Volunteer Opportunities

Director of Finance

Our board treasurer is planning on retiring after a smooth transition and we need your help keeping our finances healthy and current. Obviously, if we could find a Golden-loving CPA that would be ideal; however, a bookkeeper with a background in financial statements, banking, and cash management might also work. We could even break up the responsibilities to several individuals if necessary. If you have an accounting, banking, bookkeeping, money management background, we’d sure like to talk to you. We can tailor our new financial team to your needs and expertise, so please don’t be shy. We need your help and are flexible on how we reorganize. We have a great accounting firm to do our annual financials and government filings and they can help in other ways as needed. 

Estimated Time Commitment: 15-30 hours per month.
