This includes maintaining accurate financial records, processing invoices and payments, reconciling our book-keeping software (currently Quickbooks), and producing regular management accounts.
You will be responsible to and work closely with our Managing Director to ensure financial information is provided to our Board of Trustees, funders and other stakeholders; and act as Secretary to our Finance Task Group, convening and minuting meetings.
