Full job descriptionFinancial Controller
£55,000 - £58,000 | North Notts | Hybrid working

Are you a hands-on finance leader who enjoys getting under the skin of a business, supporting a team and improving the way finance operates?

We are recruiting a Financial Controller for a large, established charity based near Mansfield. This is a key role within a complex organisation, leading the day-to-day finance function while supporting senior leadership with accurate reporting, forecasting, cash flow and financial control.

You will be joining an organisation with multiple service areas, a meaningful purpose and a finance function that needs someone who can bring structure, support and technical confidence.

The Role

You will take ownership of the finance operation, including:
*Leading and developing a small finance and payroll team
*Reviewing monthly management accounts
*Working closely with budget holders on reporting, budgets and forecasts
*Producing cash flow forecasts and supporting wider financial planning
*Overseeing capital reporting, fixed assets and ROI analysis
*Supporting board, senior management and committee reporting
*Working with auditors and professional advisors
*Improving processes, controls, reporting and use of systems
The Person

We are looking for someone who has:
*Strong management accounts experience
*Previous experience managing or developing a finance team
*Good technical understanding of month-end, accruals, prepayments, reconciliations and fixed assets
*Strong Excel skills
*Budgeting, forecasting and cash flow experience
*Confidence working with senior stakeholders and non-finance managers
*ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent qualification, although strong finalists will be considered
Experience in charity, education, not-for-profit, public sector or multi-academy trusts would be useful, but it is not essential. More important is the ability to lead a team, understand the detail and improve how the finance function supports the organisation.

What’s On Offer
*£55,000 - £58,000 salary
*Hybrid working
*Flexible start and finish times
*Pension
*25 days’ holiday, rising with service
*Broad, senior finance role with real influence
*Opportunity to work for an organisation with a clear social purpose
This is an excellent opportunity for a Financial Controller who wants a varied, hands-on leadership role in a values-led organisation.
