FUNCTIONS

The Regional Finance Manager ensures high quality & accurate financial reporting and sound financial management of IMPACT-managed activities in compliance with IMPACT and donors’ rules and regulations, as well as providing oversight to the finance teams in the countries where IMPACT operates. They will contribute to the development of the country/region strategic and operational plans. Emphasis will be placed on financial management policies, practices and systems that are compliant with local laws as well as adhering to donor requirements but are also conducive to effective implementation of country programs.

As Regional FM, they will have responsibility for all aspects of strategic and analytical finance in the country/ regional portfolio, acting as the principal finance business partner to senior staff across the region, notably Multi-Country Representative (MCRs), Country Representatives/Coordinators (CRs/CCs), as well as HQ Finance.

The Regional FM supports country teams and line-manages the pooled Country Finance Officers (CFO), as well as providing functional management of dedicated Country Finance Officers, in ensuring effective and timely financial management of the IMPACT-managed programs (including both IMPACT Lines and expenses incurred by host agency ACTED). The Regional FM is responsible for reviewing the relative priority of tasks across the countries within their portfolio, assigning tasks to pooled CFOs, and reviewing outputs, to ensure work across the region is delivered promptly and to a high standard, and proactively identifying gaps and overloads, and working with MCR/CRs as well as the Regional Coordinator to ensure these are mitigated.

The Regional FM reports directly (hierarchical line) to a nominated manager in HQ Finance, who (in consultation with the HQ Senior Country Manager, MCRs/CCs/CRs) monitors their performance. When supporting a given country, the work of RFM is also overseen by the MCR/CR/CC for all delivery (output) matters (i.e., financial reports, budgets, advice to local management, priority of tasks, training to staff etc.). They will liaise on a regular basis with the ACTED Finance team when IMPACT/REACH is hosted by ACTED in the field.
