Assistant Manager – Finance & Accounts

Location: Nairobi, Kenya

Employment Type: Full-time
Reports to: Directors and CEO

About the Role

We’re growing, and you’ll help shape how we manage the money behind the movement. Own the books, keep cash flow in view, and turn the numbers into decisions that help the business move forward.

Expect start-up energy, hands-on responsibility, and room to make things work better. You’ll work closely with decision-makers, bring your ideas to the table, and see them put into practice. Initiative matters. So does knowing when to ask, “Hang on, does that add up?”

What You’ll Take Charge Of

●       Zoho Books, reconciliations, and timely month-end accounts.

●       Petty cash, payment controls, budgets, and expenditure tracking.

●       Daily cash visibility, reconciliations, and rolling cash-flow forecasts.

●       Corporate invoicing, customer statements, and collections.

●       Ledgers, trial balance, and profit and loss (P&L) reporting.

●       Tax and statutory compliance, including submissions through iTax and other relevant government portals.

●       Coordination with KRA, external accountants and auditors, banks, customers, and colleagues.

What You’ll Bring

●       At least five years of relevant experience.

●       A completed CPA(K), ACCA, or equivalent professional qualification.

●       Strong Excel skills and practical experience with Kenyan tax and statutory compliance.

●       Proficiency in accounting software; experience with Zoho Books is preferred.

●       A sense of ownership, professional follow-through, and the confidence to question an entry even when the spreadsheet looks perfectly respectable.
