Job summary
For over two decades, the Cappies, www.cappies.com, has had the privilege of celebrating the extraordinary talents of high school theatre students and student critics across North America. As our organization continues to grow and inspire young artists, strong operational leadership behind the scenes is vital to our mission. Following the departure of our previous treasurer, we are grateful to our interim treasurer for stepping in to ensure a smooth transition. We are now actively searching for a voluntary Board Treasurer to join the Cappies Inc. Governing Board on a longer-term basis. About the Role & Opportunity This position is an impactful way for a finance or accounting professional to give back to the arts and youth education. Clean & "Plug-and-Play" Books: Our financial records are fully up-to-date and organized in QuickBooks.

Day-to-day data entry and routine transaction tracking are streamlined and automated.
