The finance department covers a wide range of areas and is responsible for overseeing the day to day finances of the Diocese as well as forecasting and budgeting for the future both strategically and in a close relationship with Ministry, Mission Education and Transforming Communities to make sure all the churches in the diocese can receive the support and encouragement required.
The Director of Finance is Jonathan Hill.
In addition the department is responsible for all stipend related issues as well as offering to parishes salary payroll services (please note this is outsourced).
Parish Resources falls under the remit of the Department and this includes Christian giving and a centralised Gift Aid service.
The department is also responsible for the Parish Share and provides dedicated members of staff to each of the four Archdeaconries to make help parishes understand the system and offer guidance and assistance.
Members of the department also offer Independent examinations to parishes as well as guidance on Annual Accounts and Annual finance Form returns and ever changing tax and charity legislation.
Jonathan Hill, the Director of Finance, sees his role as ensuring that the department provides all the necessary information and knowledge required to support such a large and diverse diocese and have staff who are able to help parishes with financial and non financial issues. It is imperative that the centre provides a service that supports parishes and is on hand to help them when issues arise and offer all the help needed to both the clergy and the many volunteers that give many hours generously
