This growth has increased the complexity of our organization and we are seeking an individual with a keen attention to detail to join our finance team. The Bookkeeper will assist with the day-to-day financial management and record-keeping of the organization.

GENERAL OPERATIONS
While this position’s primary responsibility is in bookkeeping, the Bookkeeper will work as part of the NWMC team to ensure smooth operations for the organization as a whole.
