Charity Finance Manager - Bideford - £35,000 FTE + hybrid working
This is a brand-new opportunity to shape the finance function of a well-established, purpose-driven charity doing vital work in its community. The role is initially being offered on a part-time basis (2 or 3 days per week).
As Charity Finance Manager, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day finances, bringing clarity, structure and insight to support the charity’s leadership and trustees. It’s a role for someone who enjoys being hands‑on but also wants their work to genuinely make a difference.
Working closely with the Director (and Treasurer), you’ll look after everything from transactional finance through to management accounts, budgeting and year‑end preparation. You’ll play a key role in ensuring the charity remains compliant, financially sustainable and well‑placed for the future.
Key responsibilities:
* Running the day-to‑day finance function, including income, expenditure, payroll and bank reconciliations
* Producing monthly management accounts and supporting budgeting and forecasting
* Managing restricted and unrestricted funds, ensuring compliance with donor and grant conditions
* Supporting statutory reporting, Gift Aid and year‑end accounts
* Acting as the go‑to person for finance queries across the organisation
* Helping to develop and improve financial processes as the role becomes established
This role would suit a hands‑on finance professional with experience in a charity, not‑for‑profit or values‑led environment. Who is comfortable producing management accounts, supporting budgets and year‑end accounts and navigating the complexities of restricted and unrestricted funds. You’ll bring a practical, approachable style, enjoy getting involved across the organisation and take pride in keeping things accurate and compliant. A working knowledge of Xero would be beneficial, but it’s not essential.
Hybrid working is available by agreement, and you’ll be joining a collaborative team where your finance skills directly support meaningful work in the community. For more information or to apply please contact Steve Roach and quote ref SR10874.
