About Crowdfunder

At Crowdfunder, we’re on a mission to tackle society’s biggest challenges by making ideas happen. We believe that the most transformative ideas often come from within the community.

This is a hands‑on, part‑time role within a collaborative finance team. You’ll share responsibilities with the wider accounting function and work closely with the Finance Manager and another Finance Assistant to support day‑to‑day finance operations and month‑end processes.

• Performing regular bank reconciliations
• Entering and processing invoices accurately and on time
• Setting up supplier payments and supporting payment runs
• Assisting with cash flow forecasting and monitoring
