We are seeking an experienced volunteer accountant or finance professional for a placement in Uganda, supporting a growing social enterprise near Kampala that empowers single mothers, widows and teenage mothers through vocational training and income-generating opportunities.

Working with over 300 women artisans, the organisation is looking to strengthen its financial management, budgeting, reporting and internal controls as it continues to grow.

They are seeking a volunteer accountant or finance professional to work closely with the Founder and Managing Director to help strengthen budgeting, reporting and financial management processes.

Key areas of support are likely to include:

  • Reviewing internal financial processes and controls
  • Supporting effective use of Zoho Books
  • Reviewing the chart of accounts and asset classification
  • Strengthening budgeting and cashflow forecasting
  • Developing simple management reporting tools
  • Supporting audit preparation and financial documentation

This is a practical, capacity-building placement focused on developing systems and processes that are proportionate, sustainable and easy for the team to maintain going forward.

The placement would suit a hands-on volunteer who is collaborative, adaptable and comfortable working closely with a small local team.

The organisation is seeking support from January/February 2027 onwards, with flexibility depending on volunteer availability.
