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. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly respected organisation where your work will genuinely make a difference, whilst enjoying flexibility, autonomy and the support of a passionate and collaborative leadership team. Interested? Great. We'd be delighted to tell you more and provide a detailed role specification. For all enquiries and to apply, please contact Dan Saunders at Trial Balance Consulting quoting reference DS11086. Our client is keen to appoint without delay and all enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence. This opportunity may particularly appeal to Finance Managers, Management Accountants, Assistant Management Accountants, Accounts Managers, Assistant Accountants and Senior Finance Assistants looking to take the next step in their career.

Senior Tax Advisor £60,000 - £70,000 OTE £80,000 - £90,000 Fully Remote Our client is a high-growth tax and strategic advisory firm working with entrepreneurs, privately owned businesses, high-net-worth individuals and ambitious companies across the UK and overseas. The firm has grown significantly over recent years, combining high-level technical tax advice with a modern, commercially led approach to client service. As the business continues to scale, this is a key senior appointment for someone who wants more influence, more autonomy and a genuine role in shaping the future of an advisory-led tax function. This is not a traditional corporate-led accountancy firm. You will be joining an ambitious, founder-led advisory business with a high-calibre client base, a strong market profile and a clear plan for continued growth. The Role You will work closely with the senior leadership team, taking responsibility for complex tax advisory work while helping to lead and develop the wider tax department. The client base includes founder-led businesses, scaling companies, entrepreneurs and private clients with significant wealth. These are clients who need proactive, commercially intelligent advice rather than standard compliance-led support. Many are growing quickly, restructuring, expanding internationally, planning transactions or dealing with increasingly complex tax considerations. You will be involved in leading advisory projects, managing senior client relationships and providing clear, technically robust advice across both corporate and private client tax matters. Typical responsibilities will include: • Leading complex tax advisory engagements for entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses and high-net-worth individuals • Advising on corporate tax, private client tax and wider strategic tax planning • Supporting clients through growth, restructuring, succession, investment, transactions and international expansion • Acting as a trusted adviser to entrepreneurs and privately owned businesses • Reviewing technical work and helping to develop the wider tax team • Working with senior leadership to shape the advisory function as the firm continues to scale • Identifying opportunities to improve service delivery, technical standards and client outcomes Why This Opportunity Stands Out This is a chance to access the quality of work, resources and client complexity often associated with larger firms, but within a more agile, entrepreneurial and genuinely influential environment. You will not be one of many senior people in a large corporate structure. You will be a central figure in the firm's next phase of growth, with visibility across the business and the opportunity to help build something of long-term value. The firm has achieved significant year-on-year growth and continues to attract increasingly complex advisory work. There is a clear strategy for the future, continued investment in technology and infrastructure, and a strong appetite to keep raising standards across the business. For the right person, there is also the potential for extensive bonus incentives and longer-term equity participation. Your Profile This is a senior appointment, so it is essential that you are already proven within tax advisory. Ideally, you will have: • CTA, ACA, ACCA, CA qualification • Proven background in corporate and/or private client tax advisory • An ability to lead advisory conversations • The ability to advise entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses and high-net-worth individuals • Experience reviewing complex tax matters and applying legislation in commercial scenarios • International tax exposure would be advantageous • The confidence to work closely with senior stakeholders and help drive a department forward This role would suit an experienced Tax Senior or Tax Manager who wants to move into a more entrepreneurial, advisory-led environment with genuine influence and long-term upside.
