Finance Officer

Wimbledon and Putney Commons Conservators are looking for an experienced part qualified accountant/bookkeeper to support the CFO in all financial aspects for the Charity. This role will be a key member of the busy office team based at the Ranger's Office on Wimbledon Common.

While it is primarily focused on the Common’s bookkeeping, the role is also required to support the running of the main office and dealing with the general public as well as customers and suppliers. This is a new role and the successful applicant will be required to:

•       Administer the day to day finances of the Charity.
•       Maintain the General Ledger (Sage 50)
•       Manage the Sales Ledger including raising invoices and Credit Control.
•       Manage the Purchase Ledger, processing bank payments for approval.
•       Submit monthly Payroll and Pension information.
•       Ensure HMRC VAT and PAYE payments are made accurately on time.
•       Take minutes for monthly Finance meetings.
•       Support the general running of the office.

Applicants should have at least five years’ experience in a similar role. A recognised accountancy qualification would be of benefit as would experience of charity accounting. Good IT literacy (including experience of Sage and spreadsheets) and good communication skills are essential.
