We’re looking for an experienced Finance Director to help shape the future of our organisation. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you’ll bring strategic thinking, commercial insight and financial leadership to a mission-led charity.

You’ll work closely with the Chief Executive, Board of Trustees and Finance & Audit Committee, playing a central role in strengthening financial governance, improving insight and supporting confident, informed decision-making across the organisation.
If you’re looking for a role where your expertise can make a genuine difference, this could be the opportunity for you.

Strategic financial leadership

  • Act as a trusted adviser to the Chief Executive, Senior Leadership Team and Board
  • Provide clear financial insight, modelling and analysis to support strategy
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting and long-term financial planning
  • Develop high-quality monthly reporting, including forecasts, variance analysis and KPIs
  • Strengthen financial planning to support long-term sustainability
  • Present financial information clearly to both financial and non-financial audiences
  • Build risk management frameworks to mitigate financial and operational risks

Financial control and governance

  • Ensure compliance with legal, regulatory and financial requirements, including Companies House and the Charity Commission
  • Act as Company Secretary
  • Maintain the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of all financial reporting
  • Strengthen financial controls and governance across the organisation
  • Lead statutory accounts preparation and external audit processes
  • Oversee tax, VAT and charity compliance
  • Improve finance systems and processes using technology
  • Manage relationships with external stakeholders such as HMRC, auditors and insurers

Leadership and collaboration

  • Lead and support the Finance team (2 colleagues), helping them grow and develop

  • Support departmental planning and reporting
  • Deputise for the Chief Executive when required

About you:

You’re a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with significant senior finance leadership experience. You’re as comfortable shaping strategy as you are working in the detail, and you bring a practical, collaborative approach.
We’re particularly interested in someone who can demonstrate:
  • Strong commercial and strategic financial capability
  • Experience improving reporting, forecasting, controls and management information
  • A hands-on, solutions-focused mindset
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex financial information clearly
  • High levels of integrity, judgement and credibility
  • An interest in working in a purpose-led organisation
Knowledge of VAT and charity SORP would be an advantage, but isn’t essential.
