Foundation Scotland is an independent charity that provides funding to charities, social enterprises and community organisations. We do this on behalf of over 400 individuals, charitable trusts and companies.

Foundation Scotland is on a growth trajectory. The Board are committed to supporting this growth and have set aside funds for investment in technology and systems improvement. We use SunSytems for accounting and budgeting and have interfaces to our Grantmaking and Donor Database [Salesforce] and invoices and expenses system [ExpenseIn]

To support this growth, we’re looking for an Accounts Assistant who will play a key role in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of our accounting data across SunSystems and Salesforce. You’ll work mainly through established interface tools, with some manual processing, and you’ll be encouraged and supported to explore new ways of streamlining tasks and enhancing automation as we evolve.

You’ll be joining a supportive and collaborative team. We work primarily from home, with opportunities to come together in person a few times each month in Edinburgh, ensuring a balance of flexibility, connection and shared learning.

This is a fantastic role for someone who loves continuous improvement, enjoys making systems run better and takes pride in delivering reliable, timely financial information, all while offering excellent customer care.

In return, Foundation Scotland offers a generous and supportive package, including 35 days annual leave, training and development opportunities, flexible working, employer pension contributions and a progressive pay system with benchmarked annual increases.
