Head of Finance

My client is a Southall-based Academy, looking to recruit a Head of Finance to lead the financial provision of the school.

Leading a small finance team, this is the senior finance role for the school, sits on the Senior Leadership Team and reports directly to the Headteacher.

The role holds responsibility for:

1. Providing financial leadership and professional financial management for the school, focusing on budget setting and management.
2. Delivering comprehensive financial planning, ensuring robust financial systems and controls across the department.
3. Overseeing income and expenditure, supported by the finance team.
4. Provision of a raft of reporting and financial insight for governors, headteacher, and senior leadership team.
5. The line management of a small finance team, including their induction, training, and appraisal.
6. Commercial input to estates and grounds by maximizing income from facilities.
7. Ensuring best value for money on procurement of supplies and services.

Applications are sought from individuals with either previous schools or charity sector experience, and certainly supported by ACCA, ACA, or CIMA near or full qualifications.
