Volunteer Accountant | River Ivel Community Energy
We require an accountant for 1 or more of our 3 local Community Energy Groups (Greensand, River Ivel and Buzz). The groups are small with relatively low turnover but we are looking to expand and work more closely on the larger projects.
Having someone knowledgeable to do the accounts would be a massive weight off the shoulders of the current overstretched volunteers who are doing the accounts at the moment. With our expansion plans, we need expert help and advice. Having an accountant to volunteer with us is a vital part of our future vision.
What are we looking for?
* Accountant with experience of Community Benefits Society (desirable)
* Happy to work remotely as well as attend in-person meetings
* Proactive and willing to suggest better ways of working
* A passion for a sustainable future
* Willingness to get involved in other areas of the business (desirable)
What will you be doing?
* Produce quarterly financial management reports in a way that can easily feed into the creation of the annual report and accounts
* Produce the end-year accounts and the FCA's AR30 in readiness for AGMs
* Advise on better ways for us to manage our finances on a regular basis
You will need to be able to travel to Ampthill/Flitwick for the quarterly meetings. You will be asked to join other meetings which may be in person or online. All meetings are held in the evening. Initially, the role will be volunteering with Greensand Community Energy, but we would either like the role to expand to the other 2 groups or get more accounting volunteers.
We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and encourage applications from underrepresented groups.
