About Us
Pearce Elite Group is a multi-trade construction and mechanical services business based in Bridgend, operating across plumbing, heating, fire sprinkler systems, underground water mains, air source heat pumps, solid fuel appliances, and general building and construction. Founded in 2008, we work across the residential and new build sectors throughout South and West Wales and are continuing to grow across multiple divisions of the business.
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Finance Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day financial operations across the Pearce Elite Group, working closely with the Finance Director and senior management team. This is a hands-on role covering everything from VAT and payroll through to cash flow management and site-level profitability and is well suited to someone who enjoys getting into the detail as much as reporting the bigger picture.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare and submit VAT returns accurately and on time, ensuring full compliance with HMRC requirements (including CIS and reverse charge VAT considerations for construction)
- Manage weekly/monthly payroll for direct staff and subcontractors, including CIS deductions, PAYE, pensions and statutory payments
- Oversee corporation tax and personal tax liaison with external accountants, ensuring records are audit-ready
- Manage day-to-day cash flow across the Group, including forecasting, working capital, and timing of supplier/subcontractor payments
- Check supplier and subcontractor invoices against orders and agreed rates, identifying and querying overcharges or discrepancies before payment
- Produce site-by-site profit and loss reporting, working with Contracts and Site Managers to track costs against valuations and flag variances early
- Maintain accurate management accounts and provide monthly financial reporting to the Finance Director and Managing Directors
- Support budgeting, cost control and financial planning across each trading division of the Group
- Assist with year-end accounts preparation and liaison with external auditors/accountants
- Maintain robust financial controls, processes and record-keeping across the business
- Support ad hoc commercial and financial analysis for the senior management team as the Group grows
