OM Mission Statement

OM operates in over 120 countries focussed on sharing the Gospel with those who have never heard it before as well as discipling new believers.

 

The Role

We are looking for several volunteers who are keen to support global Gospel proclamation, with their finance skills.

We have many offices around the world that only have an under trained team member looking after the team finances. We are looking for people who are able to provide these offices with remote assistance and supervision. We currently have a dozen or so people working successfully in similar roles.

We are keen to see a strong partnership develop between you and our finance team members. We encourage travel to provide occasional face to face support.

Key Responsibilities are likely to include

  1. Oversee the local finance team and help them to stay up to date

  2. Prepare the monthly inter entity reconciliations

  3. Monitoring cashflow

  4. Prepare end of month balance sheet reconciliations

  5. Review the chart of accounts and cost centre structure to help the team produce effective management reports

  6. Interpreting financial data for team leadership

  7. Assisting annual budget preparation

Skills

  • accounting experience

Time Commitment and Work Hours

We are seeking an average of 4 to 8 hours per week. The exact times and days are quite flexible and can fit in with your other commitments including holidays.
