The Charity Finance Directors' Group has announced the appointment of Caron Bradshaw as CFDG's new chief executive.

She is currently head of charity and voluntary sector at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, and will start at CFDG in the early summer of 2010.

Charles Nall, chair of the board of trustee said: "We are delighted to welcome Caron Bradshaw as our new CEO at CFDG. We believe that her appointment heralds an exciting and energetic new period for CFDG, and we look forward to working with her very much as CFDG increases its influence on policies affecting the sector."

Caron Bradshaw, added: "This is a thrilling opportunity to take the concerns of financial leadership in the sector to the next level. I am looking forward to building upon CFDG's new strategy and influencing the emerging agenda across political parties.

"The outlook for the sector over the coming months is likely to be extremely challenging, whoever forms the new government, but coming from a membership organisation, I'm eager to work with and support our members to capitalise on the rich opportunities for charities and their finance directors arising from the current environment."

Bradshaw takes over from David Membrey, acting CEO, who kept CFDG on a stable footing whilst a new permanent CEO was found.

Keith Hickey, previous CEO, moved on after three and half years at CFDG to become strategic director of resources at RNIB.
