Work hours: Monday - Friday, 6.00 pm to 10.00 pm (Thailand time)

Personal Strengths:

• Clear communicator in English

• Comfortable working in a small, evolving organization

• Able to balance precision with adaptability

Responsibilities:

Financial Reporting & Insights

You will own the financial narrative of the organization.

This includes preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, while translating numbers into clear, meaningful insights. Your work will support leadership and Board-level decision-making.

You'll help move beyond spreadsheets into dashboards, trends, and forward-looking visibility.

Month-End & Year-End Close

You will oversee closing processes with accuracy and discipline.

This includes reviewing journal entries, reconciliations, and accruals, while ensuring financial data remains reliable and audit-ready.

You will also act as a key liaison for annual audits, coordinating schedules and supporting documentation.

Budgeting & Forecasting

You will help shape financial planning across the organization.

Working with leadership and program managers, you will lead budgeting cycles, develop forecasts, monitor variances, and provide practical recommendations as priorities evolve.

Cash flow visibility and financial sustainability will be central to your work.

Billing & Revenue Operations

You will bring structure and accuracy to billing processes.

This includes invoice generation, revenue recognition, and accounts receivable oversight. You will ensure billing remains timely, compliant, and aligned with grant and funding requirements.

Experience working with time-tracking and grant-based billing is highly valuable.

Internal Controls & Compliance

You will help maintain financial integrity.

You'll review and strengthen internal controls while ensuring compliance with nonprofit accounting standards (GAAP), grant obligations, and regulatory filings, including Form 990.

Team Coordination

You will work alongside and support the bookkeeper.

This is not a hierarchical management role, but a collaborative partnership focused on accuracy, consistency, and sound financial practices.
