Finance Manager - Legacies

A large, nationally recognised charitable organisation is seeking a Finance Manager to support one of its most significant income streams. Working within a high-performing finance team, you will provide financial leadership and insight to the Legacies function, helping shape financial planning and long-term strategy for a complex and evolving area of the organisation.

This role sits at the heart of a large fundraising operation responsible for generating significant income to support the organisation's mission. The Legacies portfolio is a major contributor and requires robust modelling, forecasting and financial insight to inform decision-making.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded Finance Manager or Finance Business Partner who enjoys translating complex data into meaningful insight and working closely with senior stakeholders.

The role is offered on a 14-month fixed term contract and operates on a hybrid basis with 1-2 days per week in a London office.

• Lead financial planning, forecasting and budgeting for the Legacies business area.
• Deliver insightful monthly reporting and variance analysis to senior stakeholders.
• Develop and maintain complex financial models to support long-term income forecasting.
• Provide financial analysis to inform strategic decisions and business cases.
• Translate complex financial data into clear and practical insight for non-finance leaders.
• Support improvements to financial modelling and planning processes.
• Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders across fundraising and finance teams.
• Work collaboratively across the wider finance team to ensure accurate reporting and planning.

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) or equivalent experience.
• Strong experience in financial planning, forecasting and business partnering.
• Advanced financial modelling and analytical skills, ideally in areas involving complex or judgement-based income streams.
• Experience working within large, complex organisations.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence senior leaders.
• Experience within fundraising, marketing or similarly commercial environments is beneficial, though not essential.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a mission-driven organisation where finance plays a critical role in enabling strategic decisions and long-term impact.
