Manchester, New Hampshire, United Kingdom UKROEd Full time

Financial Controller – Role Overview

UKROEd and The Road Safety Trust are seeking an experienced and highly capable Financial Controller to provide strong financial leadership across both organisations. Acting as second-in-command to the Chief Finance Officer, the Financial Controller will oversee the collection, analysis and consolidation of financial data, ensuring accuracy, efficiency and robust governance throughout all financial processes. This role is pivotal in maintaining high standards of statutory compliance, audit readiness and financial integrity across two mission-driven organisations dedicated to improving road safety.

Working closely with senior leaders, trustees and external partners, the postholder will support strategic financial planning through the delivery of high-quality reporting, insightful analysis and reliable management information. Core responsibilities include managing financial controls, payroll, procurement, budgeting processes, risk management, statutory and tax returns, management accounts, reconciliations and the end-to-end purchase-to-pay cycle. The role also provides leadership to the Finance Manager, ensuring clarity of priorities, strong performance and continuous improvement in financial operations.

The role requires NPPV Level 3 vetting.

Person Specification

The successful candidate will bring a strong technical foundation, with essential job-related knowledge including a practical understanding of management accounting principles, solid grasp of accountancy best practice, strong analytical capability and in-depth knowledge of budgeting, forecasting, tax codes and financial reporting. Proficiency with accounting systems and advanced spreadsheet competence are also required.

Candidates must have at least five years' experience managing financial operations, previous experience as a Financial Controller and demonstrable competence across a wide range of operational accounting duties. Experience engaging with senior stakeholders—directors, trustees and board members—is essential, as is experience in producing high-quality reports. A commitment to public service and an understanding of financial markets are also required.

The ideal candidate will offer strong interpersonal skills, high levels of organisation, attention to detail, reliability and a hands-on approach. Integrity, self-motivation and the ability to work flexibly are key. Candidates must be willing to undergo enhanced security vetting and provide impeccable references. Experience within the charity or not-for-profit sector, familiarity with Xero and an understanding of police, local authority or charity accounting policies are desirable but not essential.

A recognised professional qualification—ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent—is required, alongside a relevant degree and significant experience in a business or finance environment.
