Our partners provides a platform for young people to make their voices heard and to realise their potential to positively change the lives of themselves and their communities. Their work aims to create livelihoods and economic independence; protects those who are vulnerable to early child marriages, HIV and gender and sexual based violence; and teaches youth about leadership, community participation and peer support.

You will begin with an internal review of their existing financial procedures, systems and controls. You will be making and implementing your recommendations for best practice, training staff on new implementations. As a new organisation they are keen to ensure the structure they have in place is fit for purpose as they grow and attract new funding. Their current donors have offered some start-up support, including site visits and reporting guidance but they will benefit from a more tailored coaching for their overall financial procedures. They have also requested support to improve their budgeting, cashflow forecasting, financial planning, reporting, reconciliations and filing.
