Finance Manager

Beloved Rabbits are entering a new phase of ambitious development, that seeks to improve the charity’s financial strength as we work towards a three-stage plan that will culminate in the opening of a new purpose designed rabbit welfare services centre.  We've launched a Fundraising Strategy for the period 2022 - 2024, and our success in securing the financial stability we need to provide for the rabbits in need in Scotland is underpinned by reliable financial reporting and budget management - especially against the challenges of a cost of living crisis.

We are looking for new members of our management team to take on voluntary roles  to help us with this.

The Financial Manager is a critical role as part of these plans.

As our Financial Manager you will:

  • work closely with our Bookkeeper volunteer to record all our income and expenditure correctly via recognised Bookkeeping methodologies using online accountancy software (Intuit Quickbooks)
  • assist the Board of Trustees with some simple monthly finance reports.
  • assist with the collation of OSCR Annual Returns
  • develop financial forecasting and budget plans
  • assist our Fundraising Trustee and Fund Action Co-ordinators with the provision of financial details for grant applications.
