Job description

FD Recruit is working exclusively with a privately owned specialist construction and plant hire group based in South Staffordshire, between Wolverhampton and Cannock, to appoint a Group Finance Director. The group has grown consistently year on year, with turnover now approaching £25M across multiple companies, and this appointment is a direct result of that growth. The owners have ambitious plans to go significantly further, and they want a finance leader alongside the CEO to shape and support that next phase.

Why this role

This is a group role in structure - multiple entities, consolidation, intercompany - but an SME in character. You will be the number one in finance, a member of the senior leadership team working closely with the CEO and the wider executive, responsible for everything from strategy at the boardroom table to the quality of the month‑end close, without a larger group function behind you. For the right person, that breadth and ownership is precisely the appeal.

You will:

  • Partner an entrepreneurial CEO on group strategy, growth plans and new business initiatives.
  • Sit on the senior leadership team, working closely with the executive to turn ambition into deliverable plans.
  • Modernise the finance function: faster month‑end close, stronger controls, better Board reporting, and new technology where it adds value.
  • Own the full group finance agenda: consolidated accounts, cash management, budgeting, intercompany, audit, and tax compliance.
  • Drive commercial decision‑making in an asset‑intensive business, from fleet and plant investment to contract profitability.
  • Lead and develop the finance team, building the capability to support a growing multi‑entity group.

Who we're looking for

  • A qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) who has operated as the number one in finance within an SME or owner‑managed business, and understands that dynamic: full responsibility, no group support function, nowhere to delegate the hard stuff.
  • Comfortable working at pace alongside an entrepreneurial CEO - someone who can bring financial rigour and constructive challenge to ambitious growth plans without slowing them down.
  • Experience across a group or multi‑entity structure. Sector background is useful but not essential; what matters is the SME number one experience.
  • A hands‑on leader happy to move between boardroom strategy and the detail of the month‑end.

How to Apply

This role is being managed exclusively by FD Recruit. If this sounds like your next move, we'd love to hear from you. Please apply with an up-to-date CV and a member of the team will be in touch.
