The group is growing following a recent merger. This role will lead the finance systems side of that growth, while also owning core month end and reporting. It's a rare mix of project and BAU work in a purpose-driven organisation.

Our client offers a collaborative and friendly working culture with the opportunity to work from home on a hybrid model.

- Prepare monthly, quarterly and annual management accounts, dashboards and reports.
- Analyse revenue, costs, margins and KPIs, with clear commentary on variances.
- Build financial models and scenario analysis to support key decisions.

- Lead the annual budget and forecasts with budget owners.

- Prepare and review journals, accruals, prepayments, allocations and reconciliations.
- Support month end and year end close, audit and statutory reporting.
- Maintain strong financial controls and audit-ready records.

- Partner with leaders and budget owners, turning numbers into practical insight.
- Support business cases, pricing, investment decisions and cost management.

- Improve reporting and finance processes through automation and better use of systems.




- Maintain the integrity of financial data and reporting structures.
- Support system migrations and implementations, including data cleansing, UAT and go-live.

Your profile:

- CA or CPA qualified, or close to completion.
* A track record in system implementation, data migration or entity integration.
* Solid month end and consolidation experience across multiple entities.
* Confident working with senior stakeholders, system users and external vendors.
* Not-for-profit experience is a bonus but not essential.
