Finance Manager

Edinburgh, United Kingdom The Scottish Government Full time

Overview

Are you looking for an opportunity to develop your career within a corporate setting at the heart of the Scottish Government (SG)? Are you adaptable and responsive to change?

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Financial Management and Reporting team as a Finance Manager and play a key role in delivering the SG’s flagship activities, directly supporting key financial reporting as well as the new corporate shared services system.

The SG’s Finance function supports policy directorates together with a wide range of public bodies and their stakeholders to ensure the delivery of value for money outcomes.

The team sits within the Financial Management Directorate, which provides robust advice to Ministers and senior officers across the public sector to support effective decision making with regards the allocation and management of resources.

We deliver a range of financial management, compliance, and strategic roles to ensure that the SG’s reputation for competent government, prudent fiscal management and value for money is maintained and enhanced, helping the organisation to manage and govern over £50 billion of public spending, and deliver a wide range of compliance and reporting requirements.

You will be leading the continuous improvement of the team as it evolves to maximise the benefits of the new shared services system, which is planned to go live later in 2024. 

The nature of the work is such that a key requirement of the role is a flexible and adaptable approach to managing tasks and programmes of work, with an ability to adapt quickly to change, in partnership with colleagues across the Team, Division, Directorate and wider Scottish Government community.

You will be responsible for the budget monitoring of certain areas within the Scottish Government and produce monthly finance reports which enable senior officials to make informed decisions based on timely and high-quality financial information. Communication and effective stakeholder relationships are an essential aspect of the role, as Finance Teams are the link between business areas and the wider Corporate Reporting Division.

You will lead a Finance Team, supported by B2 Assistant Finance Managers, and will report to a C1 Senior Finance Manager.

You’ll be joining an innovative, forward-looking division with a vision to apply global best practice, and a commitment to support all staff grow their professional knowledge, skills, and experience.

Responsibilities

• Ensuring the timely and accurate completion of budget monitoring and reporting exercises and provide management with robust information and explanations to assist them in making informed decisions.

• Provision of high quality monthly financial reports to senior officials, influencing and challenging budget-holders, assisting them to make informed decisions.

• Supporting the provision of regular, high quality financial information and analysis, developing and using knowledge and expertise of local business and policy issues to challenge business returns and provide expert advice to resolve the root cause of issues.

• Leading the Finance Team through change, overseeing its work to ensure successful delivery of monthly and ad-hoc financial exercises, while also providing support and guidance and driving forward efficiencies from the new system. 

• Providing financial advice and assistance to stakeholders and build and maintain effective working relationships with business areas.

• Ensuring the completion and quality assurance of areas’ input for the annual accounts in accordance with the corporate timetable. Ensuring that working papers provide a full audit trail and are retained and easily accessible during the audit process.

• Engaging with colleagues across the Financial Management Directorate, business areas, and bodies to work effectively together to deliver corporate financial exercises.
