We know how you feel

Admin Bandit takes you step-by-step through all your tasks as a volunteer treasurer. Director Nerida Gill personally knows the challenges of being a volunteer treasurer. Like most volunteers whe wanted to give back to her community. So armed with a preschooler, a toddler and little accounting experience, she took on the role of treasurer with her local preschool committee in 1999.

She was handed a paper cashbook and after mastering the job thought "There has got to be an easier way!".

As a result of her experience as a volunteer treasurer Nerida applied her more than 20 years experience in the software development industry to design the “Treasurer’s Useful Box” (now called Admin Bandit) in partnership with Canberra Preschool Society.

It is a simple straightforward software accounting package designed specifically to make the role of volunteer treasurers less time consuming and less onerous.

Given that 37% of volunteers give their time to more than one organisation, it makes sense to use the same product across all volunteer work.

To chronicle her experiences as a business person, Nerida has created a blog.

We have continued in partnership with the Canberra Preschool Society (CPS) by assisting the preschool parent associations through training and technical support. To further enhance our support for volunteer treasurers Admin Bandit has started the Volunteer Treasurer Network with a blog.

Nerida also had the privilege of being the opening presenter at the 2007 Prime Minister's Community Business Partnerships Day (pdf 125kb) on "Seven tips for a successful community Business Partnership".
