Accounts Examiner

Stewardship offers an annual accounts preparation and review service for churches and charities. The aim is not just to work on the accounts, but to provide advice to clients on a wide area of financial wisdom, governance and regulation, along with training and educational services as needed.

The successful applicant will be expected to be a practising Christian and to clearly demonstrate a personal commitment to the mission, principles, values and practices contained in our Ethos Statement, by:
