Finance Manager - Part Time - Plymouth - Circa £45k (FTE) - Permanent There's a lot to consider when weighing up a new career opportunity. The responsibilities need to be interesting, the remuneration needs to be fair, and the future prospects need to be positive. But perhaps one of the most important and often overlooked considerations is whether you genuinely believe in what your employer is trying to achieve. If working for an organisation that makes a tangible difference to the local community is just as important to you as the job itself, this could be a role well worth exploring. Trial Balance Consulting have formed an exclusive partnership with one of Plymouth's most respected and rapidly growing not for profit organisations. Operating with a highly commercial mindset whilst reinvesting its success back into the community, our client has built an exceptional reputation and continues to expand its impact across the city. They currently seek to recruit a Finance Manager to join their passionate and dedicated senior leadership team. This is a permanent position offered on a part time basis, working approximately 30 hours per week with flexibility around how those hours are structured. The role will be based in Plymouth city centre with free onsite parking. Working closely alongside an experienced CEO and senior management team, and supported by a long-standing Accounts Assistant, the successful candidate will enjoy a broad and varied role with significant autonomy and the opportunity to influence financial decision making across the organisation. Key responsibilities to include: - Leading the day to day financial management of the organisation and its associated charitable activities - Preparing monthly management accounts and accompanying commentary for senior stakeholders - Supporting the financial appraisal of new projects, initiatives and funding opportunities - Cashflow forecasting, monitoring and reporting - Budget preparation, review and variance analysis - Preparation of year end accounts and supporting external audit processes - Reconciliation of balance sheet control accounts - Oversight of sales invoicing, supplier payments and aged debtor management - Supervision, support and mentoring of an Accounts Assistant - Producing financial reports and information for trustees and senior management - Identifying opportunities to improve financial controls, reporting and efficiency Who are we looking for? Our client is open minded on background and qualifications. Experience within a charity or not for profit environment would certainly be advantageous, but it is by no means essential. Likewise, whilst professional qualifications such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CIPFA would be welcomed, they are not a prerequisite. More important is the ability to demonstrate strong financial management skills, sound commercial awareness, and the confidence to work closely with senior stakeholders. This role could suit an experienced Finance Manager seeking a flexible part time opportunity, but equally it could represent an excellent step up for a capable Management Accountant, Accounts Manager, Assistant Accountant or Senior Finance Assistant who is ready to take on broader responsibility and ownership of a finance function. Applicants should possess strong systems skills, ideally including experience of Xero, alongside excellent communication skills and the ability to build effective working relationships across the organisation.
