The Treasurer will oversee the financial matters of the charity in line with good practice and legal requirements, and report to the Board of Trustees at regular intervals about the financial health of the organisation. They will ensure that effective financial management systems, controls and procedures are in place, and are appropriate for the charity's needs.

The successful candidate will have experience of operating within a board in a charitable, public sector or commercial organisation, as well as a commitment to feminist principles and a passion for ending violence against women.

The board meets 5 times per year, and the finance sub-committee has an additional 4 meetings annually.

They are seeking a new Treasurer to join their existing board in leading the organisation through their next exciting period of change. While they are seeking someone with knowledge of UK charity finance and legal requirements, they are particularly interested to hear from candidates from the Global South, wherever their current location.

The Treasurer will monitor the financial administration of the charity and report to the board of trustees at regular intervals on its state of financial health, in line with best practice, and in compliance with legal requirements. 

The Treasurer role will require approximately 10-12 days per annum, including three Board meetings, two of which are usually virtual, and occasional virtual meetings with the Executive Director, Finance Manager, and Auditor. In addition, the Treasurer will chair the Finance and Audit sub-committee.

The role of the Trustees is to set the organisation’s strategic direction, monitor the delivery of its objectives, and uphold its values and governance. The board will also guide, advise and support the Chair, who leads the delivery team towards achieving their vision and purpose.

For this role, they are specifically looking for someone with a finance background and existing or previous experience in charity finance and governance to work with existing trustees to oversee the financial matters of the charity in line with good practice and legal obligations.

The Board meets formally four to six times per year, mostly online with one in-person meeting annually in central London. In addition, you will be expected to join the Finance, Governance and Risk sub-committee.

They are seeking a new Treasurer to support their Board of Trustees in meeting their financial obligations. Specific responsibilities include overseeing, approving and presenting budgets, accounts and financial statements and advising on the financial implications of the organisation’s strategic plans.

Experience of being a Treasurer previously is not essential. They are looking for someone who has skills in financial management with a commitment to the vision, mission and values of the organisation. 

Board members are expected to attend three board meetings a year in February, June and October. The Treasurer also chairs the Finance and Resources Committee which meets four times a year.

In 2022 they implemented the ERP software Odoo for their operations in Vietnam. They currently use it to monitor sales, customers and for their accounting (alongside a separate local system to meet regulatory requirements). They are now looking for volunteer support to help them extend their use of this tool to include production, inventory management, purchases and HR.

The volunteer will help the team to understand the tool and its functionality; provide their expert opinion on the best way to implement its additional functionality; and help set up clear processes for the team to utilise these tools.

The assignment does require a volunteer with good knowledge of Odoo and ideally with experience of implementing it in a previous organisation.

They are seeking a Treasurer with experience of working with not for profits in setting strategic financial direction. You would be joining the board at an exciting time, as they implement their new strategy, build on their campaigns and broaden their advocacy to mobilise greater support and achieve change.

In addition to the general responsibilities of a trustee, the responsibility of the Treasurer is to maintain an overview of the organisation's affairs, ensuring its financial viability and that the organisation has policies and systems in place to ensure robust financial planning, implementation and reporting.

This is a substantial and responsible role, and would suit someone able to commit about 18-20 hours three times a year. Board and committee meetings are held three times a year (on Zoom), and there may be ad hoc meetings between these as well as an expectation that support and guidance will be provided to the CEO and other staff on an ongoing basis.

They are seeking a Treasurer to oversee the financial management of the organisation, working closely with the finance team to ensure accurate financial records, and preparing and presenting financial reports to the board. The post holder will advise on financial strategy and risk management, and ensure compliance with financial regulations and reporting requirements.

They are particularly keen to receive interest from candidates with experience of working, volunteering, or living in sub-Saharan Africa, and/or exposure to microfinance or social investment.

The Board meets every 2 months, and the Treasurer will also chair the Finance Committee which meets monthly. All meetings take place online.

They are seeking a Trustee to be an active and engaged member of their Finance Committee, working alongside the Treasurer in scrutinising financial reports, considering the financial risks facing the charity, ensuring that internal financial controls and procedures safeguard the charity’s assets, and developing appropriate financial policies.

The post holder will have an accountancy qualification or an equivalent level of experience and expertise in accountancy and charity finance, as well as risk management. The ideal candidate will have international charity governance and financial management experience, preferably through a previous executive or Trustee role.

Both the Board and Finance Committee meet  4 times annually, either online or in central London. You will also need to engage with your fellow Trustees, the Executive and other staff teams as required.

They are looking to further expand the range of Trustee skills that they can draw upon, to help lead them through an exciting stage of their development, and are particularly keen on bringing a Trustee onto the Board with knowledge or experience in Finance – as one of the key areas of focus for good governance.

Trustees are expected to prepare for and attend up to six Board meetings a year, plus the AGM. Trustees also need to be available to contribute advice and support on an ad hoc basis as required, and get involved in committee meetings, focusing on People, Audit & Risk, Finance, and Charitable Impact.

They are seeking a Treasurer to help them to continue their growth from a small community start-up into a high-impact, well-renowned, and sustainable international organisation by overseeing their financial management.

With a finance background, you will be responsible for the oversight of their governance, providing strategic support related to financial management, and overseeing robust financial processes for continued growth. Individuals are sought who have a strong empathy with their work and vision, and share their values and commitment to social and racial justice.

The Board meets online every quarter for 2 hours and they also hold one annual away day. You will also join the Finance and Risk committee which also meets every quarter for around 2 hours. The total estimated time commitment required for the role is around 2-3 hours per month.
