    Instructions:

    We currently use Aplos software as our accounting system, but your first priority would be to research, review, and recommend a different system. Our former Treasurer is not an accountant, so your second priority will be to migrate our existing records over to the new system.

    Our only paid staff are in Kenya, not in the US, so you will be a tremendous blessing to us if this is something you can commit to for a time.
