Part-Time Finance Manager (Charity)

Trial Balance; Truro; On-site; GBP 60,000 - 80,000; Part time

Job description

There are many factors to consider when looking for a new role. The remuneration needs to be right, the location needs to be suitable and the role responsibilities need to suit. However, one element which can often be over-looked is the nature of the employer’s work and how this lines up with your values and beliefs. This is a role with an organisation that is steeped in Cornish history and that has ambitious plans moving forward...

Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been re-assigned by a long-standing client, a well-known and respected not-for-profit organisation based in Truro, to help in their search for a new Finance Manager. The role is offered on a permanent and part-time basis with flexible working hours.

This is a position of pivotal responsibilities within the organisation and one that works closely with the directors and other stakeholders. Working as part of a small but passionate team, this will be a broad and varied role with the following responsibilities:

1. Acting as the finance number one for the charity, overseeing day-to-day accounting activity
2. Production of management accounts for presentation with commentary to the board
3. Bank reconciliations
4. Cashflow and income monitoring
5. Monthly payroll operations to include employee pensions
6. Preparation and maintenance of annual and monthly balance sheets
7. VAT preparation and submission
8. Liaison with external auditors and stakeholders
9. Liaison with all departments on financial issues.

The successful candidate will of course have strong experience in all aspects of end-to-end accounting, with a track record of achieving results. However, just as important is having the right personality and commitment to the organisation’s values. This isn’t a role that will suit someone who is looking to ‘go through the motions’; this is a role which requires a candidate who is going to be able to make a real difference. Previous experience gained in a charity accounting environment would be highly advantageous, but this employer recognises that a commercially astute Finance Manager with exposure gained in the private sector will also have a lot to offer here. Likewise, we invite applications from candidates who are qualified/part qualified or those that consider themselves to be qualified by experience.
