Charity Finance Manager

Charity Finance Manager - Bideford - £35,000 FTE + hybrid working

This is a brand-new opportunity to shape the finance function of a well-established, purpose-driven charity doing vital work in its community. The role is initially being offered on a part-time basis (2 or 3 days per week).

As Charity Finance Manager, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day finances, bringing clarity, structure and insight to support the charity’s leadership and trustees. It’s a role for someone who enjoys being hands-on but also wants their work to genuinely make a difference.

Working closely with the Director (and Treasurer), you’ll look after everything from transactional finance through to management accounts, budgeting and year-end preparation. You’ll play a key role in ensuring the charity remains compliant, financially sustainable and well-placed for the future.

Key responsibilities:

- Running the day-to-day finance function, including income, expenditure, payroll and bank reconciliations

- Producing monthly management accounts and supporting budgeting and forecasting

- Managing restricted and unrestricted funds, ensuring compliance with donor and grant conditions

- Supporting statutory reporting, Gift Aid and year-end accounts

- Acting as the go-to person for finance queries across the organisation

- Helping to develop and improve financial processes as the role becomes established

This role would suit a hands-on finance professional with experience in a charity, not-for-profit or values-led environment. Who is comfortable producing management accounts, supporting budgets and year-end accounts and navigating the complexities of restricted and unrestricted funds. You’ll bring a practical, approachable style, enjoy getting involved across the organisation and take pride in keeping things accurate and compliant. A working knowledge of Xero would be beneficial, but it’s not essential.

Hybrid working is available by agreement, and you’ll be joining a collaborative team where your finance skills directly support meaningful work in the community. For more information or to apply please contact Steve Roach and quote ref SR10874.
