About the role
An established and historic UK charity is seeking an experienced Finance Project Accountant professional to support a period of organisational change and increased project activity. The organisation funds and delivers community-based initiatives supporting vulnerable people across the UK and is currently implementing a new strategy, alongside strengthening its financial processes, systems and reporting.
Following recent recruitment within the finance team, there is now a need for additional interim support to help progress a substantial pipeline of finance and systems-related projects. This is a hands-on role working alongside the existing finance lead, who will provide direction on priorities, but requires someone able to take ownership of delivery with minimal supervision.
The Role
You will take a lead role on a range of finance projects, helping to improve processes, introduce efficiencies and support the implementation of new ways of working. The work is varied and will include elements such as:
- Leading on discrete finance and systems projects from scoping through to delivery
- Supporting the development of new budgeting and reporting frameworks aligned to the organisation's strategy
- Improving processes across payment systems (including BACS), accounting and grants systems
- Working across multiple systems and datasets, using Excel to bridge and enhance reporting where needed
- Identifying and implementing practical improvements that are clear and workable for non-finance stakeholders
- Keeping the internal finance lead updated on progress while working independently on agreed deliverables
The assignment is likely to be project-based, with the opportunity to define and deliver specific pieces of work rather than acting as day-to-day cover within the team.
Person Specification
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
Contract Details
- Initial duration expected to be a minimum of 2-3 months
- Flexible time commitment (not necessarily full-time)
- Can be structured either as a PAYE contract or a self-employed consultancy assignment
- There is flexibility to scope the work into defined projects, allowing delivery in agreed "chunks" where appropriate
- Start date targeted for end of this week or early next week
This is a well-suited opportunity for a senior interim (Finance Manager, Financial Controller or equivalent level) who enjoys project-based work and can add value quickly in a changing environment.
