About The Employer
Our client is committed to a singular vision: a fulfilled life for everyone affected by spinal cord injury.
Everyone has a right to live a fulfilled life and that means the life they choose, a life that has the same opportunities as everyone else. This charity is the expert guiding voice for life after spinal cord injury.
About The Role
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will take the lead on day-to-day finance administration and processing across the charity and its subsidiaries, from purchase invoices and bank reconciliations to payroll preparation and credit control. You will also help drive improvements to the finance systems and processes, and act as a first point of contact for finance queries from colleagues across the organisation.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced finance professional who enjoys ownership of a varied workload, likes solving problems, and wants their work to have a direct, visible impact on a charity's mission.
