We are a small finance staff so I do a little bit of a lot of things.

I was a missionary at the African Bible College in Malawi, Africa. I had one Malawian colleague who worked in Finance with me and between the two of us, we handled all finance-related things for the College (a/p, a/r, purchasing, budgeting, cash flow management, payroll, tax payments, etc.). There was no real HR function so I got invovled in some of that as well.

Over the 16+ years that I was at Compassion, I wore many hats. I began in a role where I was a field office acountant reviewing country office monthly financial reports but moved into budgeting and eventually monthly financial report management, supervision of payroll and a/p. In about 2005 I moved into a support role for the finance function in field offices and travelled extensively as I did training in the field. During part of this time I sat on the Finance Leadership Team. In about late 2007 Finance went through a re-org and I moved into a business partner role.
