- Ensuring a smooth handover and transition from the current provider.
Occasional projects may include:
- A full review and restructuring of our Chart of Accounts.
- Retrospective re-coding of entries for YTD accuracy and reporting.
- Supporting audit/year-end examination preparations (collaborating with TC-Group as our year-end auditor).
Candidate Profile
We are looking for someone who:
- Has strong experience in operational charity finance or with social enterprises.
- Has demonstrable experience of restructuring a Chart of Accounts within finance systems.
- Holds or is training towards a recognised accounting qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or who can demonstrate equivalent experience in operational finance roles, particularly where they have led on financial reporting, forecasting and working within Xero-led systems.
- Has excellent working knowledge of Xero and related finance systems.
- Understands the operational pressures faced by small to medium-sized charities.
- Can lucidly explain financial information for colleagues with varied levels of financial literacy.
- Is detail-oriented, reliable and a clear communicator.

- Is based in the UK and able to attend NAPAC's London office at least once per month.
- Is available during business hours (09:00-17:00).

This role will primarily be delivered remotely, but requires in-person attendance at NAPAC's London office at least once per month. The successful provider must be available during UK business hours (09:00-17:00) to attend scheduled meetings as needed both via Teams online and in-person.
A laptop will not be provided, but full IT onboarding and access to relevant systems (e.g. Xero, Teams, secure file-sharing platforms) will be arranged, along with any required security protocols. Payment will be on a day-rate basis, agreed in advance.
