This position places you at the financial heart of a consumer electronics distribution network that moves imaging and printing hardware across African markets under the strategic direction of Asian-based leadership. Day to day, you will steer cash flow, protect margins, prepare IFRS-compliant reports, and translate operational performance into board-ready intelligence. Your work directly determines whether regional distribution runs profitably, stays compliant across borders, and scales without financial friction.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the finance bridge between Asian executive stakeholders and African operating teams, translating regional performance data into strategic decisions that align with group objectives.
• Own the annual budget cycle, quarterly rolling forecasts, and multi-market resource allocation, ensuring targets are realistic, measurable, and tied to liquidity.
• Manage the full treasury function, including cash conversion cycles, inter-company settlements, and working capital lines that support high-volume distribution schedules.
• Monitor and mitigate multi-currency exposure by supervising foreign exchange positions, transfer pricing policies, and trade flow documentation.
• Oversee statutory reporting for monthly, quarterly, and year-end close, in strict adherence to IFRS and local regulatory frameworks across all operating jurisdictions.
• Maintain a disciplined tax compliance posture covering VAT, withholding tax, corporate income tax, and transfer pricing records, and coordinate external audits and tax advisory reviews.
• Champion ERP systems upgrades and accounting automation, while re-engineering reporting workflows so finance can scale alongside market expansion.
• Analyze product-line profitability, channel margins, and distributor performance to reveal cost optimisation opportunities and pricing recommendations.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related quantitative field; CPA(K), ACCA, or equivalent internationally recognised certification is mandatory.
• Minimum 5 years of progressive finance experience, including at least 2 years in a senior leadership or management role with direct responsibility for financial control.
• Proven history working with cross-border commercial teams, ideally liaising between Asian and African operations or supporting multi-regional headquarters structures.
• Advanced technical proficiency in financial modeling, multi-currency accounting, and ERP platforms such as SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite.
• Deep working knowledge of IFRS reporting standards, statutory audit processes, and East African tax obligations including VAT, withholding tax, and corporate income tax.
• Strong interpersonal agility to manage diverse international stakeholders, with demonstrable integrity and objectivity in financial governance.
• Strategic mindset comfortable with distilling complex financial datasets into concise, actionable recommendations for executive decision-making.
