- Review VAT processes and ensure ongoing compliance while identifying opportunities for improvement.
- Support year-end accounts, audit and statutory reporting.
- Provide financial insight and advice to the senior leadership team.
- Develop robust financial procedures that support future organisational growth.
About You

You will have
- Experience leading a finance function within an SME, membership organisation, charity or similar environment.
- Strong management accounting and financial reporting experience.

- A sound understanding of VAT and financial compliance.

You'll have the autonomy to improve the finance function, implement lasting change and work closely with senior leaders on projects that will influence the organisation well beyond the duration of the interim assignment.
