Finance Officer
A well-established, mission-led organisation in the heart of Leicester is looking for a numerate, detail-driven Finance Officer to join its close-knit finance team. This is a rare opportunity to bring your bookkeeping and reconciliation expertise into a role where the numbers genuinely support a wider purpose - funding vital community, pastoral and charitable work across the region.
Why this role?
This isn't a faceless finance function. Every ledger entry, reconciliation and payment run directly supports the people and communities this organisation exists to serve - from clergy and parishes to retired staff and local charitable trusts. If you want your finance skills to have visible, tangible impact beyond the spreadsheet, this is that role.
What you'll be doing
- Managing purchase and sales ledgers, including invoice processing, recharges and query resolution
- Overseeing bank reconciliations and month-end reporting
- Administering trust funds and charitable accounts, including liaison with external financial institutions
- Supporting payroll-related processes and HMRC gift aid claims
- Acting as a key point of contact for a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
What you'll bring
- Solid bookkeeping and reconciliation experience gained within a broader finance function
- Strong double-entry accounting knowledge
- Confident Excel and wider MS Office skills
- A proactive, can-do attitude and the organisational ability to juggle varied responsibilities
- Comfort working within a values-driven, mission-focused environment
What's on offer
The chance to join an organisation where purpose sits at the centre of everything it does - offering stability, variety, and the satisfaction of knowing your work matters well beyond the balance sheet.
