The Role
This charity is expanding its services, creating a need for more robust financial systems, controls and reporting. Following a migration from Sage to Xero, you will play a key role in embedding the new system and supporting the organisation as it grows.
Working closely with the Head of Finance, ICT & Data, you will provide practical financial support while helping to strengthen processes and improve financial visibility across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the implementation and ongoing development of Xero, ensuring accurate and efficient financial processes.
- Manage day-to-day bookkeeping, invoice processing and payments.
- Oversee local authority invoicing and support donor-related financial queries.
- Develop and improve financial reporting, including budget-versus-actual reports for individual budget holders.
- Work with service managers to review expenditure, monitor budgets and improve financial understanding.
- Review and strengthen financial controls, including expenses and payment card processes.
- Provide advice and guidance on financial processes to support the charity's continued growth.
- Assist with ad hoc reporting and wider finance projects as required.
About You
We are looking for a hands-on finance professional who can hit the ground running and make a positive impact in a small, evolving finance function.
You will ideally have:
- Previous experience working within the charity or not-for-profit sector.
- Strong practical experience of Xero and financial reporting.
- Experience in bookkeeping, purchase ledger, payment processing and invoicing.
- A good understanding of budgeting, financial controls and process improvement.
- The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and communicate effectively with non-finance stakeholders.
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach, with the confidence to recommend improvements.
