  • Prepare monthly management accounts with clear commentary for non-finance stakeholders
  • Manage cashflow forecasting and budgeting processes
  • Ensure compliance with charity accounting standards and regulatory requirements
  • Lead on VAT returns and year-end preparation, liaising with external advisors/auditors
  • Support senior leadership with ad hoc financial analysis and decision-making

 

Who are we looking for:

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, CA or equivalent) or qualified by experience
  • Proven experience in SME or charity environments, ideally in a standalone or small team role
  • Strong technical grounding with the ability to translate numbers into meaningful insight
  • Hands-on, proactive, and comfortable operating in a part-time capacity
  • Strong systems experience (e.g. Xero, Sage or similar)
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach

 

Why apply:


This is a great opportunity to make a genuine impact within a values-led organisation, offering flexibility and the chance to work closely with a committed leadership team. It would suit someone looking for a meaningful interim role where they can quickly add value.
