What We Expect from You Required skills & experience: * At least 5 years consulting experience (preferably with trades / plumbing / mechanical / construction businesses) * Strong financial modelling and data analytics ability * Deep understanding of UK employment law, tax rules (especially for subcontractors vs employees), pensions, and compliance * Experience recommending and implementing software & systems in field / trade businesses * Familiarity (or willingness to learn) plumbing / heating / service industry dynamics * Excellent communication skills, ability to explain complex financials simply * Experience delivering actionable, implementable strategy (not just theory) Deliverables & format: * Cost / expense audit with identified savings * Actionable plan (short, medium, long term) with priorities * Suggested software / system stack + cost vs benefit * Cashflow / profit forecasting model * Implementation support (mentoring / oversight) is a plus
Application Requirements When you apply, please include: 1. Your relevant experience (especially with trades / plumbing / service businesses) 2.
