This is a varied role, combining management accounts, budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting with the day-to-day operational finance duties that keep the organisation running effectively.

Main duties include:

• Oversee the day-to-day finance function, ensuring transactions, reconciliations and reporting are completed accurately and on time.
• Take ownership of monthly management accounts and month-end processes.
• Prepare financial reports and provide clear financial information to senior stakeholders.
• Manage cash flow, purchase and sales ledgers and general financial operations.
• Work closely with budget holders on budgeting, forecasting and financial performance.
• Support project budgeting and financial planning.
• Provide financial input into business planning and organisational projects.
• Work with colleagues to investigate variances and resolve financial queries.
• Oversee membership and income-related reconciliations, working closely with the CRM system.
• Produce and run reports through the organisation's CRM and finance systems.
• Maintain strong financial controls and ensure processes are continually improved.

Most importantly, you will have a solid understanding of management accounts, financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting, alongside the confidence to take ownership of the day-to-day finance function.

You will ideally possess strong experience across management and financial accounts coupled with budgeting, forecasting and business partnering. You will be a competent user in excel and possess strong communication skills and the confidence to work with non-finance colleagues. Experience within the charity/not-for-profit sector would be advantageous, but is not essential.

This role benefits from hybrid working with office presence required twice per week including flexible working hours and a supportive and friendly working environment.
