About Key of HopeKey of Hope is a Christian nonprofit organization that brings hope and transformation to children and families impacted by poverty and AIDS in Africa. Founded in 2007, Key of Hope combines practical aid with spiritual mentoring and discipleship, empowering children and youth to thrive both physically and spiritually. The heart of our work is rooted in the message of Christ and the power of life-long mentoring relationships.Each week, we reach over 2,500 children in Durban through programs like home visits, educational aid, leadership training, and creative arts. Our mission is to meet not just the physical and emotional needs of the children we serve, but to walk alongside them in their spiritual growth, sharing the Gospel through meaningful, lasting relationships.Key of Hope was launched in Durban, South Africa but has recently expanded its reach to Kenya, with a new location in Nyahururu, continuing our mission of discipleship and support. The U.S. team, launched in 2021, plays a crucial role in supporting these efforts, and we are a growing organization with strong opportunities for advancement. Joining our U.S. team provides an exciting chance to support the life-changing work happening across Africa and to grow within a mission-driven, dynamic environment.For more information on Key of Hope, visit .Key ResponsibilitiesBookkeeping & Financial Reporting:Maintain accurate financial records in QuickBooks.Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reports for the executive team and the board of directors.Ensure all transactions are properly recorded and classified.Donor and Donation Management:Manage and maintain donor records using NeonCRM to ensure donations are accurately tracked and reported.Reconcile donation data with financial records.Support fundraising efforts by maintaining accurate donation reports and working closely with the development team.Event Support & Money Handling:Attend and assist in managing financial aspects of fundraising events, including travel to events outside of Michigan (all expenses paid).Oversee the handling of donations and merchandise sales at events, ensuring proper procedures are followed.Coordinate with staff and volunteers for event planning and execution.Financial Oversight:Assist in the preparation of cash flow projections and budget tracking.Monitor and report on the organization's financial health to the leadership team.Support annual audit processes by preparing necessary documentation and liaising with external auditors.Operations Support:Assist with day-to-day operations at the US office, including vendor management, contracts, and general administration as needed.Collaborate with team members to streamline financial and operational processes.QualificationsExperience:2+ years of experience in bookkeeping, finance, or accounting roles, preferably in a nonprofit setting.Experience using QuickBooks (required).Experience with CRM systems, preferably NeonCRM (preferred).Skills:Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and accuracy.Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.Ability to work independently and as part of a team.Proficiency in Google Workspace (Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, Gmail, Calendar, etc.) is preferred.Education:Associate's or Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, business administration, or a related field (preferred).
