Job Details
Unique opportunity for an adventurous accountant looking to gain international experience and work with inspiring and innovative people. Flights & Allowance towards accommodation & meals
Our partner is a growing social enterprise in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania that is leading the way innovating a new way of helping farm families to achieve their full potential. Instead of giving handouts, they invest in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income; they provide farmers with a "service bundle" that includes education, finance, seed and fertilizer and market facilitation.
Your Role
They are seeking someone experienced to support them in reviewing and shortening their timelines for reporting: this will include reviewing their existing processes, making recommendations on streamlining and standardising these, and supporting them in improving the visibility on their reporting tools.
They would also like the volunteer to review these and develop one tool that allows them to effectively monitor their performance as an organisation. Moreover, they are developing a new line of business in one country and would like technical accounting support in understanding how best to integrate this new line of business into their accounting and financial management system.
This broad and wide-ranging assignment is a great opportunity for accountants thinking about a career move to the international development sector to get an extensive insight in just a few months.

Company
Accounting for International Development (A f I D) offers accountants the opportunity to use their skills to make a genuine difference as volunteers and to gain invaluable hands-on overseas experience in the International Development sector. Tailored volunteer assignments of 2 to 12 weeks form part of an ongoing strategy to build the financial management capacity and long term sustainability of small community based charities across Africa, Asia and South America. Our partners which include street kid centres, health clinics and rural schools are doing amazing work to tackle extreme poverty and inequality in their communities but are unable to access vital professional services. A f I D is now supporting almost grassroots charities in over 50 countries across Africa, Asia and South America and are keen to talk to more accountants willing to share their invaluable skills and experience. In only ten years we are pleased to announce the placement of our 1000th volunteer. This will take the total hours of pro-bono financial management coaching by our volunteers to over 200,000. An extraordinary effort, that assisted the development, and in some cases survival, of some fantastic organisations. A f I D is a double award winning social enterprise supported by UnLtd & The Millennium Awards Trust (Funded by the National Lottery).
