Finance Manager

Sewell Wallis are partnering with a fantastic Charity based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, to secure a Finance Manager to oversee and lead their Finance function.

You'll need to be a confident No.1 who creates and presents financial information to the SLT and board of Trustees, being able to defend and challenge. You'll be managing a small team of two and responsible for financial strategy, preparing budgets, forecasts and cash flow projections, managing investments, collaborating on funding, and leading on year end reporting and audit activities.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to give back to the local community and loves to get thoroughly involved with all aspects of a business! As Finance Manager, you'll need to be confident liaising with internal and external stakeholders, always with the best interests of the charity in mind.

The business pride themselves on having a warm and welcoming working environment, with many of the team being long-standing appointments; retention here is excellent and speaks volumes about how the business cares for its employees.

To be considered, you'll need to be qualified and have experience working as part of the SLT; ideally, you'll have some not-for-profit/public sector experience (although not essential) and be confident managing a team.
