Job description

Finance & IT Manager - Saltash - Circa: £35,000

Trial Balance Consulting have been exclusively engaged by a new client, a specialist public services organisation with close ties to the NHS network in Cornwall. The organisation seeks to recruit a Finance Manager (with additional IT responsibilities), to join them in a newly created role.

The position is offered as a full-time, permanent contract to be based at the organisation’s headquarters in Saltash but with some potential for hybrid working to be discussed with shortlisted candidates. The role may entail a small amount of local travel across East Cornwall.

Working closely with the Operations Manager, the successful candidate will assume key responsibility for managing the organisation's day-to-day financial controls and IT systems (software-focused rather than hardware). This will be a varied and interesting role that will allow the successful candidate to shape an efficient and streamlined function.

Key Responsibilities:

• Production of financial breakdowns and statistics to aid the allocation of finances
• Production of management accounts for senior management team and Clinical Director (as well as satisfying transparency of accounting)
• Ensure adherence to all relevant guidelines and legislation
• Expenditure and budget management
• Administration of expenditure claims ensuring an accurate audit trail
• Management of the accounts payable and receivable function
• Payroll processing for onward submission to an external bureau
• Oversee the IT infrastructure ensuring that systems are efficient and streamlined
• Consider opportunities to enhance the organisation's technology systems, adopting new digital tools where appropriate
• Provide IT support to colleagues
• Maintain the organisation's website and intranet

For this role, we seek an experienced Finance Manager, Bookkeeper or perhaps an Assistant Accountant looking to step up - either part/fully AAT/professionally qualified or qualified through vocational experience. The role combines both finance and IT responsibilities so experience in, or aptitude to manage technology systems will be essential. This is a highly visible role that will support a wide team so excellent interpersonal and team working skills will be essential.
