NMS Recruit are seeking an Senior Consultant with a strong background in the construction industry with solid financial/commercial experience. The role would be suitable for quantity surveyors or finance/accounting professionals within the construction industry who are looking to step into a new challenge working with a growing and personable financial software business.
Job Purpose
To help UK construction businesses deliver projects more smoothly and predictably-and help the team to grow while doing it. You will lead technology change that improves finance and support the digital transformation of construction, partnering with commercial, site and finance teams. As a team lead you will set the tone for delivery excellence: coaching junior consultants, shaping ways of working, and building a supportive, high-trust environment. Training provided on Sage Intacct Construction (no prior Intacct experience required).
Responsibilities
Change Leadership & Stakeholder Management
Lead stakeholders through change-mapping current vs future processes, building buy-in, and guiding teams through adoption.
Facilitate clear decision-making across commercial, finance, operations and site leadership.
Plan communications and training tailored to different audiences (project accountants, QSs, site managers, finance teams).
Project & Delivery Management
Own end-to-end delivery: scoping, solution design, configuration, testing, training, go-live and hypercare.
Run effective project rhythms (kick-offs, show-and-tells, risk reviews), manage RAID logs, and keep delivery on time and on budget.
Build practical dashboards and reporting that support confident, day-to-day decision-making.
Customer Success & Advisory
Act as a trusted advisor on project accounting, subcontractor management, procurement, valuations and contract administration.
Translate real-world construction needs into robust system designs and simple, usable workflows.
Measure outcomes (adoption, cycle times, reporting accuracy) and iterate to deliver lasting results.
Technical Oversight (no prior Intacct required)
Guide configuration across core areas (projects/job costing, contracts, purchasing, AP/AR, time & expenses, cash management).
Oversee data migration (job histories, subcontractors, suppliers, valuations, retentions, contracts) with a focus on integrity and reconciliation.
Coordinate integrations with common UK construction tools (e.g., Procore, Autodesk/Build, Eque2, COINS-adjacent, field time-tracking, AP automation).
Be hands-on when needed-carry out configuration and data migration tasks to unblock the team and keep delivery moving.
Training provided on Sage Intacct Construction and support certification once onboard.
People Leadership, Practice & Community
Direct line management for junior consultants (typically 1-3): run regular 1:1s, set objectives, coach on delivery, complete performance reviews, and support wellbeing.
Mentor across the wider team and contribute to playbooks, templates and training.
Conduct value-led demos and discovery; shape statements of work and estimates; contribute to presales and marketing content.
Present at customer forums and collaborate with partners.
Essential Experience

Strong change management skills: stakeholder engagement, communications planning, training and adoption.
Confident project management: scoped delivery, budgeting, RAID, and clear status reporting across multiple projects.
Ability to turn operational needs into clear, usable system designs and reports.
Excellent communication, facilitation and documentation skills; comfortable with executives and site teams alike.
Collaborative mindset with a passion for customer success and measurable outcomes.
