Rotherham

Our client is the lead body for supporting, developing and promoting the voluntary and community sector (VCS) in the Rotherham Borough. Their role is to facilitate effective action to bring about positive change in the lives of individuals and communities in the local area.

As Senior Finance Officer, you will assist the Finance Manager in the effective and efficient operation of the organisation’s finance, accounting, contract management and other systems as required, in line with the requirements of the Board, Company and Charity law and other relevant legislation.

The successful candidate will have:

• Previous experience of working at a senior level, with specific responsibility for financial management, reporting and producing accounts.
• Experience of financial planning, forecasting and modelling.
• Excellent IT skills and Microsoft Excel skills to include creating pivot tables, VLookup, sumifs and other similar formulas.
• Experience of payroll processing and reporting.
• Knowledge of and understanding of computer-based accounting systems, SORP and Charity/Company law.

As well as being able to undertake the financial duties required, the successful candidate must be able to work alone and as part of a small team, and communicate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, including communicating financial information to non-financial colleagues clearly and concisely. As well as a good understanding of financial systems and procedures, the successful candidate must be able to manage multiple demands and have a keen eye for detail.

Being a member of a professional accounting body (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, AAT etc.) is desirable, but is not essential. Experience of working within the Charitable or Third Sector would be advantageous but again is not essential.
