Are you a finance professional ready to step into a strategic leadership role in the education sector?
I am working with a dynamic Finance Director who is seeking a qualified or part-qualified finance professional (e.g. AAT, CIMA, ACCA, CIPFA) with strong analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail to help lead and shape the finance function.
This is a rare opportunity to join a values-driven organisation that is student-focused, financially stable, and committed to excellence. You will bring a confident, collaborative approach to leadership and work alongside the Finance Director as a key face of finance across the organisation.
In this role, you will:
- Deliver accurate, insightful monthly management accounts, forecasts, and variance analysis
- Lead on budgeting, financial controls, audit preparation, and year-end processes
- Oversee cash flow management, fixed asset registers, and control account reconciliations
- Manage a small, capable team across finance, payroll, student support, and reception
- Support funding compliance and oversee bursary fund operations
This is a varied and rewarding role where you will be empowered to grow, take on real responsibility, and work closely with senior leaders. You will join a people-focused culture that is collaborative, supportive, and driven by a strong sense of purpose.
