Volunteer Treasurer

Role: Volunteer Treasurer Location: Edinburgh / Remote (flexible) Salary: Voluntary About Edinburgh Direct Aid International Edinburgh Direct Aid International (EDAI) is a Scottish humanitarian charity dedicated to supporting communities affected by conflict, displacement and poverty. For more than 30 years, our volunteer-led organisation has delivered practical humanitarian assistance to people in need. Our current work includes rebuilding schools in Syria, delivering essential supplies to displaced communities in Lebanon, supporting medical and rehabilitation services in Gaza, and providing humanitarian aid in Ukraine. As a small, entirely volunteer-run charity, we rely on the skills and commitment of people who want to make a meaningful difference. Website: https://www.edinburghdirectaid.org About the role We are looking for a Volunteer Treasurer to help oversee EDAI's finances and support the responsible management of funds that make our humanitarian work possible. Working alongside our existing Finance Administration volunteer and charity leadership, you will provide financial guidance, review accounts and help maintain effective financial controls. Key responsibilities

• Review financial records and reports prepared by our Finance Administration volunteer.
• Support financial planning, including budgets, project expenditure, restricted funds, cash flow and reserves.
• Advise on financial controls, payment approvals and appropriate record-keeping.
• Lead the preparation of annual accounts for independent examination, with support from the charity's leadership.
• Provide financial updates at Board meetings and the Annual General Meeting.
• Offer occasional financial guidance to volunteers and project teams. About you We would welcome interest from individuals with experience in accountancy, financial management, audit, bookkeeping or financial reporting. You should be comfortable reviewing financial information, communicating clearly and providing practical advice to a small organisation. Experience in charity finance, restricted funding or Scottish charity reporting requirements would be particularly valuable, but previous charity experience is not essential. Flexibility Much of the work can be undertaken remotely, and we aim to accommodate volunteers' existing professional and personal commitments. However as EDAI is based in Edinburgh, the ability to attend in-person training is required. You will be supported by an established team of volunteers who have extensive experience of EDAI's operations and humanitarian programmes. Interested in joining us?
