accountant jobs

At HT Church Cambridge, we’re looking for someone to be responsible for all aspects of our church finances. You’ll be enthusiastic, discreet, trustworthy, diplomatic, and able to keep calm under pressure. For applicants with additional HR experience, we can offer up to 37.5 hours per week (full-time) for the right candidate.

HT is a growing church with around 1,000 people (including children, young people, students, and adults), 34 staff, and an annual turnover of around £1.5 million. Our finances are also growing and becoming more complex, and we are looking for a capable and enthusiastic Finance Officer to facilitate our continued growth.

As Finance Officer, you will be directly or indirectly responsible for all aspects of church finances – from managing the day-to-day running of the church finances to ensuring all transactions are posted and reconciled, producing timely, accurate, and insightful monthly financial information, and working with the auditors to produce a set of audited accounts at the end of the financial year.

While you will be day-to-day line managed by the Operations Director, you will work closely with the Treasurer, who will oversee you and advise you on financial aspects of your work.

This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified bookkeeper to join our small staff team in a part-time Finance Manager role. As a successful local charity with a committed and engaged board of Trustees, you'll be helping support young people with their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

You'll be responsible for managing the charity's day-to-day financial matters, ensuring transactions are accurately recorded, maintaining compliance with statutory and charity requirements and tracking specific project funds so the organisation can report transparently to donors and trustees. We're looking for someone with experience of charity finance management, who is self-motivated and focused, and able to work independently. 

The role is available either as paye or on a freelance basis at £25 per hour. It's mainly remote working, with occasional time spent in the Twickenham office. 

Responsibilities

• Dealing with all the day-to-day financial activities of the charity (the charity uses QuickBooks). In particular, processing and setting up for payment, supplier invoices and expense claims; issuing invoices for services or grants; recording donations, fundraising proceeds, and grant receipts, and reconciling all bank accounts, petty cash, and credit card statements. The recording in QuickBooks involves fund accounting, as some income is restricted and some is unrestricted.
• Managing and recording the transactions from outsourced payroll and pension providers.
• Production of Quarterly management accounts using an Excel template.
• Production of cash flow forecasts.
• Attendance at Business Committee Meetings on Zoom 6 times a year.
• Preparing the required schedules and liaison with the external Independent Examiner, in order for them to sign-off the charity’s statutory accounts in line with the Charities SORP.
• Generating financial analyses required by grant-makers regarding the utilisation of money granted by them to the charity.
• Processing gift aid claims.
• Working with the Manager and Treasurer to prepare the charity’s annual budget.
• Supporting the Manager with the management of any capital projects. This may include production of budgets and forecasts and management of specific grants relating to those projects.
• Ad hoc financial support to the Manager and Treasurer.

We're seeking an efficient and effective individual who acts in accordance with The Nolan Principles. You'll be proficient in QuickBooks and Excel and have an understanding of GDPR.

Key Responsibilities 

• Play an active role in SMT – contributing operational and financial insight to organisational planning, strategy development, and decision-making alongside the CEO and senior leadership team.

About Orbis UK

Orbis UK is an affiliate of Orbis International, an eye care charity that transforms lives through the prevention and treatment of avoidable blindness and visual impairment.

Over 1.1 billion people live with vision loss in the world today. Yet for a staggering 90% of these people, visual impairment is treatable or could have been prevented.

At Orbis we work to change this injustice by providing treatment to thousands of people each year, training new generations of eye health-workers, and leading cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs that restore sight. Our vision is a world where communities strive together in the fight to save sight, and no-one is needlessly blind.

Orbis UK (Orbis Charitable Trust) is a registered charity in the UK and raises income from funders across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, towards our global commitment to eliminate avoidable blindness. In 2025, the UK team raised £10m.  These funds supported 18 projects across 8 countries. With these funds we delivered 9,908 training sessions for health workers, enabled 469,287 eye screenings, 37,378 treatments and delivered 2.5m doses of antibiotics to tackle trachoma.

Our ambition is to grow our income consistently over £10 million per year within the next five years.

About the role

Orbis UK is offering the role of Senior Finance Officer, as the organisation seeks to grow and build on past successes to reach its target of achieving £10m income in the next 5 years.

This role will sit within the Finance Team, which is responsible for the day-to-day finance operations of the organisation supporting both the Finance Manager and the Director of Finance and Operations in processing payments, payroll, journals, bank reconciliations and other key financial tasks needed for the successful running of a small international charity.

This is an ideal role for someone who has an appetite for growth in their skills and knowledge and who has an aptitude for process and structure, which is critical when helping to manage the resources of an organisation, ensuring financial discipline and effective controls are maintained throughout.

Applications from candidates seeking to work part time (30 hours per week) will be considered for the right candidate, which can be worked flexibly.

The main responsibilities of this role are:

• To provide effective financial support to the Finance team and the wider organisation to ensure the smooth running of the charity.
