SENIOR FINANCE MANAGER

Besa Foundation
Location: Albania

Reports to: Executive Chairman

About the Role

The Foundation is seeking a hands-on Senior Finance Manager to run its day-to-day financial management and provide independent oversight of Foundation funds, including the development and construction of the Museum project.

Working closely with the Executive Chairman, Board, external accountants, auditors, and project teams, you will own financial reporting, budgeting, controls, procurement governance, and contractor cost oversight. The role combines operational finance with a strong fiduciary watchdog function: making sure money is properly approved, accurately spent, and protected.

Reporting and Accounts

• Prepare monthly management accounts: balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, and budget versus actual.
• Maintain accurate records and audit-ready documentation.
• Flag performance issues and recommend action to management.

Budgeting and Planning

• Build annual operating and project budgets.
• Track spend against budget and produce variance reports and forecasts.

Payments and Controls

• Review and approve all payments, ensuring each is authorised, documented, and accurate.
• Verify invoices, payment certificates, and contractor claims against contracts and work actually completed before any payment is released.

Museum Project Oversight

• Track all project costs, commitments, variations, and contingencies against budget.
• Monitor project cash flow and identify potential overruns early.

Procurement and Cost Management

• Review procurement, quotations, and supplier and contractor spend for value for money.
• Identify cost savings and efficiencies.

Governance, Risk and Compliance

• Maintain strong internal controls and ensure compliance with applicable laws and Foundation policies.
• Identify financial, contractual, and procurement risks, and report material concerns and red flags directly to the Executive Chairman.
• Investigate irregular expenditure and implement corrective action.

Audit

• Act as primary liaison with accountants and auditors, coordinate annual audits, and implement findings.

Requirements

• Degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field. A professional qualification (such as CA or ACCA) is advantageous.
• 7 to 10 years of financial management experience.
• Background in non-profit, donor-funded, construction, or property and infrastructure projects is a strong plus.
• Solid command of budgeting, controls, procurement, and audit.

You Are

High-integrity, detail-driven, independent, and proactive, with strong communication and stakeholder skills.
