Working in the Government Finance Function

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.

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.

We deal with big budgets in big ways. We influence key decisions and support our community with our finance expertise, giving us a voice in rooms throughout government.
