You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with current finance management and leadership experience. You will bring:
Extensive experience of bookkeeping, management accounting, reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cash management.
A strong understanding of charity or voluntary–sector finance and statutory reporting requirements.
Excellent analytical judgement and the ability to explain complex financial information clearly.
Advanced Excel skills and confidence using finance systems; experience of Xero and Dext would be beneficial.
Strong planning, organisation, communication, negotiation and problem–solving skills.
