Bookkeeping System Set Up

We're looking for a volunteer with experience setting up a bookkeeping system and/or software from scratch! We would like to set up our accounting for Numbers. You'll help us set up regular recording, reconciliation, and reporting practices by spending 20-25 hours with us over 4-5 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 migrate our data over to our 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 or two of our 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.

Through working with us on this project, the volunteer will support the arts in Brooklyn and help us to present more free arts programming. We are interested and motivated to do our accounting correctly and to maintain accurate records, so we will be excited to work with you and grateful for your expertise!

We have experience working with Numbers and Excel and read the books "Accounting for Non-Accountants" and "Nonprofit Accounting for Dummies" so we understand the basic principles. We got nonprofit status in 2022 and as a very small organization have kept basic financial records. Now we would like to set up an accounting system that will grow with us as we grow, so in the future, if we need to be audited our books are formatted correctly.

We will designate a member of our team who will manage the volunteer and the project.
