About MCR

MCR Property Group is a dynamic and active property development company with offices in Manchester, Birmingham and London, offering excellent scope for personal and professional growth.

Our role

Due to continued growth, an exciting opportunity has arisen to join our successful and expanding construction finance team based at our head office in Manchester.

We are seeking a forward‑thinking, commercially astute individual who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and thrive in a fast‑paced environment—using your skills, knowledge and experience to help drive the company’s success—then this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

You will prepare monthly, quarterly and annual management accounts, taking full ownership of the financial activities for three construction companies. You will produce analysis for audit and tax purposes, input financial transactions into Sage 50, and prepare and submit VAT returns in line with statutory deadlines. The role also includes completing balance sheet reconciliations and providing detailed financial analysis to support decision‑making.

You will support the Construction Finance Manager and the construction purchase ledger team, while helping to implement and monitor new processes that enhance efficiency within the department. You will also oversee CIS returns, checks and reconciliations prior to final approval, and assist with any additional ad‑hoc tasks as required.

About you

We ideally seek a full or part‑qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA etc.), although candidates with extensive experience—or assistant management accountants ready for their next step—will also be considered. A background in property or construction is preferred but not essential.

You should have experience preparing and posting month‑end journals, completing ledger and control account reconciliations, and communicating financial information clearly both verbally and in writing. Strong Microsoft Excel skills, alongside excellent organisation and time‑management abilities, are essential.

Benefits

We offer a competitive salary between £30,000 and £40,000, along with on‑site gym membership, free parking and daily refreshments. You will receive your birthday off, 23 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, and an additional day of leave for every year of service (up to a maximum of 25 days plus bank holidays). You will also be joining a fantastic team, with access to ongoing training and development programmes.
