Cathedral Appointments is recruiting on behalf of a well-established Not for Profit organisation based in Somerset. The client is seeking an experienced Finance Manager to lead their Finance team and play a key role in shaping the organisation's financial strategy.
The Role
Working closely with the Head of Finance, you will help deliver a professional finance service to the Board, Senior Leadership Team, and budget holders, providing financial advice, guidance, and support across the organisation. The role combines hands-on financial management, including budgeting, forecasting, and statutory reporting, with line management of a small finance team. It suits an experienced finance professional who is confident operating both technically and strategically, and who wants their work to support a genuinely purpose-driven organisation.
