• Prepare payment runs, ensuring adherence to approval limits and authorisation processes.
• Reconcile expense card balances and bank balances on a regular basis.
• Support the implementation and continuous improvement of financial controls across global operations.

Month-end, year-end and audit

• Lead audit liaison on project audits within the portfolio.
• Assist with preparation for the annual organisational audit and with responses to audit queries.

Records and systems

• Maintain accurate financial records and supporting documentation using cloud-based storage.

Essential skills and experience

• Demonstrable commitment to EJF’s vision, mission and values and a determination to change the world for the better.
• Part-qualified Accountant (ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), fully-qualified AAT, or a minimum of three years’ relevant finance experience.
• Strong working knowledge of Excel, including the ability to build and interrogate spreadsheets for budgeting, reporting and reconciliation (lookups, pivot tables, formulas).
• Day-to-day hands-on experience with Iplicit or a similar cloud-based accounting system.
• Experience in processing transactions in multiple currencies and reconciling foreign exchange differences.
• High level of accuracy and attention to detail, with a strong sense of ownership over your work.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing deadlines across a portfolio of projects.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues and external partners.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach.

• Experience working across multiple geographies.
• Working proficiency in a second language relevant to EJF’s geographies.
