Your new company
Hays Accountancy & Finance are working in partnership with a charity-based organisation who are looking for a Finance Manager / Management Accountant to manage the day-to-day finances. This role is based near Fakenham North Norfolk and will be 5-days in the office.
Your new role
As the Finance Manager, you will take full responsibility for the transactional finance across the ledgers from trial balance through to the production of the monthly management accounts to include journals, balance sheet and bank reconciliations, as well as detailed variance analysis of costs vs. budgets and cashflow forecasting. Due to the nature of the charity, you will monitor various income streams, and support all areas of the charity with confident financial advice to maximise income and manage these operational costs.
Ideally, you will have experience of working in a charity or non-for-profit organisation, as the monthly reporting needs to meet financial compliance to charity SORP standards and be aware of VAT exceptions, as well as improve internal procedures regarding the recording of gift aid and donations.
Full training and support will be given but an understanding of charity / non-for-profit finances would be an advantage.
What you'll need to succeed
You will ideally be at least AAT Qualified or a Part-Qualified Accountant and able to produce the monthly management accounts, undertake extensive reconciliations, review various income streams and present your management accounts to the Trustees with commentary on variances, as well as statements on VAT returns, cashflow forecasting including gift aid / donations etc.
We will consider commercial accountants or ex-practice accountants who have a desire and passion to support a charitable organisation, provided you can demonstrate your understanding or ideally, experience of charity account reporting.
What you'll get in return
This will be an office-based role, working Monday to Friday and paying circa £35,000 with 28 days holiday including bank holidays. For more details of the overall package, please contact Andy Jarman on 01603 760141 and please be aware this will be a office-based role working 5 days week near Fakenham North Norfolk.
