance team (Financial Controller & AP Manager) and supporting future growth
  • Driving process improvement, system optimisation (e.g., Sage, Anaplan, Viewpoint), and cashflow efficiency
  • Producing board packs and ensuring timely payments to all stakeholders

The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with experience in a similar senior finance role. Sector experience in property or construction is preferred, along with a strong commercial mindset, excellent leadership skills, and a track record of building robust financial frameworks in a fast-paced environment.
