Our client is a well-established and growing construction business based in Cork, operating across multiple active entities within the group. The company is involved in a range of construction projects and has built a strong reputation for quality delivery and professionalism.

Due to a long-term illness within the finance team, the business now requires an experienced Temporary Accountant to provide ongoing support. This is a key role within the organisation and will remain in place for as long as the business requires cover.

The Temporary Accountant will be responsible for managing accounting and finance activities across three active companies within the construction group. The role will involve hands‑on involvement in payroll, subcontractor payments, month‑end processes, and year‑end support.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accountant who is available at short notice and comfortable working in a temporary, ongoing capacity.
