This Interim Finance Manager role was created to provide stronger financial oversight within a growing charity. The position combined responsibility for day-to-day finance operations with providing strategic financial advice to the senior management team, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements, and supporting service managers across multiple programmes of work.
Core responsibilities
The role involved managing the finance function alongside a Finance Officer, overseeing annual accounts and audits, and delivering accurate management reports for the Board and funders. Additional duties included payroll management, cash flow monitoring, and developing budgets and forecasts to guide decision-making.
Skills and experience required
The organisation was seeking a qualified and experienced finance professional, ideally with prior experience in the charity or non-profit sector. Strong knowledge of compliance and statutory reporting was essential, as was the ability to provide clear, practical advice to both senior leaders and operational teams.
Value to the business
This appointment provided the financial leadership and assurance needed to maintain compliance, strengthen governance, and support the organisation’s wider mission. It reflects the type of public sector and non-profit finance recruitment we regularly manage in Brighton, Worthing, Guildford and across Surrey and Sussex.
