  • Manage the relationship with our outsourced accounting provider to ensure alignment across systems and reporting
  • Prepare monthly financial statements and provide insights to support leadership decision-making
  • Ensure accurate accounting of revenue from global donation and subscription platforms (e.g. Stripe, PayPal, Paddle, Google Play)
