About Quaker Social Action (QSA)
Quaker Social Action’s mission is twofold. We enable people on low incomes to seek solutions to the issues affecting their lives. We listen and respond to the needs of communities and run practical, sustainable and collaborative projects.
Secondly, we share our learning where we see the potential to bring benefit to communities outside of our own – by running professional training, and by speaking truth to power to seek structural change.
Our services include crisis support for those unable to afford funerals; practical support for people experiencing homelessness, such as a mobile library and a community kitchen space; and free mindfulness and wellbeing programmes.
QSA has a rich 150-year history with roots in the Quaker movement. Our work is still guided by Quaker values like Truth and Justice, and we are proud of our place within the Quaker community. At the same time, there is nothing religious about our work: our services, jobs and volunteering roles are open to all.
“The advice and support was beyond beneficial. As a family we were just above the threshold for getting any financial support and at a very difficult time already, money worries was the last thing we needed.”

Stroke Association is the UK's largest charity dedicated to supporting patients and their families with the emotional, practical and financial impact a stroke can have.
A stroke can happen to anyone, of any age, at any time! One in four strokes happen in people of working age.
“I’m Leighton and when I was 39 years young I had a stroke. There’s a sentence I never, ever thought I would write. But that’s the thing with a stroke, it didn’t care how fit and healthy I was.

Charity experience - Qualified Financial Professional - Good communicator - Collaborative - UK based
Background
NAPAC (the National Association for People Abused in Childhood) is entering an important period of growth. Our income sources are diversifying, our public profile is rising and our operations are becoming more complex. With new earned income streams, additional grant funding, VAT considerations and more detailed Board reporting, we are now strengthening our finance function to ensure accuracy, clarity and confidence in all financial matters.
We are therefore seeking a freelance finance professional to provide part-time, ongoing operational finance support. The role involves managing our monthly financial bookkeeping and reporting functions, working closely with our Chief Operating Officer and wider team. Our current provider will continue to handle payroll and year-end audit preparation, but we are moving our day-to-day finance support to this new model.
We are looking for a proactive, highly competent individual who can understand the way NAPAC works and provide accurate, timely and thoughtful financial support. This is a key role that underpins our success and gives confidence to the team, trustees, funders and external stakeholders.
Scope of Work
The successful individual will be responsible for:
- Maintaining accurate financial records in Xero, including all necessary transactional data entry (such as inputting and coding income, expenses, invoices and credit notes), reconciling bank and PayPal accounts and preparing monthly management accounts (P&L, balance sheet and cashflow reports).
- Supporting monthly reporting cycles for internal governance (Income Generation Subcommittee and full Board).
- Liaising with our team to ensure invoices are raised, chased and coded accurately.
- Managing grant income allocations and restricted funds tracking in line with funder requirements.
- Supporting our team with financial queries, budget phasing and grant planning.
- Advising on Xero housekeeping (e.g. Chart of Accounts simplification, tracking codes).
- Advising on VAT issues, including preparation for registration if required (though this may be handled separately with legal input).
- Supporting periodic financial forecasting and budgeting alongside the CEO and Chief Operating Officer.
- Attending virtual meetings as required (Income Generation Subcommittee monthly; quarterly Board meetings and ad hoc meetings with staff).
- 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 comfortable working independently but collaboratively.
- Can offer a blend of rigour, responsiveness and a values-driven approach.
- 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).
Time Commitment and Working Style
The expected time commitment is approximately three-six days per month, depending on workload and reporting periods. We anticipate this may be higher in the first two-three months to support onboarding, systems review and transition from our existing provider. We are open to flexibility and working arrangements.
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.
Expression of Interest and Selection Process
To apply, please email an up-to-date CV and an Expression of Interest cover letter of no more than two pages (address in attached brief).
Expressions of Interest are being accepted until 10am on Monday 26 January 2026.
Your Expression of Interest should include:
- Your relevant experience, including specific examples of Chart of Accounts restructuring
- Your day rates
- Your reasons for wanting to work with NAPAC
- Your contact details
- Your availability for interview dates (to be confirmed with shortlisted candidates)

Director of Finance and IT
London (Camden) | Hybrid working
Salary £90,000
Full time (37.5 hours) or 4 days per week considered
Thomson Foundation is an independent, globally respected organisation with over 60 years’ experience supporting free, ethical and trusted journalism around the world. At a time when reliable information has never mattered more, Thomson’s work is both impactful and deeply values-driven.
They are now seeking a Director of Finance and IT to join the senior leadership team at an exciting point in the organisation’s evolution.
This is a rare opportunity for a senior finance leader who enjoys combining strategic leadership while also being able to provide hands on support. You will work closely with the CEO, Board and senior colleagues to shape future strategy, while also getting into the detail to understand how things work today and where they can be improved tomorrow.
You will thrive in this role if you enjoy making your mark: strengthening systems, improving automation, streamlining processes and building robust, proportionate controls that suit a small, international organisation. This is not a role where you sit at arm’s length from the detail – you will be curious, practical and comfortable rolling up your sleeves, whether that’s reviewing processes, posting journals, improving reporting or driving smarter use of technology.
Alongside financial leadership, you will oversee IT, risk, compliance and governance across the Thomson Group, working with outsourced providers and internal colleagues to ensure systems are secure, efficient and fit for purpose. You will play a key role in delivering the Finance and Technology Transformation Plan, helping the organisation operate more effectively and sustainably as it continues to grow and adapt.
Thomson has a small, welcoming team and a collaborative, non-hierarchical culture. You will be joining an organisation where people are trusted, ideas are welcomed and impact really matters. The role is based in Camden, with hybrid working two days per week in the office.
This role will suit someone who is:
• equally comfortable thinking strategically and working hands on
• motivated by improving systems, automation and ways of working
• curious, detail-oriented and happy to implement change
• values-led and excited by working in a mission-driven, international charity
If you are looking for a senior leadership role where you can genuinely influence, improve and help shape the future of a highly respected organisation, this is an outstanding opportunity.
How to Apply
For more information, please contact Rosemary Pini at Allen Lane who is supporting on this role and happy to answer any questions.
Please apply by sending CV and supporting statement before 1st February
