About This Organization

Resilience Action International (formerly SAVIC) is a nonprofit working to empower refugees through education, entrepreneurship development and access to sexual and reproductive health services.

What We Need

• Analysis of accounting needs and assessment of current accounting practices
• Recommendations for process improvements and report generation
• Recommendations for appropriate bookkeeping software and related costs (if necessary)
• Implementation of chosen bookkeeping software (if necessary)
• Training on data input and essential reports to generate

How This Will Help

• We will use this project to complete setting up our accounting system. With the help of another Catchafire Expert, we recently adopted an accounting system, developed Chart of Accounts, and set up an accounting software using Aplos.
• With this new project, we would like to move from Aplos to QuickBooks Online. The expert in this project will help us set the QuickBooks in a customized manner to make our work easier as an NGO.

What We Have In Place

We currently have Chart of Accounts, Finance Manuals, Accounting Policy, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a team of 2 people to help you get started, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
