The person selected for this position will be receiving financial information via email, and the accounting will be done jointly connecting via Zoom with another director on the board to begin with. Board meetings occur on the second Thursday of the month and they are about one hour in length. The monthly accounting reconciliation and reports take about one hour to prepare using the automated accounting program- therefore the time commitment is approximately two – three hours working remotely.
