Accountant II

Role Overview

This role sits at the intersection of receivables, inventory, and retail finance, where you will handle daily reconciliations, cash flow monitoring, and credit control to keep transactions accurate and compliant. Your work directly supports the company's financial health by catching discrepancies early, preparing reliable performance reports, and maintaining smooth treasury operations. Expect a mix of hands-on data entry, analysis, and stakeholder follow-up that keeps the finance cycle running without delays.

Key Responsibilities

• Verify and reconcile all company transactions daily, resolving mismatches between systems, invoices, and bank statements before they escalate.
• Produce periodic financial summaries – including receivables aging, inventory variance, and retail sales performance – for management review.
• Support treasury tasks such as cash positioning, bank reconciliations, and monitoring fund transfers to ensure sufficient liquidity.
• Track inventory movements, count stock physically when needed, and reconcile system quantities against warehouse records to flag discrepancies.
• Manage credit control by reviewing customer credit limits, chasing overdue invoices, and negotiating payment plans while enforcing company credit policy.
• Record incoming payments from customers and third parties, allocate them correctly to open invoices, and follow up on any unmatched or unapplied cash.
• Prepare audit-ready schedules and reconciliations for both internal reviews and external auditors, ensuring all supporting documents are organised and traceable.
• Respond to queries from sales teams, customers, and suppliers about account balances, payment status, and inventory availability within agreed service levels.
• Monitor adherence to internal financial controls and statutory regulations, flagging any deviations to the supervisor for immediate corrective action.

Requirements & Qualifications

• 2–3 years of hands-on accounting experience, ideally covering receivables, inventory reconciliation, or retail finance.
• Minimum KCSE grade B+ or equivalent.
• Bachelor’s degree (Second Class Upper or better) in Finance, Accounting, or Statistics.
• At least CPA Level 2 or ACCA Level 2 (or equivalent progress toward full qualification).
• SAP proficiency is a strong plus; prior work in the oil and gas industry will set you apart.
