Role Summary
The Finance and Management Reporting Officer will turn data into forecasts, financial models, management reports, and recommendations that support decisions.
The role requires curiosity, judgement, commercial awareness, and the ability to work through incomplete information.
This is not a routine accounts role. Accurate records and reconciliations are expected, but the value lies in explaining what the figures mean for cash, revenue, cost, profitability, performance, and growth.
The successful candidate must identify the real issue, test assumptions, connect financial results to business activity, and present a clear position to management.

Investigate unusual movements, weak performance, financial risks, and improvement opportunities; challenge unsupported assumptions and recommend practical action.
Analyse financial and operational data to identify the drivers of revenue, cost, cash flow, margin, and profitability.
Prepare scenario analyses and business cases for pricing, investment, resource allocation, new programmes, and other management decisions.
Management Reporting and Forecasting:
Prepare monthly management accounts, rolling cash-flow forecasts, budgets, and revenue, cost, margin, and profitability reports.
Design concise dashboards and performance indicators that give management visibility across services, programmes, and business lines.
Explain variances, update assumptions as conditions change, and present decision-focused reports that show management what is likely to happen next.
Financial Systems and Business Support:
Build adaptable models and reporting tools for budgeting, working capital, receivables, cost control, break-even analysis, and profitability using Zoho Books, Excel or Google Sheets, and appropriate automation.
Review finance processes, controls, and reporting practices, diagnose gaps, and implement workable improvements.
Finance Operations and Control:
Prepare budgets, break-even projections, and post-delivery profitability reviews for training programmes and other projects.
Manage receivables, payables, approved payments, payroll inputs, statutory obligations, and audit support; follow up on collections and raise unresolved exceptions early.
Maintain reliable accounting records, management schedules, reconciliations, and supporting documentation in Zoho Books.
How Success Will Be Measured
Improvement in financial reporting tools, processes, controls, and management response time.
Visibility of cash flow, working capital, cost, margin, and profitability across the business.
Early identification of financial risks, performance gaps, and improvement opportunities.
Accuracy of records and compliance with reconciliation, tax, payroll, audit, and control deadlines.
Quality and usefulness of financial analysis, forecasts, models, management reports, and recommendations.
Required
Experience
Advanced Excel or Google Sheets capability and practical
with Zoho Books or another cloud accounting platform.

in management accounting, financial planning and analysis, commercial finance, business partnering, advisory, or a similar role.
Strong written and verbal presentation skills. ICAN, ACCA, CIMA, or another recognised professional qualification, completed or in progress, will be an advantage.
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field.
Who You Are:
Able to move between detailed records and the wider business picture and form a reasoned view from incomplete information.
Naturally curious, able to spot inconsistencies, and willing to ask the questions required to understand what sits behind a figure.
Clear and credible with non-finance colleagues and senior management, while remaining independent, discreet, and accountable.
Commercially minded and able to connect business activity with cash flow, cost, margin, profitability, and risk.
