Accounting for International Development
A women led grassroots charity in southern India is seeking a volunteer accountant to strengthen accounting systems, reporting, budgeting and finance team confidence.
The organisation works with women, children and marginalised communities through programmes focused on empowerment, health advocacy, childcare, education and residential care for children affected by HIV/AIDS.
Much of the organisation’s accounting remains manual and paper based, and financial reports are generally prepared only when requested by donors.
The volunteer will review current finance processes, assess use of accounting software, support budgeting and cashflow tools, introduce simple monthly management accounts, improve donor reporting and provide mentoring to the local finance team.
This would suit a supportive, hands on volunteer who enjoys working closely with smaller grassroots organisations.
Free accommodation, weekday breakfast and lunch, and airport transfers from Madurai Airport can be arranged.
Please note that this is a voluntary role and there is therefore no remuneration.
