Head of Finance in Poole

We are delighted to be working on a retained basis with ICB Group in Poole, join them and play a pivotal role in guiding a high-performing, commercially minded team as they deliver on ambitious growth plans. ICB is a well-established group of three companies in the construction sector, with over 40 years’ experience and an enviable reputation for quality, reliability, and technical excellence. With operations across Nottingham, Coatbridge, Cardiff and Poole, and a turnover of £17m+, ICB offers a unique package of solutions to clients across the UK. With sustainability and “green” solutions being ever more important in the sector, ICB is perfectly placed to achieve its growth targets over the coming years.

The Role

As Head of Finance, you’ll be at the heart of the senior team, reporting directly to the CEO and leading a talented finance function across their sites. This is your opportunity to take on your next challenge, where you will have full ownership of group financial performance, the ability to influence strategic decisions, and help steer ICB through its next phase of growth.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

• A hands-on, strategic role with influence at board level, where you can implement robust financial strategies which will drive performance and profitability.
• A collaborative, commercially minded team with a track record of success.
• A business investing in its people, systems, and infrastructure for the future.
• The chance to shape financial strategy in a sector where sustainability and “green” solutions will continue to drive growth.

Your impact:

• Develop and deliver financial strategies that underpin the group’s growth plans and enhance profitability.
• Lead and develop a high-performing finance team (across Nottingham, Coatbridge, Cardiff and Poole), fostering a culture of excellence and accountability.
• Lead all aspects of financial control, including management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, and cashflow management.
• Present consolidated financial reports to senior management, ensuring accuracy and insight.
• Drive improvements in systems, processes, and reporting to support scalability.
• Oversee statutory accounts, audit processes, and compliance with UK accounting standards and HMRC requirements.
• Collaborate with other departments to identify and manage financial risks and lead continuous improvement initiatives.

About You

• Qualified accountant (CIMA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with a strong track record in senior finance roles—ideally within an SME, group, or owner-managed business.
• Experience in construction, manufacturing, or product-based sectors is a plus, but commercially astute leaders from other backgrounds are welcome.
• A collaborative, proactive leader who inspires and develops teams across multiple sites.
• Excellent communicator, confident engaging at all levels.
• Analytical, hands-on, and solutions-focused, with a passion for continuous improvement.

What’s on Offer

• 25 days annual leave (including Christmas shutdown) plus bank holidays.
• Enhanced pension scheme.
• Private health insurance.
• Discretionary annual bonus.
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
• Parking & EV Charging available on site.
