Our partner addresses the scale of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the developing world by scaling up antiretroviral treatment. They developed programmes, working alongside governments and other partners, to lower the costs of treatment and help build the in-country systems necessary to provide lifesaving treatment to HIV/AIDS patients.

Over the last year, the organisation has experienced rapid growth in all areas. Their grant portfolio is now quite significant in size and complexity, with funding from institutional donors.

They recently hired an Accountant, with a background in public sector accounting to oversee the finance function; she is being supported by two members of the senior management / leadership team. In light of their growth and based on the recommendations they received from a recent audit report, they are seeking the support of a pro bono accountant to help them strengthen their control environment, accounting & financial management processes; and manage their grant compliance and reporting requirements.

Your role will be to:

• Review and strengthen their control environment, and update their accounting processes, ensuring that these meet best practice requirements. These will need to be done bearing in mind the demands of a larger, more dispersed office; and their complex grant portfolio.
• Develop accounting, financial management & other relevant organisational policies; ensuring that the new controls and processes and reflected in these.
• Review their use of QuickBooks, and support them in making the most out of the software.
• Support them in understanding and streamlining their grant compliance and reporting requirements. As part of this, you will likely support them in developing reporting tools from QuickBooks.
• Training the new accountant, and other staff as required.

Duration: 3 months +

Flights, accommodation and stipend provided.
