You will act as a trusted and impartial point of contact for staff, freelancers, and sessional workers while helping us embed sustainable HR systems, processes, and ways of working that will support the organisation into its next phase.

- Act as the organisation's technical accounting expert, ensuring compliance with charity accounting standards and evolving regulations.
- Support strategic projects by providing insight into financial, tax, treasury, and compliance implications.
- Identify opportunities to strengthen controls, improve reporting, and maximise the value of finance systems.

What you'll need:
- Experience preparing charity statutory accounts and managing year-end audits, either in industry or practice.
- Strong knowledge of charity accounting, VAT and SORP FRS102.
- A proactive approach to process improvement and problem-solving.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills and the confidence to challenge constructively.
