Introduction

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) is the governing body for Association Football in the Republic of Ireland. The FAI has primary responsibility for all regulatory and footballing aspects of the game in Ireland. Football is a sport that is woven into the fabric of the nation, and as the national governing body the FAI is at the heart of that – from inspiring and engaging legions of passionate fans who follow leading female and male Irish players and world class tournaments, through to supporting the grassroots of the sport which reach into local communities across Ireland to help get the nation active and deliver significant physical and mental health benefits to those involved.

The Department

The role of the Finance Department is to ensure the business prioritises its spending on the projects and programmes that deliver the maximum benefit to our customers – whether that is performance programmes for elite players or children playing football for the first time. Our team is led by the Finance Director who sits on the Senior Leadership Team reporting directly to the CEO.

The department provides strategic financial leadership, robust governance, and commercial insight across the business. At the heart of the department is a high-performing team of finance professionals who combine technical expertise with commercial acumen and integrity. The team works collaboratively with colleagues across the Association, providing trusted advice, constructive challenge, and insightful analysis to support informed decision-making. Empowered to influence outcomes and hold the business accountable for its financial performance, the team plays a key role in ensuring resources are managed effectively and deliver maximum impact.

Principle Purpose and Duties:

The Financial Accountant supports the Financial Controller in maintaining a strong financial control environment and delivering accurate, timely financial information across the Association. The role is responsible for supporting the month-end close process, maintaining the integrity of the general ledger, preparing balance sheet reconciliations, and ensuring compliance with accounting standards, organisational policies, and financial controls.

Working closely with the Financial Controller and the wider Finance team, the Financial Accountant contributes to the preparation of management accounts, financial reporting, and continuous improvement of finance processes to support effective decision-making across the Association.

Undertake ad hoc financial analysis and projects as required by the Financial Controller.
