About My Client

I am currently recruiting on behalf of a leading, multi-disciplinary construction business headquartered in London. Known for delivering high-profile infrastructure and commercial projects across the UK, they operate across several specialist divisions. Following a period of continued expansion and a forward-thinking push toward digital evolution, they are strengthening their central finance function to drive seamless integration, system efficiency, and AI-driven automation.

The Role

Working directly alongside the Group Finance Director, you will step into a high-visibility, project-led role designed to bridge central finance with key business functions. Beyond acting as the dedicated commercial partner to lead stakeholders across Legal, IT, and Procurement, you will play a hands-on role in the company's AI and digital transformation strategy-leveraging modern tech to automate financial workflows, optimise group spend, and upgrade predictive reporting across all operations.

Key Responsibilities

• AI & Finance Transformation: Partner with IT and central leadership to roll out AI tools, automated reporting workflows, and modern data architecture across the finance function to increase efficiency and predictive forecasting accuracy.
• Cross-Functional Business Partnering: Act as the primary finance lead for non-finance directors (Legal, IT, Procurement) to evaluate commercial contracts and optimise supply chain spend using data-driven insights.
• Finance & Systems Integration: Lead the financial and operational integration of newly acquired entities or business units, standardizing accounting processes and adopting group-wide digital systems.
• Commercial Analytics & Reporting: Develop clear, automated KPI dashboards and models that translate complex group spending patterns into actionable insights for executive leadership.

What My Client Is Looking For

• Qualification: Fully qualified (ACCA, CIMA, ACA, or equivalent) with demonstrable post-qualification experience.
• Sector Expertise: Direct experience within construction, engineering, property is preferred.
• Tech & AI Affinity: A strong interest or practical exposure to finance automation, AI implementation, business intelligence tools (e.g., Power BI), or finance transformation projects.
• Functional Partnering: Proven track record of business partnering with non-finance teams-specifically IT, Procurement, or Legal-and driving cross-departmental initiatives.
• Technical & System Skills: Advanced financial modeling capability and familiarity with modern accounting platforms or construction-specific ERPs
