中律原咨询(北京)有限公司
CLD Consultants (Beijing)

Introduction to the Company and the Job
中律原咨询(北京)有限公司, (English name: CLD Consultants (Beijing)), is a small Chinese firm that was founded specifically to support social development projects and international cooperation programs in China.  中律原provides consulting services and technical assistance to Chinese organizations, foreign companies, international donors and foreign non-profit organizations.  The Company’s consulting services and projects focus on the areas of: legal system development, legal reform, public interest, women’s issues, governance, education reform, and capacity-building of non-governmental organizations.  Since 2003, 中律原has had a eight-person office in Beijing.

The Company is now seeking an Accountant.  The Accountant is responsible for assisting Financial Manager in handling the Company’s financial matters.  A detailed description of the job of the Accountant is provided below.
It is important to note that中律原is not a typical business company.  Much of our work involves international exchanges and cooperation programs between Chinese and foreign organizations.  For example, the Company advises Chinese and foreign organizations on the design of non-profit projects, helps Chinese organizations find suitable foreign partners, helps Chinese organizations raise funding for non-profit projects, runs training programs, and assists in organizing international seminars.  Therefore, the Accountant should be interested in non-profit programs, and more generally, in social development issues in China.  People who are looking for work experience in a traditional business company should not apply.
Since we are a small, unusual company, the Accountant must have comprehensive skills.  She/he should enjoy working in a more informal work environment.  Furthermore, because much of our services and projects involve working with foreign partners, the Accountant must have good English writing and reading skills.
