• Preparing the management accounts pack with full analysis and supporting commentaries, to be delivered and reviewed with stakeholders.  
• Supporting the review of the organisation’s strategy, financial plans and forecasted spend to effectively manage funding from HM Treasury which will include liaison with external stakeholders.
• Partnering with programme managers to stay abreast of ongoing projects, with a particular focus on spend against budget and ensuring that funding restrictions are adhered to.
