Do you like balancing the books? Are you a details person? Does paying bills on time make you feel happy?

If yes, and you have circa 0.5-1 day per week available, you could be our new Treasurer.

You will be responsible for:

• Overseeing the financial affairs of the organisation and ensure they are legal compliance within the accepted accounting practice.
• Ensuring proper records are kept and that effective financial procedures are in place.
• Monitoring and report on the financial health of the organisation.
• Overseeing the production of necessary financial reports/returns, accounts and audits.
• Managing our bank accounts.

Specific tasks include:

• Liaising with Trustee’s members and/or volunteers to ensure the financial viability of the organisation.
• Taking a lead in interpreting financial data to Trustees
• Regularly reporting the financial position at Board of Trustee’s meetings (balance sheet, cash flow, fundraising performance etc).
• Overseeing the production of an annual budget and propose its adoption at the last meeting of the previous financial year.
• Ensuring proper records are kept and that effective financial procedures and controls are in place. Liaise with auditors/an independent examiner.
• Paying suppliers, handling expenses and making authorised purchases.

You will work closely with Our Trustees, DSOs Social Group Leads, and DSOs officers (Chair and Secretary), a wonderful collective of volunteers who work together to keep DSO running.

A full handover and support will be given, with the option for the handover to happen over an extended period with our outgoing Treasurer.
