A medium sized health education charity is seeking a Finance Officer on a full-time, permanent basis.
The organisation is an established charity that provides information and guidance on various aspects of veganism. Services range from general advice on vegan lifestyle – diet, travel, shopping etc, campaigning activities, additional services to charity members, and the certification and labelling of products based on their internationally recognised Vegan Trademark.
The organisation has around 65 staff with a turnover of around £4 million annually. Their central offices are in Birmingham, however this role can be taken on almost exclusively remotely – it is anticipated that there will be approximately 6 journeys per year required either to the Birmingham office or another mutually agreeable location – for staff events and meetings.
The role sits within a small finance team of 3, and will be highly varied covering most aspects of transactional finance. The starting salary is between £29,413 - £31,508, however they have regular salary reviews and growth in the role is possible. They also have an excellent benefits package including a pension scheme, employee assistance programme, 28 days leave + bank holidays, plus additional leave available as part of a sustainable transportation climate perks policy.
The ideal candidate will be AAT part-qualified with experience in a similar Finance Officer level role. Exposure to double-entry bookkeeping and an understanding of charity finance would be an advantage. Experience with Sage accounting is also useful. The organisation is a flexible employer and although the role is ultimately permanent they welcome applicants wishing to be considered on a part-time basis as part of a job share, and will also consider candidates on a shorter term fixed term contract basis if this is preferable to a permanent contract initially.
It is expected that staff adhere to a vegan lifestyle as much as possible, however being vegan is not a pre-requisite.
Typical duties will include:
-Work closely with the sales team and raise invoices in accordance with the sales process.
-Support the credit control function and chase outstanding payments for renewals and new business.
-Provide up-to-date debtor ledger reports as required.
-Process invoices and expenses for payment ensuring adherence to internal purchase policies and procedures.

-Work closely with the Finance Manager and support the Auditor during the annual financial audit.
-Assist with the development of financial policies, streamline processes, production of working instructions and training materials.
-Support the development of financial business critical systems and processes to increase efficiency and improve user journeys.
-Investigate, report and where necessary make improvements to minimise non-compliance to ensure robust policies and procedures.
-Support the Finance Manager and make suggestions for continuous improvement of systems and processes to support business requirements.
-Support the management of the finance mailboxes and respond to emails in a timely manner.
-Act as the first point of contact and provide timely responses to internal and external stakeholders, customers and suppliers by email and over the telephone.
Candidate requirements:
-AAT part or fully-qualified
