As Finance Executive, you’ll play a key role in keeping our day-to-day finance operations running smoothly; from processing transactions and performing reconciliations, to ensuring our partners are billed correctly and pay on time.

- Check through our quarterly VAT return.
- Manage the banking for our much smaller Hong Kong and US companies.
- Support the Head of Finance (your line manager) to:
- Create the annual budget.
- Support on ad-hoc projects and data analysis requests.
Who we’re looking for
You’ve got some experience in a finance or operations role, or you can demonstrate that you’ve built the relevant skills in another setting and are ready to learn more.
- You’re organised and methodical, with strong attention to detail that helps keep things running smoothly and accurately.
- You enjoy solving problems and thinking critically about how things can be improved, streamlined or automated.
- You’re quick to learn new systems and tools, you might not have used platforms like Xero or Salesforce before, but you’re keen to get stuck in.
- You take ownership of your work, following through on tasks and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
- You’re proactive and hands-on, excited to go beyond your core responsibilities to improve how we work and help make it a success.
- Being a proficient user of Microsoft Excel (formulas, pivot table, x-lookup) is a bonus.
- Having an educational background in Finance, Accounting or a Business related discipline is desirable, but not essential.
Working together
We’re a small but mighty team of 3 within Finance (this role included). You’ll be line managed by the Head of Finance and will be working very closely with our Finance Lead too. You’ll also have regular contact with most people across the Unifrog, especially our partner-facing teams and the People team. You’ll also be liaising with our external accountants who take lead with the financial accounting and payroll side of things.
Key benefits

- Influence the company’s direction: we love to promote great ideas, wherever they come from.

About us
We’re Morden College: an almshouse charity providing older people with housing in south-east London. At the heart of everything we do is our goal to improve the lives of our residents so that they can live well for as long as possible. Our community of 250 older people live in Morden College’s almshouse accommodation at Blackheath and Beckenham, and in our care home. We are committed to enabling our residents to live independent, fulfilling, and healthy lives while receiving the right level of support when needed. Residents enjoy a range of events and activities to take part in, and each site offers facilities for socialising including putting and croquet lawns, bars, and Café 19 in the John Morden Centre at Blackheath.
As part of the Morden College team, you will play a key role in challenging ageism, promoting healthy ageing, and fostering social connection.
