Use Excel/Google Sheets and ERP systems to record transactions, organize data and support reporting.

Liaise with clients, suppliers and internal teams to resolve finance queries promptly.

Flex across finance tasks as workload demands, including covering urgent requests during month-end, campaign peaks and event periods.

Assist with ad-hoc finance tasks and presentations as required.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field, with a minimum of Second Class Honours (Upper Division).

Minimum grade of B+ and above in Mathematics.

CPA Part 2 passed at minimum (candidates with higher CPA sections are encouraged to apply).

Hands-on experience in accounts receivable, reconciliations and basic financial reporting.

Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and/or Google Sheets.

Experience with ERP or accounting software (e.g. QuickBooks) is a must.

Working knowledge of Kenyan tax concepts (VAT, PAYE, WHT) and eTIMS.

Flexible and adaptable: comfortable switching between tasks and priorities, and willing to adjust working hours when business needs require (e.g. month-end or event deadlines).

Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and integrity.

Strong verbal and written communication skills, including professional client follow-up.

Ability to manage multiple tasks independently, meet deadlines and work as part of a team.

Ability to start immediately is an added advantage.

What We Offer

A full-time, 3-month contract in a fast-paced and exciting agency environment.
