It’s an exciting time at LCF. We’re busy working on modernising our operations and processes to maximise our impact for our donors and beneficiaries alike. This is an opportunity to play a vital Management Accountant role in that process, whilst also supporting the everyday business activity in the capacity of a finance business partner.

As Management Accountant, you will be a dynamic, enthusiastic person with a commitment to supporting communities across London. A charity or non-profit background is not required; what’s more important is that you can demonstrate a commitment to our values and have the skills and attitude to have an impact in the Management Accountant role.

We’re looking for someone with a full CCAB recognised qualification (e.g ACA, CIMA, CIPFA). Some post-qualification experience is desirable, but we will be open to applicants from recently qualified candidates too.

For this Management Accountant role, you will need to be somebody who is willing and able to learn quickly, who thrives in a complex business environment. LCF plays a crucial role bringing together community-based organisations and donors, made up of a mixture of corporate partners, individual philanthropists, statutory bodies, and other trusts and foundations. This brings a complexity that requires a sharp mind, great attention to detail, and flexibility in approach.

The Management Accountant will be flexible in their approach to work and able to cope with a dynamic environment in which priorities can quickly change, able to exercise outstanding personal judgement. The Management Accountant will have a can-do attitude and positive outlook, but also be assertive when you think there’s a better way to do something.

As we’re a small organisation, the requirements of the Management Accountant role vary in complexity. We’re looking for somebody who is able to balance the transactional and analytical elements of the role to ensure both are completed to a high standard. The Management Accountant will be capable of distilling complex information to draw clear conclusions and reports. You will also be capable of communicating financial issues in as clear a manner as possible to a range of audiences.

Finally, for this Management Accountant role, you will be someone who thrives in a supportive environment that encourages you to take on new challenges, learn and improve. Your ambition will match ours – to see a strong and vibrant London for everyone.
