Finance Process Improvement Analyst

Are you a part-qualified or newly qualified accountant looking to use your skills to make a real difference?

We are looking for someone with strong financial acumen and a passion for improving processes to join the team as a Finance Process Improvement Analyst.

This is a vital role within The Felix Project, a charity that rescues good, surplus food from the food industry that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste and deliver it to hundreds of food banks, charities, primary schools and holiday programmes in London. In 2024, The Felix Project gave out the equivalent of 38M meals to over 1,200 community organisations and schools across every London borough.

In this newly created role, you will work closely with the operations team to identify and implement improvements across financial systems and processes - helping them to work smarter, not harder. While you’ll provide ad hoc support with core accounting tasks, your focus will be on driving efficiency, making the most of resources, and helping the charity better serve its cause.

Your day-to-day duties will include:

• Planning, overseeing, and carrying out audits of processes and procedures, in line with the planned schedule
• Assessing compliance with applicable laws and regulations, ie. financial standards
• Evaluating risks and developing recommendations to improve risk management
• Reviewing processes across the business that impact the effectiveness of financial management information reporting
• Guiding non-financial managers in understanding financial management and its impact.
• Help improve finance processes and broader organisational effectiveness

Your skills & experience will include:

• You should be a fully qualified (CIMA, ACCA, ACA, or equivalent) professional OR be part-qualified with substantial experience in performing audit work to a high standard and actively working towards full qualification. (You will receive support for your study and development goals)
• Excellent research and analytical skills enabling you to quickly sort and analyse large amounts of data and create clear, persuasive reports
• A strong understanding of accounting standards is also required

This role offers a real opportunity to bring about positive change in a charity that ensures that food reaches vulnerable children and families, the homeless, the elderly and those who simply cannot afford to buy regular, healthy food.
