Job description

Finance Manager / Financial Accountant (Charity) – GWT
Full-time or Part-time (28 hours)

Join Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust (GWT) and use your finance skills to support nature’s recovery across Gloucestershire. We’re looking for an experienced Finance Manager / Financial Accountant to lead the day-to-day running of our finance function. This is a hands-on role overseeing transactional finance and payroll, strengthening financial controls, and improving board reporting — with line management responsibility for two Finance Officers.

If you enjoy bringing order, clarity and momentum to finance operations — and want your work to directly support conservation impact — we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

  • Overseeing day-to-day finance operations (AP/AR, credit control, banking, journals, payment runs, month-end routines)

  • Owning and maintaining cashflow forecasts (weekly/monthly), highlighting risks and actions early

  • Overseeing payroll end-to-end, including reconciliations, pensions, HMRC compliance and year-end tasks

  • Leading monthly close and key balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring an audit-ready trail

  • Maintaining and improving board reporting packs with strong version control and reconciliation to source data

  • Supporting good restricted/unrestricted fund controls and applying charity finance compliance in routine reporting

  • Working confidently with finance systems and improving processes, templates and documentation (including Xledger and Access CRM)

  • Line-managing and coaching two Finance Officers, ensuring deadlines and quality standards are consistently met

What we’re looking for

Essential:

  • Significant hands-on finance experience with charity experience essential

  • Strong experience in cashflow forecasting

  • Experience building/improving board reporting packs and senior-level reporting

  • Payroll oversight experience (processing, pensions, HMRC, reconciliations)

  • Excellent attention to detail, deadline management, and people skills

  • Confidence picking up and working with less familiar systems (e.g., Xledger, Access CRM)

  • Strong Excel skills

  • Qualified-by-experience welcome (degree not required)

Desirable:

  • Payroll qualification (e.g., CIPP Foundation/Practitioner or equivalent)

  • VAT experience, ideally including Partial Exemption

  • Experience in a multi-entity environment (e.g., charity + trading subsidiary)

  • AAT/ACCA/CIMA/CIPFA part-qualified or qualified

Benefits

  • Permanent role

  • Full-time or part-time (28 hours) considered

  • 25 days annual leave (pro rata for part-time)

  • We are closed between Christmas and New Year, giving additional time off during this period

If you’re motivated by strong processes, great teamwork, and purpose-led work, we’d love to hear from you.
