• Ensure proper documentation and digital filing of records required for public disclosure and internal audits.
• Policy & Procedure Oversight:
• Develop and review internal financial governance procedures to ensure alignment with current charity regulations.
• Implement processes that support accuracy, transparency, and accountability.
• Financial Risk Management:
• Monitor regulatory risks, providing advice to the board on charity finance law and filing compliance.
• Support internal risk assessments relating to finance, governance, and controls.
• Liaison and Reporting:
• Provide clear, timely financial and compliance updates to the board of trustees.
• Advise on financial implications of strategic decisions and ensure governance actions align with reporting obligations.

Qualifications

• Accounting or Audit Qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA) – essential
• Charity sector experience with direct knowledge of SORP, Charity Commission filing, and ideally Companies House – highly desirable
• Strong understanding of UK charity regulatory frameworks
• Excellent organisational and time management skills, with a strong eye for detail
• Clear communication skills, able to explain filing and audit requirements to non-financial stakeholders
• Proficient in financial reporting software (e.g. Xero, QuickBooks, or similar) and Excel

What We Offer

• Impactful Role: Directly influence the compliance and long-term sustainability of a growing charity supporting the neurodiverse community
• Flexible Work Environment: Remote working with occasional collaborative sessions as needed
