Accounting records are maintained on Quickbooks Online (QBO) with the majority of the day to day bookkeeping carried out by YMI's Administrator. Payments are also made by the staff team.

  • Ensure adequate budget vs actual reports are available on QBO for staff at all times
  • Keep a close eye on spending against restricted funds, and raise any potential issues you identify with the CEO and Treasurer
  • Ensure that QBO is well maintained, liaising with the Treasurer over any structural changes proposed
  • Adhere to financial controls and ensure they remain fit for purpose, making recommendations to the CEO and Treasurer as appropriate.

As required

  • Prepare financial reports for submission to funders, in liaison with the staff team
  • Prepare any additional forecasts, workings and reports required by the staff team or Treasurer

Monthly

  • Prepare monthly Management Accounts against budget for the staff, Trustees and other stakeholders. Deadlines will be dictated by board meeting dates and funder reporting.
  • This includes working with the staff team on latest full year forecasts against the original budget.

Annually

  • Prepare the annual accounts for independent examination; provide information for and liaise with the examiner, keeping the Treasurer and CEO updated on progress

  • Experience using accounting software, preferably Quickbooks
