Accountant

Role Overview

This Accountant role keeps the financial engine of the business running cleanly day to day — issuing invoices, chasing collections, paying suppliers, and making sure every ledger tells the same story. Reporting to the Senior Accountant, you will alternate between routine cycles such as month-end close and more investigative work: untangling partner and third-party seller transactions, tracking margins, and keeping documentation audit-ready. Because the business handles partner and third-party seller activity alongside its core trading operations, your accuracy has a direct effect on cash flow, supplier relationships, and the confidence leadership places in reported numbers.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the full billing and payment cycle, from raising customer invoices and following up on overdue balances through scheduling and executing vendor payments.
• Reconcile customer, supplier, and partner accounts on a regular cadence, digging into mismatches until they are corrected rather than simply logged.
• Keep accounts receivable and accounts payable ledgers accurate, current, and easy to review at any point in the month.
• Contribute to month-end close by preparing entries, clearing reconciling items, and helping the Senior Accountant hit reporting deadlines.
• Reconcile third-party seller (3PS) and partner transactions, maintain partner payment details, track incoming settlements, and support the preparation of partner reports and payouts.
• Collect pricing data from multiple market sources, analyse margins, and flag variances or emerging trends that shape pricing and procurement decisions.
• Maintain audit-ready financial records, assist with internal and external audits, and ensure filings and documentation align with tax regulations and accounting standards.
• Handle petty cash reconciliation, including documenting transactions and resolving discrepancies promptly.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related discipline.
• CPA qualification at intermediate level or higher.
• At least three years in a finance role, ideally within FMCG, retail, or another high-volume commercial setting.
• Practical experience with QuickBooks, plus strong Excel and data analysis capability.
• Solid grounding in accounting principles and tax processes.
• Analytical mindset with the problem-solving skills to trace discrepancies to their source.
• Strong attention to detail and organisation, with the ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping accuracy.
• Clear communication and interpersonal skills for working with colleagues, vendors, and partners.
• High integrity and a demonstrated ability to handle confidential financial information.
• Takes initiative and works with a strong sense of personal accountability.
• Background in e-commerce, retail, or startup settings is a plus.
