Accounts Manager

Are you a hands‑on finance professional who thrives on improving processes, developing people, and driving system enhancements?

Reporting to the Head of Finance, you’ll lead and develop a small transactional finance team (5‑6 people), ensuring smooth and accurate financial operations while identifying opportunities to improve processes, controls, and systems.

You'll take ownership of:

• End‑to‑end AP and AR processes, including credit control
• Driving process improvements and automation (including P2P systems)
• Supporting finance system implementation and optimisation
• Delivering KPI reporting and dashboards to support decision‑making
• Ensuring strong financial controls, reconciliations, and a smooth month‑end close
• Partnering with stakeholders across the organisation to improve financial understanding and compliance

This is a highly visible role, combining operational leadership with continuous improvement and business partnering.

You’ll be an experienced transactional finance professional with a passion for systems and process improvement.

We’re looking for:

• Proven experience managing or supervising a finance team
• Strong background in transactional accounting (AP, AR, credit control)
• Experience improving processes and driving efficiencies
• Systems‑savvy, ideally with exposure to ERP or finance system implementations
• Confident communicator, able to build relationships across a business
• AAT qualified or qualified by experience
• Experience in a not‑for‑profit or values‑driven organisation would be beneficial, but not essential

This is more than a transactional finance role—it’s an opportunity to shape processes, influence systems, and develop a team within a collaborative and purpose‑driven environment.

• Hybrid and flexible working (including compressed hours options)
• Generous annual leave and pension
• A supportive, people‑focused culture
• Unique perks and access to visitor attractions for you and your family
• The chance to contribute to a meaningful organisational mission

• Full‑time (37.5 hours), with flexibility to consider part‑time (30+ hours)
• Some travel to other UK sites may be required
