Job description

Are you a skilled finance professional who can make numbers make sense to non-finance colleagues? Are you looking for a rewarding part-time role where your expertise can make a real impact? Do you want to use your skills to strengthen financial resilience in the not-for-profit sector? If yes, this could be your next job!

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a community-focused organisation as their Finance Manager, on a 0.8 FTE basis. Working closely with the CEO and senior team, you will oversee financial management and contribute to the delivery of vital services that make a rea difference in people’s lives across London.

The key duties of this Finance Manager will be:

• Manage budgets across multiple funding streams, supporting budget holders with monitoring and reporting.
• Oversee day-to-day financial transactions, liaising with outsourced providers for payroll, accounts, and reporting.
• Play a vital role in the preparation of timely financial statements for staff and the Board, ensuring accurate and clear reporting.
• Lead on bank reconciliations, cash flow, debtors, and grant compliance.
• Support the development of grant applications and tenders with accurate financial input.
• Ensure financial processes meet all compliance standards and assist with audits.
• Act as a key partner to the CEO and senior leaders, strengthening financial understanding across the organisation.

This role offers the chance to be more than just the numbers - you’ll play a central role in supporting the organisation’s growth and sustainability. This is a well-structured finance function where your knowledge and experience will have visible impact. You’ll be joining a committed, inclusive, and passionate team who work collaboratively to deliver services that support marginalised communities and groups across London.

The successful candidate will be:

• Experienced in managing service budgets across multiple funding sources
• Proficient in financial administration with strong knowledge of financial systems
• Able to communicate complex financial information clearly to colleagues and stakeholders who may not have a finance background
• Commercially minded, outcome-driven, and able to identify opportunities for growth
• Ideally, experienced in the charity sector, but candidates without this will still be considered

This role will officially be based out of the charity's offices in London, although office attendance is only required a few times per month!

If you’re looking for a meaningful part-time finance leadership role (0.8 FTE) where you can see the impact of your work every day, we’d love to hear from you.
