The Salisbury Diocesan Board of Finance (DBF) is looking for a talented Process Improvement / Project Accountant to join our Parish Support & Finance Team on a fixed-term contract. This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference by helping shape and strengthen our financial systems - while supporting the work of the Church of England across the region.

What You'll Do

Review & Improve Processes: Map and analyse existing finance and procurement systems to identify bottlenecks and reduce risk.
Drive Change: Design and implement more effective processes and internal controls that boost efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
Collaborate Across Teams: Work with Finance, Technology, and other colleagues to ensure new systems are understood and adopted confidently.
Provide Critical Support: Offer hands-on accounting support to help the team meet deadlines and compliance requirements - from budgeting to gift aid and beyond.
Monitor Progress: Use data to measure impact and share insights with the leadership team.

What We're Looking For

A Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with solid post-qualification experience in both financial and management accounting.
Problem Solver: You enjoy untangling complexity, improving systems, and translating insights into action.
Tech-Savvy: Proficient in Excel and other tools (Power BI a plus) - and ideally familiar with Microsoft Dynamics.
Communicative & Collaborative: Able to explain complex ideas clearly and work across teams with empathy and clarity.
Mission-Aligned: While you don't need to be a practising Christian, you should be sympathetic to the aims and ethos of the Church of England.
