MLC are proud to be partnered with Citizens Advice to recruit their new Finance Consultant, who will provide support and guidance across the local Citizens Advice offices across the country. You will be responsible for a portfolio of offices, building strong working relationships with both finance and non-finance staff in those offices. You’ll bring your financial expertise and knowledge to a team of people working hard to give advice to millions across the country.

This year Citizens Advice are celebrating their 85th anniversary and during that time they have been helping to shape a society that’s fairer for everyone – working on issues that affect the whole of society. Last year they directly helped over 2.66 million people find a way forward with one-to-one advice, in addition to over 60 million views of their online self-help advice. As part of their commitment to supporting society, they are one of a small number of statutory consumer watchdogs with the ability to submit super-complaints to government. Their value to society has been estimated at £4.7 billion.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation which places high value on staff engagement and growth, with a proven track record of supporting career development with internal promotions and training. The role joins at the end of a period of change for the charity and is a great chance for you to make your mark and develop the role further.

Key Responsibilities include:

• Provide support to local offices with their financial management, reporting and processes.
• Monitor and ensure improving financial standards and compliance with the Charity Commission and other statutory reports.
• Help develop the financial health reporting strategy for the organisation, working with key stakeholders to support the development.
• Upskill local offices with their financial acumen and ability for self-service.

The successful candidate will:

• Be either fully qualified, or part-qualified and studying towards a recognised accounting qualification.
• Experienced in charity accounting, whether that is directly working in a charity or through auditing charities.
• Enjoy working in an evolving environment where there is a focus on modernisation within the finance team.
