We are seeking an experienced and motivated Financial Controller to join our senior team and play a pivotal role in ensuring the financial sustainability and growth of our organisation.
This is an exciting opportunity for a finance professional who wants to use their skills to make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable people whilst helping shape the future of a respected and ambitious charity.
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, the Financial Controller will oversee all financial and accounting activities across the organisation. Working closely with our Finance Officer, management team, Treasurer and Board of Trustees, you will ensure robust financial management, compliance with charity accounting standards, and provide strategic financial insight to support organisational decision-making.
You will take ownership of financial reporting, budgeting, cashflow forecasting, year-end accounts and audit preparation, while also helping to identify opportunities to strengthen financial performance and improve systems and processes.
