Finance & Compliance Manager

Join Gingerbread Family Support as we grow our residential and outreach services and progress a new supported accommodation development. Lead month-end and SORP accounts, build a simple compliance calendar, and turn KPIs and risk into clear Board insight.

The ideal candidate will be proactive in their approach, qualified (or equivalent experience) in charity finance. Plain-English communicator who gets things done on time.

You will need:

·         Accountancy qualification (ACA/ACCA/CIMA/CIPFA) or equivalent senior experience in charity finance.

·         A strong track record delivering management and statutory accounts, budgets, forecasts and audits in a charity environment.

·         Confidence with payroll, Gift Aid and VAT; skilled in Excel and modern finance systems

·         Line-manage and support a capable Finance Assistant; work closely with our Head of Services, HR Officer and Maintenance Lead

·         Evidence you’ve designed and run a whole-organisation compliance/assurance approach (calendars, owners, evidence, escalation) with on-time returns.

·         Experience coordinating KPI dashboards and risk registers that drive action, not paperwork.

·         Clear, plain-English communication with non-finance colleagues and Trustees; a calm, organised style; and a focus on getting the basics right on time, every time.
