Overseas Volunteer Accountant, Uganda

A growing women’s empowerment social enterprise in Uganda is seeking a volunteer accountant to strengthen budgeting, cashflow forecasting and financial systems. The organisation supports over 300 women artisans, including single mothers, widows and teenage mothers, through vocational training and income generating opportunities linked to handmade crafts. As international sales opportunities grow, the organisation wants to ensure its finance processes remain practical, sustainable and fit for purpose. The volunteer will work with the Founder and Managing Director to review internal processes and controls, support effective use of Zoho Books, review the chart of accounts, improve budgeting and cashflow forecasting, develop simple management reporting tools and support audit preparation. This would suit a hands on volunteer comfortable working closely with a small local team. 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.
