Interim Head of Finance (Charity) - St Austell - £50,000

Trial Balance Consulting are delighted to have been re-engaged by a past client, a highly successful and well-respected charity based in St Austell.

The organisation urgently seeks to recruit an experienced Head of Finance to join them for a 6-month FTC. The role is full-time and will be principally based at the charity's HQ in St. Austell.

Joining a passionate and dedicated senior management team from day one, this will be a pivotal role within the charity.

The successful candidate will take a lead role in managing the organisation's financial health, viability and continued strategy.

Working closely with the charity's director and its board of trustees, the Head of Finance will develop and maintain a highly efficient and effective function that supports the organisation's future growth.


Key aspects of the role to include:

  • Produce reliable financial and management information with commentary
  • Support, develop and mentor a team of four colleagues
  • Maintenance of accounting system (Access)
  • Identify and pursue funding opportunities and, with the support of the SMT, funding and grant bids
  • Lead and influence colleagues and stakeholders to improve knowledge and understanding of the charity's financial position
  • Plan and prepare annual budget, business plans and cash flow forecasts
  • Act as a key point of financial contact for the charity's external stakeholders, funders and suppliers
  • Manage the charity's fixed asset register
  • Approve VAT reports and returns
  • Oversee monthly payroll

Who are we looking for? Needless to say, a candidate with a background in not-for-profit or charity accounting would be high on our client's wish list.

But it's a desirable not an essential, and this employer recognises the value in having a commercially astute, confident and technically experienced HoF at the helm whatever their background.


The successful candidate will hold a professional qualification (ACA/ACCA/CIMA/CIPFA).

The incoming Head of Finance will require sound management/supervisory experience, excellent IT aptitude and the ability to work and communicate effectively with colleagues across all areas of the organisation.

The role works as part of a motivated management team whose enthusiasm for the future of the charity is infectious.

For further details and to apply, please contact Steve Roach quoting reference SR9864.
