We're supporting a fast-growing international NGO working to save the lives of children by avoiding a preventable cause of childhood death. Following a period of significant growth and multi-year philanthropic funding, the organisation is now strengthening its internal finance capability to support delivery across 40+ countries, with further expansion planned.
This is an opportunity for an experienced Finance Controller to work either remotely or from their London offices and play a central role in building structure, rigour, and confidence in financial information during a critical phase of growth.
Key responsibilities:
- Own the quality and integrity of financial records, including balance sheet and donor / restricted fund accounting
- Lead and embed a predictable, high-quality month-end close process
- Ensure financial information is audit-ready and support external audits and statutory reporting
- Strengthen financial controls, identifying and addressing gaps in a pragmatic, proportionate way
- Support oversight of payments and banking activity, ensuring appropriate authorisation and audit trails
- Act as a key owner of finance systems, data standards, and core finance processes
- Support improvements to systems, workflows, and documentation as the organisation scales
- Work closely with the Head of Finance and Finance Business Partner to ensure financial data supports forecasting, donor reporting, and decision-making
