I've tried to stay quiet on most of this, but between managing the charity fund, the support trust for the charity, VCC accounts directly, employees, grants, accounting which money from which grant was spent on which project, super, BAS, PAYE, maintaining the appropriate government reporting, balancing between the organisations, stock control, ordering, invoicing councils, rectifying errors when other people pay all the money innto the wrong accounts, stocktakes, processing memberships, reconciling that the membership processing was correct... etc. The accounts are far from basic.
I estimate it takes about 3-5 hours a week, plus an additional 3-5 hours end of month, plus an additional 10-15 hours a quarter, plus and additional 20-40 hours or so for EOFY, plus additional time to make sure one off requirements are met (e.g. AUSKey is being decommissioned, how are we going to handle that? Or long service leave calculations for an employee of 11 years, etc). Even at the lowest estimates there, it's less than $10 an hour.
I no longer have the time or the energy to give the organisation the effort it needs so I've resigned and you're more than welcome to take the books on. |
