Your newpany
Hays Accountancy & Finance are working in partnership with an organisation based on the outskirts of Fakenham near Walsingham who are looking for a sole Finance Manager / Management Accountant to manage the day-to-day finances. Any experience of the charity sector would be a bonus but not essential.
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 ie streams and support all areas of the charity with confident financial advice to maximise ie 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 financialpliance to charity SORP standards and be aware of VAT exceptions as well as gift aid and donations, but this is not essential as full training and support will be given. As an experienced bookkeeper / finance manager, this type of reporting should be easy to follow.
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 ie streams and present your management accounts to the Trustees withmentary on variances, as well as statements on VAT returns, cashflow forecasting including gift aid / donations etc.
We will considermercial accountants or ex-practice accountants who have a desire and passion to support a charitable organisation, but the core skills required will cover bookkeeping to trial balance, managing cashflow through to monthly management accounts as you would produce for an SME-type business.
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
