West Herts/Bucks Border
Hybrid (4 days office)

This isn't just another Finance Manager role. It's a chance to step into a key leadership position in an organisation that delivers meaningful, local impact every day.

The environment is fast-paced but warm and collaborative - you'll be part of a committed team who genuinely care about the people they support and the work they do. Reporting into an experienced and supportive Finance Director, you'll take full ownership of day-to-day finance operations and lead a small, capable team.

Key responsibilities include:
* Leading, coaching and developing a small finance team and volunteers
* Managing month-end and year-end processes, including audit prep and liaison with external auditors
* Preparing and submitting VAT returns, ensuring compliance and acting as main contact with HMRC
* Overseeing cashflow and short-term investments
* Supporting the monthly payroll process alongside the People team
* Collaborating closely with fundraising and trading teams to ensure accurate integration of financial data
* Managing accruals, prepayments, fixed assets and restricted funds
* Acting as the main point of contact for banking, systems and finance process queries
* Reviewing and improving internal controls and financial procedures
* Ensuring the finance function remains compliant, robust and audit-ready

We're looking for someone who is:
* Fully qualified (ACCA/CIMA or equivalent)
* Experienced in leading a finance team and owning the full month/year-end process
* Confident with systems (Sage Intacct experience a bonus) and has strong Excel skills
* Proactive, hands-on and comfortable working both strategically and operationally
* A natural collaborator who builds strong relationships across departments
* Calm under pressure, with excellent attention to detail and a solutions-focused mindset

The role is offered on a full-time, permanent basis with some flexible working (4 days in the office). The office is based in a beautiful setting on the Herts/Bucks border - commutable from places like Hemel, Watford, Tring, Berkhamsted, and St Albans.

If you're looking for a finance leadership role where purpose, people and professionalism come together, I'd love to tell you more. All conversations will be kept strictly confidential.

Drop me a message or email to arrange a chat - evenings or weekends are fine if that's easier.
