What if your ability to transform complex financial data into clear, compelling reports could be the single source of truth that enables better, faster decisions across one of the UK's largest charities? As a Financial Accountant at Alzheimer's Society, you'll play a vital role in ensuring financial integrity and compliance as we work to end the devastation caused by dementia.

About the opportunity
As Financial Accountant within our Finance & Assurance directorate, you'll be part of a team that's transforming how we deliver financial partnership across the organisation.

- A commitment to continuous improvement, bringing best practice and fresh thinking to audit and compliance delivery.
