Senior Finance Manager
Hybrid (2 days/week in London HQ) | 4 or 5 days/week | £42–50k FTE 6-month FTC
Immediate start | Charity Sector | Interviews ongoing

I am excited to be working with a bold, forward-thinking health charity to find a Senior Finance Manager to lead their small but growing finance function.

This is a fantastic opportunity to shape and embed finance across the organisation — this 6-month FTC will see you combining strategy, hands-on delivery, and relationship-building. You’ll be central to budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting and advising senior leaders, while also overseeing day-to-day operations including payroll, VAT, and Gift Aid.

What you'll be doing:

• Lead annual budgeting and quarterly forecasting
• Deliver monthly reporting and insightful analysis to the senior team
• Manage VAT returns, payroll processes, and financial systems
• Support audits and strengthen internal controls
• Line manage a junior finance team member
• Liaise with external partners (payroll, accountants)
• Help embed finance into everyday operations through strong stakeholder engagement

You’ll bring:

• Part-qualified accountant or equivalent experience
• Strong track record in financial reporting, budgeting, and analysis
• Hands-on, adaptable approach and strong interpersonal skills
• Confidence working in small teams and advising non-finance stakeholders
• Charity finance knowledge and familiarity with SORP (desirable but not essential)
• Proficiency in Excel and finance systems

If you have the above skills and experience and are immediately available, please apply online today, I would love to have a conversation with you!

You will lead all aspects of charity financial and resource management for two separate but closely connected charities, the Army Cadet Charitable Trust UK (ACCT UK) and the Combined Cadet Force Association (CCFA), which are supported by a single head office team. We are looking for someone to bring enthusiasm, personal credibility, discretion and sensitivity. You will be ultimately responsible for Finance and Resource Management within the charities.
You will work directly with the trustees of both charities and the wider Senior Leadership Team (SLT) which comprises of the Director of Development, the Deputy Chief Executive (DCE) (Director of HR and Programmes), and the Chief Executive. You will have primary responsibility for ensuring that the charities meet their statutory obligations, that financial functions are well ordered and support the work of the charities.
Managing and leading a small and diverse team through high pressure periods including month end, year-end and annual budgeting, you require high emotional intelligence and excellent communication skills. You will work closely with staff at all levels, often having to mentor the charities’ managers to help them plan and manage their own budgets.
Your financial responsibilities are substantial as you will have overall control and responsibility for all financial matters. You will be thinking both strategically and seeing the big picture, whilst also analysing figures in detail to ensure that the financial management of both charities are sound. In periods of change and growth, it is critical that you are effective in coordinating corporate finance (funding sources, non-profit capital structuring and investment decisions) and managing charity policies regarding capital requirements to deliver against each charity’s objects and plans, taxation, equity and investments as appropriate.

At Trees for Cities, we believe access to trees and nature is essential for the health and well-being of communities. We focus our work where it’s needed most — in areas facing environmental, social, and economic disadvantage — putting us at the forefront of climate and community justice across the UK.

Trees for Cities is the only national charity dedicated to improve lives by planting, protecting and promoting urban trees. We do this by working closely with communities, landowners, partners and funders to deliver transformational change in towns and cities across the UK. We plant trees in schools, streets, estates, parks and open spaces to create nature-rich urban woodland, hedgerows, orchards, avenues and playgrounds.

As we approach the final year of our strategic plan, The Turn of Trees (2022–2025), we’ve seen inspiring growth and diversification in funding from major supporters like the National Lottery Community Fund and The People’s Postcode Lottery. Now, as we prepare to launch our 2025–2030 strategy, our goal is clear: build a national movement for tree equity that places communities, cities, and biodiversity at the heart of everything we do.
