The organization needs someone with more than just a head for figures - someone with patience, empathy, and a strong sense of connection. The ideal candidate will have meticulous attention to detail and a genuine understanding of the unique environment of an NGO and the youth it serves. If you're a bookkeeper who can thrive in a collaborative, mission-driven space and are ready to contribute to meaningful work, we would like to hear from you.
