Finance & Admin Associate

Part-time (20 hrs/week) for three months probation time, then full-time (40 hrs/week).

Bahana-Communication for Change (BC4C) is a social enterprise that helps reformists become better persuaders. In our work, we combine rigor and creativity in social change communication.

We never hire people to be our little assistants. We prime them to replace their bosses and eventually become equity partners.

We hire based on capability, not credentials. Whether you graduated from SMK, D1, D2, D3, or S1, what matters is your competence, willingness to learn, and ability to enrich our team culture.

Communication for Change is founded by minorities and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, religion, disability, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, and genetics

This is a fully remote role, starting part-time for a three-month probation period and moving to full-time upon successful completion. You will be responsible for day-to-day bookkeeping, administrative coordination, and financial documentation, ensuring that our internal processes are accurate, organized, and audit-ready.

This role is ideal for someone building a foundation in finance and operations, who values precision and takes ownership of their work.

We're looking for someone with a solid foundation or genuine eagerness to build one in finance and administration. More important than credentials is your willingness to learn, your discipline, and your care for accuracy.

• Basic accounting knowledge: understands debit/credit, chart of accounts, and financial accountability
• Comfortable with Google Workspace: Drive, Docs, Sheets, and email
• Strong written communication skills in Indonesian; working English is a plus
• Detail-oriented and organized: you notice when something is off, and you follow up
• Self-disciplined remote worker: you manage your own time, meet deadlines, and don't wait to be chased
• Experience with bookkeeping tools (e.g. Mekari/Jurnal) is an advantage, but not required — we will train you

In BC4C, people who are rewarded and promoted are those who

• Consistently refuse to do mediocre jobs: we want team members who put serious effort into their work and tie in their professional pride with the quality of their output. We hire those who want to disprove the myths of unprofessional Indonesians.
• Are respectful to others: we respect others’ time. We are punctual and come to meetings prepared. In meetings, including virtual ones, we don’t multitask so we can pay full attention and listen carefully to others. Lastly, we don’t believe brilliant jerks exist: nobody can be so brilliant she or he can get away with treating others rudely.
• Make things happen, not wait for things to happen: we promote people who take initiatives. We anticipate and prevent, instead of reacting and fixing.
• Are intellectually hungry and humble: we never stop learning about topics that are related to work and ones that give us personal satisfaction. We publicly admit when we don’t know and deliver on the promise that we’ll find out as soon as possible.
