Accounting Systems Set Up

Those Nerdy Girls is a small non-profit in the science and health communication field. We are mostly volunteer led and operated.

We're looking for a volunteer with experience setting up a bookkeeping system and/or software from scratch! You'll help us set up regular recording, reconciliation, and reporting practices by spending 15-20 hours with us over 6-8 weeks. In our first meeting, we'll share a detailed description of our existing financial record-keeping and reporting systems. In phase one of the project, you'll help us chose a budgeting/accounting software and migrate our data over to the new software and help us set up our account administrator privileges for our users. In the second phase of our project, you will provide one team members with basic training. We ask that you make yourself available for up to two weeks to address our questions as we adjust to the new software and systems.

We are currently a mostly volunteer run organization which hopes to find a sustainability model so that we can start paying our staff. With one person acting as ED, COO and editor in chief, they need support in transitioning from current pro bono accounting services to in-house accounting. Your help will ensure that the transition goes smoothly and that the ED has more time devoted to finding a sustainable path forward.

We've are losing our current pro bono accounting services (accounting, accounts payable, etc) and need to set up new accounting software. We've had a bit of basic training on how the system is working under the current accounting services provider. We can enlist their help in the transition period. We will designate a member of our team who will manage the volunteer and the project.
