The role

This is a part time role, based on a hybrid basis at our office at Cardiff University’s innovation centre, Spark, where a small group of our colleagues are based. The rest of our team work remotely and are geographically distributed across the UK.

The role is 10 days per month, with the working pattern having lots of flexibility. However, the successful candidate needs to be able to flex their working hours to suit key times such as month end, in order to meet deadlines and provide critical information to the business in a timely manner.

As Reinvigoration Group Finance Manager, you will be responsible for managing the Group’s financial processes, ensuring the accounts are accurately maintained and in optimal condition, while providing strategic financial guidance to support informed business decisions. From managing the monthly P&L reports, liaising with colleagues on client invoicing to managing the accounting email inboxes, you’ll be the go-to person for all things finance.

Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Heads of each Division, you will be someone with incredible attention to detail, who thrives on working independently, using your own initiative with the ability to change focus as needed.

What you'll be getting up to:

· Continue to develop, implement and maintain our financial systems and processes to provide clear visibility of Group finances

· Ensure accurate accounting and financial records covering all aspects of financial activities

· Manage intercompany transfers, balances and reconciliations

· Work with CEO and SLT to prepare the annual budget and tracking monthly progress against this

· Manage company bank accounts and cashflow requirements including making supplier and salary payments and the preparation of cashflow forecasts

· Assist in the preparation and production of a wide range of financial reports including management accounts and project reports as required

· Prepare and submit VAT returns for all companies

· Liaise with the Group accountants on all finance related matters

· Support, train and develop Reinvigoration colleagues on finance processes and their roles within them

This role will be a great fit if you have:

· Part qualified with CIMA, ACCA or ACA practitioner qualifications (or we would consider someone qualified by experience)

· Strong financial acumen and analytical skills, able to understand and interpret financial data, recommending financial changes and adjustments

· Strong experience in the finance software Xero

· Experience in ensuring that service delivery standards, controls and effectiveness are maintained at the highest level

· Able to work and report to all levels of seniority, with the ability to prioritise and deliver against SLAs/KPIs to tight deadlines without direct supervision

· Outstanding communication skills

· Comfortable with ambiguity, flexible and adaptable to changing business needs

· Able to work well under pressure and manage business expectations

· Able to use own initiative, be proactive and able to identify appropriate solutions to problems

· Confidence to support other areas of the business from a financial perspective

· Strong time management skills with the ability to schedule and arrange work around deadlines and the business needs

· Highly organised with meticulous attention to detail

· Advanced ability with Microsoft Excel and strong ability with Word and PowerPoint

And an incredible fit if you also have:
