Internal audit manager jobs in london

Ivy Rock Partners are working with Parkinson's UK on their recruitment for a Head of Finance Operations as part of a planned restructure to facilitate the charity's continued growth and expansion.

Parkinson's UK are pushing for better, right here, right now. Every one of us has a crucial role to play as both drivers and enablers of change.

Parkinson’s UK is the UK’s leading charity for people with Parkinson’s.  We're a growing organisation with 605 employees, 4000 volunteers and a projected income of £50m+. Our proud history dates back nearly 60 years, but now we’re on a mission to be fit for the future, ensuring we have the infrastructure, culture, and operating model to drive even more impact for people with Parkinson’s, both now and in the future.

The Operations team plays a key role in driving that mission. Over the coming years we’ll be modernising our systems and processes to ensure they’re fit for now, as well as in the future. Much of this work is already underway, and we’re now ready to start our exciting new chapter. 

We’ve been working to get ourselves in the best shape to deliver that progress over the next few years, and we’re now looking for ambitious, driven, and purpose-led people to join our team of ‘relentless doers’. 

About the role

You will lead the annual audit process, acting as the primary contact for auditors and other external advisors. Additionally, you'll be responsible for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of financial and reporting processes throughout the charity by leveraging data and digital tools.

What you’ll do

• Lead on the Annual Accounts production and act as key contact to the Auditors and Governance Team.
• Continuously drive improvements and actively contribute to the Finance Transformation to finance processes and systems (will also lead on the implementation of a new finance system when budget is assigned)
• Act as lead, mentor and coach to the Financial Accounting Team and identify opportunities to improve processes.
• Manage financial risks and improve internal controls through compliance to relevant governance

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience of leading the Annual Accounts production and ability to distil and present it to a wide range of non-finance stakeholders
• A CCAB (or equivalent) qualified accountant with excellent technical financial accounting skills, including knowledge of relevant accounting principles, VAT and fund accounting
• Experience building rapport and constructive relationships with senior managers across the organisation to deliver continuous improvements
• A proven track record of coaching and mentoring individuals and delivering results through teams
