Kenton Black Finance is currently partnered with a growing, fast-paced business operating nationally within a niche area of construction/engineering.

This newly created position reports directly to the CEO and leads all financial activities for the business. It is a stand-alone role suited to a technically strong Management Accountant who is eager to progress and develop further.
This is a remote role; however, you must be located in the North West as travel to the offices in Chorley is required from time to time.
This is an exciting and progressive opportunity requiring knowledge and experience of CIS. The role is commercially focused, with progression opportunities. Both the group and this business unit are experiencing rapid growth. Known locally as an employer of choice, this is a unique opportunity.
