- Prepare simplified annual accounts and financial reports suitable for a small CIO.
- Advise the Board of Trustees on financial matters, ensuring informed decision-making.
- Oversee bank reconciliations, expense tracking, and budget monitoring.
- Ensure compliance with Charity Commission regulations and reporting deadlines.
- Provide guidance on zakat-eligible projects and ensure funds are managed in accordance with Islamic charitable principles where applicable.
- Help develop and review financial policies and procedures.
- Attend trustee meetings (typically quarterly) and provide financial updates.
- Brainstorm and share experience of novel and sustainable fundraising ideas.
Skills & Experience
Essential:
- Experience with bookkeeping, accounting, or finance (qualified accountant or qualified by experience).
- Familiarity with charity finance and reporting requirements (especially for small charities/CIOs).
- Strong attention to detail and ability to present financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues.
- Understanding of Islamic giving, including zakat, and ability to advise appropriately.
- Commitment to the values and objectives of the charity.
Desirable:
- Knowledge of digital accounting tools (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero, Excel).
- Previous trustee or treasurer experience in a charity setting.
- Experience of fundraising.
- Based in or familiar with the Liverpool community.
- Special interest in aligned issues or geographies.
