Interim Finance Manager (Charity) - Truro / Hybrid - Circa: £36,000

There’s something special about assisting charities with their recruitment. Understandably, they’re often a little restricted by their financial buying power, but what they lack in that department they really make up for in passion and enthusiasm. This long standing client is no exception - a fantastically friendly and down to earth team that really put their colleagues at the forefront.

They’ve exclusively engaged us to source an interim Finance Manager to cover a selection of responsibilities handled by the Deputy Director of Finance (also introduced by Trial Balance Consulting), as she heads off on maternity leave. This is a full time contract with an anticipated duration circa 15 months, but with some potential for extension - the existing incumbent has every intention of returning! The role will be based from their Truro based offices (with onsite parking), but the organisation is open to both flexible and hybrid working where suitable - details to be discussed with candidates at interview.

Working closely alongside a highly experienced and super-supportive Finance Director, the incoming Finance Manager will manage a team 3-4 and will play a pivotal role in ensuring high quality day-to-day financial operations of a busy and highly respected charitable organisation. Key responsibilities to include:

- Maintenance and development of the charity’s digital accounting platforms (Xero, Sage and a range of bespoke tools)

- Manage, mentor and develop a small team of transactional focussed colleagues

- Ensure adherence with charity reporting deadlines and procedures

- Regularly partner with other colleagues and departments outside of finance, leading and influencing on best practice

- Regularly attend strategical and operational meetings reporting on financial position

- Alongside the Finance Director, attend board meetings meeting with CEO

- Assist with month and year end procedures, and annual audit

- Budgeting and forecasting

- Cashflow reporting

Who are we looking for? We love working with this employer because their open minded. There are very few prerequisites and they are open to receiving applicants either part/fully AAT qualified (or higher), or those that consider themselves to be qualified through vocational experience. Likewise, experience gained in a not-for-profit setting would be very welcome, but the door certainly isn’t closed to candidates applying from a commercial environment. The role would be as equally well suited to an experienced Finance Manager as it would an experienced Bookkeeper, or even an ambitious Assistant Accountant seeking to broaden their skills and knowledge. They do require the successful candidate to have a sound understanding of payroll policies and they would also appreciate applicants having a good understanding of digital accounting systems, and an aptitude to learn new packages.

Sound good? We think this is a brilliant opportunity to work with a great team that really understand work/life balance. For further details and to apply, please contact Steve Roach quoting reference SR10118. Please don’t delay if the role is of interest - this employer plans a perfectly efficient recruitment process, interviewing on spec and with no drawn out processes.
