Company Accountant / Financial Controller

Own the finance function of a renewable energy business that's actually growing. \n Thermal Earth is one of the UK's most established heat pump specialists. From our base at Capel Hendre we design, supply and install ground source and air source heat pump systems, and we've completed over 3,500 installations since 2006. \n That growth has outrun our finance setup. n This is a hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up finance role in an SME, not a seat in a big finance team. Month-end close — journals, accruals, prepayments, reconciliations, and a management accounts pack that lands on time and means something \n Sales and purchase ledger, credit control, supplier payments and cash flow forecasting \n VAT returns, CIS, payroll processing and pension submissions \n Job and project costing — tracking margin on individual installations against quoted cost, and telling us clearly where we're making money and where we aren't \n Year-end file and liaison with our external accountants and auditors \n Budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling \n Solid all-round accounting experience in an SME, where you were the finance function rather than one part of it \n Qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), part-qualified, or qualified by experience — we care more about what you can do than what's after your name \n Confident preparing management accounts to trial balance and beyond, without hand-holding \n Comfortable with accounting software and, ideally, an ERP — Odoo, Sage, Xero, QuickBooks or similar. Strong Excel is non-negotiable \n Practical about a construction/installation business: retentions, staged invoicing, subcontractors and CIS won't be a surprise to you \n \Experience improving or implementing finance systems \n \45,000 – £55,000 depending on experience and qualification \n ~ Full time, permanent, based at our Ammanford site \n ~20 days holiday plus bank holidays - growing 1 day per year to 25 days \n ~ Company pension \n ~ Free on-site parking \n ~ The chance to build the finance function properly rather than inherit someone else's version of it \n ~ n Send your CV and a short covering note telling us about a finance process you've improved or built from scratch.
