All Survivors Project

All Survivors Project’s (ASP) mission is to support global efforts to eradicate conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) and strengthen national and international responses to it through research and action on CRSV against men and boys. Working with victims/survivors and in partnership with national and international actors on the ground, ASP undertakes long-term, in-depth work on selected conflict-affected countries, currently Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Colombia and Ukraine.  ASP has a team of full-time and part-time staff members in the UK, Europe and Colombia.


About the role

All Survivors Project are seeking a dynamic and experienced Senior Finance and Accounting Lead with a passion for human rights to provide comprehensive financial and accounting management to our organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to support a growing organisation to evolve, and the role will suit an ambitious and meticulous finance professional with a proactive and practical approach to their work.

Applicants must have the legal right to work in the United Kingdom. Visa sponsorship is not available, and no payment is available for relocation. The role requires a hybrid of home and office-based working. ASP accommodates flexibility in working hours. Given the needs of a small organisation, you may be requested to work beyond these hours on occasion.

  • Audit: Lead internal and external audits, ensuring compliance with donor-specific financial guidelines.

2. Financial planning and budgeting responsibilities: 

  • Budgeting: Develop and manage annual and project-specific budgets.
  • Quality control: Ensure completion and quality of deliverables prior to payment of invoices; ensure all procurement is executed according to policies and regulations, including the review of consultant agreements, expense reports and travel advances for accuracy and completeness of supporting documentation.
  • Budget for project proposals development: Act as the finance lead in developing funding budgets to support project proposal creation.
  • Donor reporting: Build and manage a rolling donor reporting schedule, ensuring timely notifications to the Executive Director and relevant staff when reports are due; prepare and compile comprehensive donor financial reports, coordinating with the Executive Director for verification, approval, and submission.
