Looking to step into a senior finance role with full ownership of control, reporting, and governance?
Ready to lead a high-performing team and drive process improvement at scale?
Seeking a role where your expertise is recognised and your impact is visible across the organisation?
As Financial Control Manager / Financial Controller, you’ll take on a key leadership role within the Finance function, owning statutory accounts, internal controls, and monthly reporting for the charity and its subsidiaries. The role offers the scope and complexity associated with Financial Controller-level responsibilities and is ideal for a finance professional looking to step into broader leadership. Working closely with the Head of Financial Planning & Control, you’ll bring structure, assurance, and operational excellence to a multi-entity, regulated environment—supporting financial decisions that underpin long-term sustainability and contributing to the successful delivery of the charity’s 2025–30 strategy.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll lead a team of 3–4 and be responsible for the delivery of high-quality financial control, assurance and reporting across the charity and its subsidiaries. You’ll focus on month-end, statutory accounts, balance sheet integrity, and driving improvements in financial policies and forecasting.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading the month-end close and delivering timely, accurate management accounts with variance analysis
* Preparing statutory accounts in line with FRS 102 and Charity SORP requirements
* Managing key balance sheet reconciliations, including aged debt and capital expenditure
* Developing cash flow and balance sheet forecasting methodologies
* Leading the design and implementation of improved financial policies and a Finance team handbook
* Supporting tax compliance and external audit readiness
* Managing and developing a small team, and supporting Finance Business Partners with accurate and timely financial data
* Contributing to wider finance transformation and cross-departmental planning initiatives
About You
You’ll bring the expertise and judgement to lead financial control, reporting, and assurance in a dynamic environment. You may be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), or bring equivalent experience gained through senior finance roles with strong technical oversight.
You will bring:
* Experience in financial control, statutory reporting, and structured month-end processes
* A focus on accuracy, assurance, and continuous improvement across finance operations
* The ability to lead and support teams through change, with clear expectations and coaching
* Confidence communicating financial information to both finance and non-finance audiences
* A hands-on, solutions-focused approach with sound judgement and attention to detail
Equality, diversity, and inclusion:
Equality, diversity, and inclusion are incredibly important to us; we have a culture of belonging. We’re always looking to increase the diversity of our workforce to ensure we can provide the best service possible for everyone. It’s not just about the professional experience you bring – we’re interested in who you are and your potential.
