Finance Officer- Permanent – Full time- Third Sector - North Antrim Coast

Your new company

This organisation operates across Northern Ireland delivering community-focused programmes that bring people together across differences. With a strong values-led mission and a reputation for integrity, collaboration and social impact, the organisation welcomes thousands of participants each year through both residential and outreach-based services. The finance function plays a central role in underpinning operational excellence and long-term sustainability.

Your new role

As Finance Officer, you will support the senior finance lead in delivering robust financial management, reporting and compliance across the organisation. This is a broad, hands-on role covering day-to-day transactional finance through to management reporting, fund monitoring and audit support.
Key responsibilities include maintaining accurate financial records, managing month-end processes, preparing journals and balance sheet reconciliations, and producing monthly management accounts and forecasts. You will interpret financial information for non-financial stakeholders, respond to finance-related queries, and contribute to KPI and ad-hoc analysis.
The role also has a strong payroll and funding focus. You will process monthly payroll, ensure statutory submissions are completed accurately and on time, and support pension and HMRC reporting. In addition, you will monitor restricted and unrestricted funds, prepare financial returns for funders, and assist with financial data for funding applications and compliance audits.
You will liaise closely with budget holders, programme managers and senior leadership, occasionally deputising for the head of finance, and may provide guidance to junior finance staff. Flexibility is required due to the nature of the organisation’s work.

  • Prior experience in a finance or accounts role

  • Flexible working
  • Opportunity to work in a well-established finance team
  • Paid holidays
  • Good company culture
