Head of Finance at Collier Broderick
Our client, Tallaght and District Credit Union (TDCU), is seeking to recruit a Head of Finance to support the strategic and financial development of the organisation.
The Role
The Head of Finance will be responsible for overseeing and enhancing the financial management, reporting, and strategic financial planning functions of the credit union.
Key areas include the effective management of financial statements, budgeting, corporate services, investment portfolio and compliance with regulatory requirements, particularly in the context of the ongoing strategic development of the credit union.
About the Credit Union and the Finance Function
TDCU, located in Tallaght village, serves the financial needs of the Tallaght community.
The credit union offers savings accounts, loans, and insurance, all with competitive rates and low fees.
It has embarked on strategic developments in recent years, including its merger with neighbouring Firhouse Credit Union, refurbishment of its offices, deployment of digital, AI and automated tools, and strengthening of the senior management team.
It is poised to offer mortgages to the communities of Tallaght in the coming months.
The Finance Function underwent a review and successful enhancement in early 2025 to ensure it was fit for purpose to meet the requirements of the strategic plan and merger completed in June 2025.
The Head of Finance will join the senior management team (Head of Lending and Projects, Head of Operations and IT, Head of Risk and Compliance) and report to the CEO.
TDCU employs 25 people, manages approximately €100 million in assets, and serves a membership of 22,000 in two offices and online or by phone.
The Head of Finance role is expected to become a Pre-Approval Controlled Function (PCF) role once the Credit Union exceeds €100 million in assets, subject to regulatory requirements.
