Are you a qualified accountant or an experienced finance expert? Can you speak Russian and English? Do you want to travel the world using your skills to build the financial capacity of charity organisations? If so, we may have the perfect roles for you!
Accounting for International Development (AfID) has been sourcing volunteer accountants for international charities since 2009 and now we need Russian speaking accounting professionals to assist our partners abroad. Having placed over 550 volunteers in roles with over 340 charities across 37 countries, we are now expanding our operations to bring financial expertise to even more charities. Here we hope to develop our partners’ accounting skills and train them in order to become self-sufficient as many of our partners are small grass-roots, community-led organisations that simply cannot afford to hire or train an accountant. The need for accounting expertise in this sector is vital, with many charity organisations receiving limited funding, it is the role of the accountant to maximise the efficiency of the funds available and help the organisations to grow financially.
Whilst we specifically require Russian speaking accountants for immediate roles, there is always a high demand for any bilingual accountant – especially Spanish and French speakers. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to get away from the humdrum of the office life and do something truly inspiring to help others. Our charity partners range from small community based organisations right through to the largest international NGOs and charities in the international development sector. Between them they work tirelessly to address a host of issues in the hope of bettering society as a whole, from agricultural development in rural Africa, to women’s rights in Asia, from homelessness in Latin America to preventing disease, disaster and destitution worldwide.
We have a comprehensive range of projects for you to choose from and can tailor assignments to your needs and availability. This flexibility allows us to find the perfect volunteer for each organisation and makes volunteering a viable option for accountants who otherwise might not consider supporting our partner organisations. In many instances we have found that volunteering is an excellent way to gain experience in the sector and many of our accountants have changed careers in order to assist charity organisations in a more permanent fashion. We have programmes in place to support this desire as well and with our network of partners and volunteers are able to provide quality, proven advice on all matters associated with financial services in the international development sector.
Our assignments offer a highly rewarding experience for accountants who wish to give something back, but also for our charity partners as the efforts of our volunteers helps them to become more sustainable and ensures their financial viability so that they may continue to help those who need it most.
