• Provide support and challenge to budget holders
• Lead, with the head of finance, the annual budget process and preparation
• Prepare year-end reconciliations and support with audit
• Be the finance representative on the CRM implementation team (implementation due in 2025) and work closely with the Finance Manager on a potential change in the finance system post the 2025 audit
