Quite understandable.

That's good news. My preference would be to have read-only access, and having an
accountant that manages the account and does the payments and the reports. I'm happy
to deal with sponsors (and I think we should have a single contact point for sponsors
and donors).
Tim offered to help with this: Tim, is your offer still valid?

All the best, and thanks again.
