Overseas Volunteer Accountant, Malawi

A growing NGO in Malawi, working across education, livelihoods, health and environmental sustainability, is seeking a volunteer accountant to strengthen its finance systems. The organisation has grown significantly and now manages multiple donor funded projects, with annual income of over £1 million. QuickBooks has been introduced, but is not yet fully embedded, and many processes remain manual. The volunteer will work with the Finance and Administration Manager, wider finance team and senior leadership to review current systems, identify priorities and support practical improvements. Key areas of support may include QuickBooks, budgeting, forecasting, cashflow, donor reporting, management accounts, internal controls, expenditure verification, audit readiness and mentoring. This would suit a collaborative and adaptable finance professional who can balance a broad systems review with practical, hands on support. Please note that this is a voluntary role and there is therefore no remuneration. ______________________________________ Accounting for International Development (AfID) matches experienced accountants with charities, NGOs and social enterprises around the world.
