Role Overview

As Teach First’s Financial Controller, you’ll play a key role in managing, controlling and reporting on the charity’s finances.

You’ll be responsible for the operation and development of internal financial control policies and procedures.

Please note: this role is being offered on an FTC basis to cover a temporary internal move.

Key Qualifications

  • Qualified accountant (e.g., ACMA, CIPFA, ACCA or ACA) with up-to‑date knowledge of accounting regulations and reporting standards, and awareness of the Charity SORP
  • Experience leading and developing a team of finance professionals through coaching and management
  • Experience of implementing finance process improvements, and of operating common finance processes (e.g., accounts receivable, accounts payable, record to report)
  • Demonstrable experience of leading an efficient and reliable finance period close process
  • Strong understanding of finance risk management and the development and operation of finance controls and policies
