The Finance Manager reports to the Chief Officer with responsibility for the accurate and effective operation of the organisation’s financial systems to ensure that the Chief Officer, Treasurer and Trustee Board have the information they require to manage the organisation’s finances effectively and efficiently. The Finance Manager works in line with the aims, policies and principles of the Citizens Advice service, and in line with Companies House and the Charity Commission.

CADAT is an increasingly complex not-for-profit organisation with various funding streams (restricted and unrestricted funds) to deliver a wide range of projects to local residents in need of advice and support. The organisation has significantly grown in recent years, and funded projects now make up the majority of our income, but it is important that we maintain our core generalist advice service, for which funding is less secure. The Finance Manager has a crucial role in helping other CADAT staff understand our current financial position, whilst planning ahead to maximise grant funding and maintain our vital services.

The post holder will be located at our main office in Diss, but home working is currently strongly encouraged. The applicant will need to demonstrate a good grasp of technology, but training will be offered in Citizens Advice systems.

The closing date for applications is Monday 26th April.  Interviews will be held remotely by video call in the week commencing 3rd May.
