  • Compliance Guidance: Provide clear guidance on financial compliance principles applicable to donor-funded projects (e.g., USAID, EU, Global Fund).
  • Documentation: Deliver a simplified user guide/manual for ongoing use by the internal finance team.
  • System Integration: Recommend or configure user-friendly tools (e.g., QuickBooks, Sage, Zoho) suited for non-profit/grant-based operations.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Proven experience setting up accounting systems for donor-funded or co-funded grant projects.
  • Strong understanding of financial reporting standards and donor requirements.
  • Demonstrated ability to train and upskill finance personnel.
  • Proficiency in tools like QuickBooks, Zoho, or Sage.
