The role of Treasurer is critical to both compliance and viability. As the Treasurer, you will provide support and advice in relation to board and financial matters. You’ll monitor Avenues financial activities and performance, ensuring that proper accounts are kept, and financial resources are spent and invested in line with good governance, legal and regulatory requirements. Working closely with the CEO, Chair and Trustees you’ll provide reports, advice, and clarity of the financial performance of Avenue with the aim of ensuring long-term stability.

We are seeking a highly experienced individual with a strong background in a finance-based role such as an accountant, financial controller/director or similar.
