Background

Resolve is a S88 charity founded in 2017 to inspire, empower and connect emerging community leaders for an inclusive Hong Kong. As we move from a start-up to a more mature organization, we would like to upskill our financial management systems, processes and capabilities within the team. We are seeking a volunteer with seasoned financial acumen and real-world experience with Xero (our financial software) who can review what we are currently doing, what the gaps are and to help us to devise and execute practical solutions forward to improve these processes. The volunteer should have also had experience in guiding teams through change management and capacity-building on financial systems.

What We Have

Brief orientation about Resolve and the current financial management system.

Why this is important

At Resolve, we talk about being a learning organization. We always look to ways that we can enhance the quality of our work, and this extends to our operations. Financial accuracy and responsiveness in our reporting is extremely important to us as we value accountability to our stakeholders. As we have grown our number of donors, we seek to ensure that as an organization we can manage this complexity with professionalism. We also seek to build the capacity of our team so as to reduce bottlenecks and ultimately save resources but also to empower members in the process.
