Our partner’s mission is to make a long term impact on global poverty by supporting pioneering education projects in some of the world’s poorest countries. Working with local partners and schools, its innovative approach provides a high-quality, low-cost business and skills-based education where academic learning is reinforced by hands-on experience. At the same time it builds schools’ ability to generate a sustainable income and plan for the future. Its philosophy is: give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime.
About the Role
As a small organisation with 8 staff members in the UK, finance tasks have to date been carried out by the CEO with support from a part time book-keeper.

As a first step in this regard it is looking for a qualified accountant, with good experience of Quickbooks 2010, and ideally with some non-profit experience, to assist for 3 weeks on a full time voluntary basis with the following:
• Reviewing existing financial management processes along with recommendations for improvements
• Completion of an updated finance manual
• Revising the management accounts and budgets formats
• Training for book-keeper and relevant staff on revised processes
• Additional finance related activities as required
This role would be based at the office in Finsbury Park (Zone 2]. Volunteers travel costs will be covered up to cost of a Zone 1/2 travel card.
