Financial Controller Job at Parker Bridge (Porirua)

Job Description

I’m working with a long standing and steadily growing construction business who are looking for a commercially sharp Financial Controller to step into a genuinely influential role. This is a well respected organisation with deep roots in the industry, strong national customers, and a reputation for being easy to deal with and getting things done properly. This role goes well beyond traditional reporting. It will suit an experienced Financial Controller who enjoys being hands on, but also wants to think strategically about growth, margin, cash and governance. You will lead the finance function end to end, report directly into the GM, and act as a trusted advisor to both leadership and the family owners. The business is privately owned and operates in a close knit, family environment. Integrity is everything here. You will be deeply trusted, involved in sensitive financial matters, and relied on to bring clarity, compliance and sound judgement. The focus is on accuracy, purpose and commercial outcomes.
