The Finance Manager will provide leadership to the finance team. The Finance Manager manages some of our key accounting processes alongside responsibility for the day to day activities of the Finance team. This is a diverse role that requires an ability to maintain a financial overview, undertake a wide range of financial transactions and be adaptable to the needs of the organisation. The role involves working closely with the Director of Finance to deliver a strong and effective finance department at The Reader. 

The Finance Manager role is key to maintaining standards and reporting accuracy, with oversight of the working practices of the finance team and wider organisation to ensure strong processes are in place for monitoring finances, seeking best practice from inside and outside the sector.

Relationship building is a vital part of the role – in addition to advising on technical accounting matters, the Finance Manager applies a flexible, innovative approach to their work, adding value to the organisation through collaboration and interaction with the leadership team, the wider organisation, The Reader community and external stakeholders.
