Part-Time Finance Manager (Charity)

Part-Time Finance Manager (Charity) – Truro – Circa £35k FTE

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: 

- Acting as the finance number one for the charity, overseeing day-to-day accounting activity

- Production of management accounts for presentation with commentary to the board

- Budget forecasting

- Bank reconciliations

- Cashflow and income monitoring

- Monthly payroll operations to include employee pensions

- Preparation and maintenance of annual and monthly balance sheets

- VAT preparation and submission

- Liaison with external auditors and stakeholders

-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.
