Finance Operations Manager
Gloucestershire
Are you an experienced finance professional who enjoys taking ownership, developing people and making finance functions work better?
This is an excellent opportunity to step into a senior finance role where you can make a real difference, combining strong technical accounting expertise with team leadership and a genuine focus on improving systems and processes.
Reporting to the Chief Finance Officer, you will lead the day-to-day delivery of a varied finance operations function, overseeing teams responsible for payroll, accounts payable and housing management finance.
The role will involve:
*
Leading, supporting and developing operational managers and their teams.
*
Overseeing the delivery of accurate and timely financial operations.
*
Contributing to management accounts, budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting.
*
Taking responsibility for housing management finance and budget reporting.
*
Ensuring robust financial controls, reconciliations and compliance.
*
Identifying opportunities to improve processes, systems and reporting, including automation.
*
Using your technical expertise and advanced Excel skills to improve efficiency and accuracy.
*
Working closely with senior leaders and non-finance colleagues, providing clear financial guidance and support.
What we're looking for:
You'll have substantial experience in a senior finance role, with a strong grounding in management accounts, budgeting, forecasting and financial controls.
You'll also bring:
*
A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), or equivalent senior-level experience and technical expertise.
*
Experience managing and developing a finance team.
*
Strong knowledge of payroll and accounts payable.
*
Advanced Excel skills and experience improving financial systems and processes.
*
Excellent communication skills and the confidence to influence and support colleagues across an organisation.
Experience within charity, housing, not-for-profit or support services would be advantageous, as would knowledge of Sage and Power Query.
The opportunity
This is a chance to take ownership of a broad finance function, influence how things are done and make a tangible contribution to an organisation supporting its local communities.
If you're a technically strong finance professional who enjoys leading people, solving problems and driving continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you
