Beehive
We are Beehive - a friends-and-family -owned and operated small business, established in 2014 and born out of a desire to deliver professional, flexible, and scalable finance and operations solutions to third sector organisations. We provide our charity partners with the financial and operational experience and knowledge they need, leaving them to get on with the crucial day-job of delivering support to those who need it the most. What we think makes us different is our approach – more than just a service-provider, we embed an effective and efficient finance and operations team into each partner organisation, overseen by a senior professional. An example of the kind of work we deliver can be seen on our website
In the last decade, we have expanded through word-of-mouth and now support nearly 50 partner charities across the UK. It is a time of growth for our organisation, and we are now looking to recruit an experienced finance professional to lead in the provision of end-to-end finance functions for a portfolio of our charity clients.

The Culture
This is a hugely rewarding and varied role working alongside some exceptional organisations and, for the right individual, comes with the opportunity to grow as we increase the number of charities we work with. We are proud of the culture we have at Beehive and know that we work at our best when we are happy at work. You can read a bit more about our mission and values on our website.
We meet as a company every month to have brunch and talk about the business. We have team days, when we all swich off our devices and go axe throwing or country walking, and we help each other every day.
Alongside 25 days of annual leave and bank holidays, we all have our birthdays off and the time between Christmas and New Year.
Flexible working and/or part time hours will be considered. This role could be based in either London or in Derbyshire - candidate-dependant we envisage hiring one person in each location.
