Responsibilities

• Manage accounts payable and receivable, ensuring accuracy and timely processing
• Prepare monthly management accounts and financial reports

• Analyze financial data to identify cost inefficiencies and bring forward concrete recommendations
• Develop and implement strategies to improve collections and reduce outstanding receivables
• Proactively identify opportunities to streamline processes and reduce overhead

How You Work

• You do not wait to be told what needs fixing. You find it and you address it.
• You bring solutions, not just observations.
• You get the details right, every time, without being reminded.
• You are comfortable owning a function without close supervision.
• You communicate clearly with non-finance colleagues and leadership.
• You understand that good accounting is a strategic tool, not just a compliance requirement.

• Strong working knowledge of Tanzanian tax law and TRA requirements
• Experience with at least one ERP or accounting platform (e.g., QuickBooks)
