Advocacy is a powerful force for change. It allows individuals to have their voices heard and respected when decisions are being made about their health and social care. It raises awareness of people’s rights and entitlements and empowers people to advocate for themselves.
The Advocacy People is seeking a proactive, professional Finance Manager to join our Central Services team. You’ll play a key role in supporting our mission to put people at the heart of everything we do.

We help high-impact nonprofits run brilliantly - now we need someone to do the same for us. You'll own Impact Ops' finances, payroll, contracts and compliance, reporting straight to the founder.
Summary
Impact Ops is looking for a Finance & Operations Manager to join our team. This is a newly created, internal-facing role: rather than working on client portfolios, you’ll own the financial and operational machinery of Impact Ops itself. The salary range for this role is £50,000–£60,000 GBP, depending on experience, with flexibility for exceptional candidates.
We’re looking for a qualified accountant who is genuinely happy to be hands-on, someone who can handle a corporation tax return and a contracting in the same afternoon and see both as worth doing well. If you want breadth, autonomy, and a role where you can see the whole organisation from the inside, we’d love to hear from you. The deadline to apply is 11 October 2026.
About Impact Ops
Impact Ops is an independent organization providing finance and operations support to high-impact nonprofits. Our services include bookkeeping, financial reporting, accounts payable, payroll, recruitment, entity setup, due diligence, and systems implementation. We serve over 50 clients globally, spanning cause areas including global health, animal welfare, AI safety, and climate.
We’re a remote-first team based across the world. We’re looking for motivated, detail-oriented people who care about doing good work in service of organizations trying to do good in the world.
The role
Everything we do for our clients, we also have to do for ourselves — and to date that work has been spread across the founder, the finance team, and external accountants. This role brings it together under one owner.
As Finance & Operations Manager, you’ll run Impact Ops’ own finances, company secretarial obligations, payroll, invoicing, contracting, and HR administration. You’ll report to Joshua Axford (Founder & CEO) and work closely with Eric (Head of Finance), who leads our client-facing finance function.
It’s a broad role with real trust attached. You’ll have visibility into every commercially sensitive part of the business, and you’ll be the person we rely on to keep it running properly.
Finance
- Owning Impact Ops’ bookkeeping, month-end close, and management accounts
- Preparing annual accounts
- Cash flow forecasting and budget tracking
- Accounts receivable and accounts payable: raising client invoices, chasing payment, processing supplier invoices and payment runs
- VAT returns and corporation tax submissions
Company secretarial & compliance
- Confirmation statements, annual returns, and Companies House filings
- Maintaining statutory registers and corporate records
- Insurance renewals across the group, including professional indemnity, private medical and employers’ liability
Payroll
- Running end-to-end monthly payroll for our UK team, including RTI submissions, PAYE/NI, and pension auto-enrolment
- Coordinating payments for team members engaged internationally across several jurisdictions
- Year-end tasks including P60s and P11Ds
Contracts & client administration
- Drafting, issuing, and tracking client Service Level Agreements
- Managing employment contracts and contractor agreements for the team
- Maintaining a reliable view of contractual obligations, renewal dates, and scope changes
HR administration
- Onboarding and offboarding administration
- Maintaining people records and keeping our HR systems accurate
- Leave tracking, benefits administration, and equipment provisioning
About you
You’ll need to have:
- A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent) — or qualified by experience with a track record that speaks for itself
- Experience running or providing accounting support for the finance function of a small business, or a comparable breadth of ownership within a larger one
- UK payroll experience, or the confidence to take it on with support
- Genuine comfort with administrative work: this role is hands on and we’d rather be honest about that than have you discover it in month two
- Strong judgement about confidentiality and discretion — you’ll see everything
- The ability to work independently in a remote environment and set your own priorities
- A genuine desire to have a positive impact with your career
It would be a bonus if you also have:
- Practice background: experience in an accountancy practice, particularly with company secretarial work
- Contract administration experience: comfort reading and drafting commercial agreements
- Familiarity with our tool stack: Xero, Ramp, Deel, Apron, or similar
- A process improvement mindset: you spot inefficiencies and take initiative to address them
- Commercial exposure: experience with pricing, proposals, or commercial analysis — not required for the role as scoped, but useful as it develops
Compensation & logistics
- Salary: £50,000–£60,000 GBP, depending on experience. There may be flexibility for exceptional candidates.
- Location: Remote, but we have a strong preference for candidates based in the UK and specifically the South West. This role involves periodic in-person co-working with the CEO, and the trust-level nature of the work benefits from face-to-face time.
- Hours: Full-time, or part-time (at least 3 days a week or equivalent) depending on candidate preference
- Start date: 1 December 2026 preferred, but we’re flexible for the right person — a Q1 2027 start is fine if you have a longer notice period
- Application deadline: 11 October 2026
Growth & Progression
We’re deliberately hiring above the immediate need. The brief described here is where the role starts, not where we expect it to stay: as Impact Ops scales, we anticipate significant operational leadership responsibility sitting with whoever takes this on, and we’d rather find that person now than replace them later.
We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with the business.
Our benefits include:
- Prioritised health & wellbeing: Private medical, vision, and dental insurance; up to 2 weeks’ paid sick leave; a generous mental health allowance
- Flexible working: Set your own schedule (with some overlap with colleagues as needed); remote workspace covered if needed
- Generous vacation: 25 days’ holiday per year plus public holidays — we encourage you to use the full allowance
- Professional development: A generous annual allowance for CPD, plus on-the-job growth and clear progression pathways
- Retirement: Pension with 10% employer contribution
- Parental leave: Up to 14 weeks fully paid, up to 52 weeks total; financial support for childcare where needed
- Equipment: Full remote setup covered (laptop, monitors, chair, etc.)
- Team retreats: Two in-person staff retreats per year
How to apply
To apply, please submit your CV and a short cover letter explaining your interest in the role and relevant experience.
We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and warmly encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
Diversity and inclusion
We’re aware that factors like gender, race, and socioeconomic background can affect people’s willingness to apply for roles for which they meet some but not all the suggested attributes. We’d especially like to encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to express interest.
There’s no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. If you’re on the fence about applying because you’re unsure whether you’re qualified, we’d encourage you to apply.
If you require any adjustments to the application process, such as accessibility accommodations, additional preparation time, or other, please let us know. We’re happy to support your needs and adjust the application process.
Thank you!
