We’re the Government Finance Function (GFF), and we’re here to make sure public money is spent wisely. How? By putting finance at the heart of decision making, delivering value for money and strengthening public trust. Think of the GFF as a community. One with 10,000+ finance colleagues, all tapping into shared resources, expertise, networks and values. All working together in a variety of roles and organisations throughout government to improve the lives of people across the UK. That’s quite something. And it’s why we say: there’s strength in numbers.
I'm incredibly proud of what our teams do every single day. We're not just the people who are there to talk about the money. We're there to transform the state into a better place.
Life in the GFF is all about balance. It’s about having challenge in your remit and enjoying a culture of care. It’s about having flexibility in your hours, and ambition in your goals. It’s about feeling the value of your ideas, and the sense of purpose in what we can all achieve together. And it’s about being part of a big community, without ever feeling like a number.
From working at the Cabinet Office supporting the Prime Minister, to HMRC managing the funding for public services, my career has been so varied.
The GFF brings together everyone working in government finance, but we’re not an employer. So, to start your career with us, you’ll join one of the 400+ organisations we work in. We’re based all over the UK, and there are opportunities for everyone looking to enter government finance – whether you’re early in your career or have lots of experience. Wherever you’re based, and whatever your role is, you’ll be able to rely on the support of the GFF community to help you build a varied, long-term career that excites you.
