We're pleased to be partnering with Spurgeons, who believe in creating brighter futures for children, young people, and families. Every service they offer supports those in need, empowering them to thrive.
As Spurgeons' Head of Finance, you'll lead a dynamic team of six, driving their financial success. You'll oversee budgeting, auditing, and strategic financial planning, all while ensuring every penny they raise directly supports their mission. By providing expert advice to senior leadership, you'll guide decisions that directly impact the lives of vulnerable families. This is more than just a finance role - it's about making a real difference.
You will:
- Be a qualified accountant (ACCA, CA(SA), ACA or CIMA)
- Have extensive experience as a senior finance professional in the charity sector
- Lead the finance team with passion, fostering a culture of growth, inclusion, and high performance
- Advise the Chief Finance and Operating Officer and senior leadership team, influencing key decisions that shape our future
- Oversee all financial functions, ensuring compliance, transparency, and value for money
- Help drive cost-saving initiatives while ensuring every child and family gets the support they need
By month 3, you'll have fully immersed yourself in Spurgeons' ethos and values. By month 6, you'll have reviewed spending patterns and identified savings, and by month 12, you'll have led the annual audit, contributed to strategic planning, and played a key role in financial stewardship.
We're looking for a qualified accountant with extensive experience in the charity sector. You're a strategic thinker, a team leader, and someone who believes in the power of numbers to drive positive change.
