Chief Finance Officer of the Executive Committee for Clan Society / Board Member - VOLUNTEER ROLE

Volunteer Role: Treasurer of the Lyonic Scots Society (Remote)

4–8 hours per month • Remote • Steward the Finances of a Historic Clan‑Styled Organisation

About Us

The Lyonic Scots Society is a Scottish clan‑styled community with origins dating back to 1746, formed in the aftermath of Culloden. For nearly three centuries, our members have preserved our identity, traditions, and cultural spirit. Today, as our historic numbers naturally decline, we are entering a new era — transforming into a modern, global organisation with the ambition to grow into a worldwide micronation‑style community.

We are led by our Clan Chief, The Prince of Scots, ‘The Lyon’, supported by the Lyonic Council and Society Committee. We are now seeking a dedicated and trustworthy volunteer to serve as Treasurer of the Lyonic Scots Society.

The Role

As Treasurer, you will play a vital role in overseeing the Society’s financial responsibilities, ensuring transparency, accountability, and good governance as we expand our activities and global reach. This is a remote volunteer position requiring 4–8 hours per month, ideal for someone who values heritage, community leadership, and helping shape a unique organisation with deep historical roots.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate financial records for the Society

• Oversee budgeting, financial planning, and expenditure tracking

• Provide clear financial reports to the Chair, Vice Chair, and the Prince of Scots

• Support the committee in making informed financial decisions

• Ensure compliance with relevant charity or community‑group financial standards

• Help develop sustainable financial practices as we grow globally

• Advise on fundraising, membership fees, and long‑term financial strategy

Who We’re Looking For

You do not need Scottish ancestry — only integrity, reliability, and a willingness to support our mission. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, especially those who are:

• Experienced in bookkeeping, finance, accounting, or charity treasury roles

• Organised, detail‑focused, and confident with numbers

• Comfortable working remotely and communicating clearly

• Interested in Scottish culture, clans, or heritage

• Motivated by helping a historic community grow into a global movement

Experience with charity or community‑group finances is helpful but not essential if you have relevant transferable skills.

Why Join Us?

• Play a key role in safeguarding and supporting a Society with nearly 280 years of heritage

• Help guide our transformation into a global micronation‑style community

• Gain meaningful experience in charity finance and governance

• Work alongside passionate volunteers and heritage enthusiasts

• Contribute to preserving and reviving a community born in one of Scotland’s most significant historical moments

Time Commitment

4–8 hours per month, flexible, remote. Meetings are held online.
