Finance & IT Manager

Finance & IT Manager - Saltash - Circa: £35,000

Trial Balance Consulting have been exclusively engaged by a new client, a specialist public services organisation with close ties to the NHS network in Cornwall. The organisation seeks to recruit a Finance Manager (with additional IT responsibilities), to join them in a newly created role. The position is offered as a full time, permanent contract to be based at the organisation's headquarters in Saltash but with some potential for hybrid working to be discussed with shortlisted candidates. The role may entail a small amount of local travel across East Cornwall.

Working closely with the Operations Manager, the successful candidate will assume key responsibility for managing the organisation's day-to-day financial controls and IT systems (software focused rather than hardware). This will be a varied and interesting role that will allow the successful candidate to shape an efficient and streamlined function. Key responsibilities include:

1. Production of financial breakdowns and statistics to aid the allocation of finances
2. Production of management accounts for the senior management team and Clinical Director (as well as satisfying transparency of accounting)
3. Ensure adherence to all relevant guidelines and legislation
4. Expenditure and budget management
5. Administration of expenditure claims ensuring an accurate audit trail
6. Management of the accounts payable and receivable function
7. Payroll processing for onward submission to an external bureau
8. Oversee the IT infrastructure ensuring that systems are efficient and streamlined
9. Consider opportunities to enhance the organisation's technology systems, adopting new digital tools where appropriate
10. Provide IT support to colleagues
11. Maintain the organisation's website and intranet

For this role, we seek an experienced Finance Manager, Bookkeeper, or perhaps an Assistant Accountant looking to step up - either part/fully AAT/professionally qualified or qualified through vocational experience. The role combines both finance and IT responsibilities, so experience in, or aptitude to manage technology systems will be essential. This is a highly visible role that will support a wide team, so excellent interpersonal and team working skills will be essential.
