Help a Christian charity prepare for its next stage of growth, strengthening financial control, developing people and transforming how finance supports the organisation.

A growing Christian charity is looking for a qualified finance leader to help shape its finance function as it works towards ambitious plans for the next six years. You’ll combine strong financial control with forward-thinking financial planning, helping ensure the organisation has the systems, processes and insight it needs to grow sustainably.

This is a chance to make a real mark. You’ll have the freedom to challenge existing ways of working, improve processes and develop a capable team, while building stronger relationships with colleagues across the organisation. Charity-sector experience isn’t essential, but a proactive mindset and a genuine commitment to the Christian faith are.

What you’ll gain

• Real scope to make your mark – shape processes, systems and reporting ahead of significant growth
• A broad leadership role – bring together financial control, FP&A and business partnering
• A team to develop – build capability, confidence and a culture of continuous improvement
• Flexible working – home-based, with monthly team days and travel expenses covered
• A competitive benefits package – generous annual leave, employer pension contributions, life assurance and fully funded professional development

What you’ll do

• Oversee financial control, statutory accounts, audit and regulatory reporting
• Lead budgeting and long-term forecasting, working closely with department heads
• Turn financial data into clear insights for senior leaders and the Board
• Improve business partnering and identify opportunities to streamline processes through better systems, automation and AI
• Lead and develop the finance team, while acting as deputy to the Director of Finance and Corporate Services

What you’ll bring

• CCAB or CIMA qualification, with strong financial control and statutory accounts experience
• Experience leading and developing a finance team
• Strong budgeting, forecasting and management reporting skills
• A track record of improving processes and challenging the status quo
• The ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders
