The board and the vacancy

The current board has 10 members who work unpaid. Within the board there are a number of specific portfolios. The current treasurer (Driek Enserink) has indicated that he wants to stop his board work in the summer of 2023. This releases the position of Treasurer.

In recent years, Driek has managed to set up the administration of both the Foundation and the Association well. He was coached on a frequent, voluntary basis by Louis Bouten, who himself has a business services company.

As the new treasurer you are responsible for both the financial and administrative part of the MB Foundation and the MB Association. Both organizations have their own bank account and specific administration in which the online accounting program “e-Bookkeeping” is used for the financial part. Account groups and schedules of these online accounts have been made user-friendly according to the needs of both organizations.

Your tasks are aimed at keeping the figures, reports and overviews in order. You pay the bills and check the income. In addition, you determine whether the plans of the board are financially feasible and you translate the policy into a financial overview. In summary, your activities are:

For the Foundation:

· bank account management;

· billing;

· creditor and debtor administration;

· taking care of the quarterly VAT returns for the De Groene Grens management project;

· preparation of the annual budget;
