Work With Us

We are currently recruiting for:

No current Vacancies.

We’re a friendly group of people that look after some amazing foundations and almshouses from a beautifully-located rural office in the heart of the Cotswolds, with some team members working remotely from London and other parts of the country to look after specific clients.

We are excited that we’ve not only been able to build a thriving business, but to do so on strong ethical foundations. The way we look after our staff, our clients and other stakeholders is important to us. We believe it’s possible to be a good business and a profitable one at the same time.

We are always interested to hear from great people in our sector, or those hoping to develop a career within it. You can check back here regularly to see any specific roles that we are recruiting for, but these are the typical and most common general roles:

Clerks to Trustees (sometimes called the Secretary to the Board) are skilled people who often come to us with specialist experience in governance and the administration of foundations, and sometimes within a specific area such as grantmaking or social housing (for our almshouse clients). Our clerks are responsible for a portfolio of trusts and almshouse charities, being the principal point of contact for Trustees, supported by specialist administrators. Experience of working with boards of Trustees is essential, and for the almshouses within our care familiarity with these charities is also important. Clerks visit our Gloucestershire offices and clients in London and need to be able to do so easily, sometimes at short notice. We seek to work with motivated individuals with an exemplary work ethic and a professional attitude. Accuracy is essential in all that we do and an eye for detail that is balanced with an ability to see the bigger picture is also important. Respect, integrity, and emotional intelligence are central to these roles.

Administrators have excellent organisational, communication and ICT skills and they understand the importance of maintaining confidentiality at all times. They assist with preparing meeting agendas and papers, support the Clerks to Trustees and are the initial point of contact for the activities of clients. Like the Clerks, they often work across a number of clients which provides even more interest and experience. These roles are great for learning the basics of board management and governance, and we can provide support and training to staff members wishing to become Clerks.

Management Accountants work closely with clients and other team members to manage the financial affairs of foundations and almshouses and are typically qualified or part-qualified accountants. They are normally responsible for producing management accounts for a portfolio of clients including; processing entries to Xero, income and expenditure and balance sheet reconciliations, budgeting, forecasting and report production from Xero and Excel. They also produce our clients’ annual statutory accounts, manage the year end process and liaise with auditors and are supported by a team of Bookkeepers.

Bookkeepers work closely with Management Accountants and other team members to support clients with a range of functions including financial administration.
