Accountant

Role Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented and commercially aware Accountant to support the finance function by working closely with the Senior Accountant and Bookkeeper. This role is hands-on and operational, requiring ownership of day-to-day accounting activities, accurate financial reporting, and system discipline across accounting platforms (e.g., Odoo, Oracle, or similar ERP systems).

This is not a passive reporting role — you are expected to understand the numbers, spot issues early, and maintain clean, audit-ready records at all times.

Key Responsibilities

Day-to-Day Accounting Operations

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date financial records across all transactions
• Record, classify, and reconcile daily financial activity (sales, expenses, bank movements)
• Perform bank, supplier, and customer reconciliations regularly
• Monitor accounts payable and receivable, ensuring timely collections and payments
• Process invoices, expense claims, and payment runs

Financial Control & Reporting

• Assist in preparing monthly management accounts and financial reports
• Support the Senior Accountant in closing monthly and yearly accounts
• Identify discrepancies, investigate variances, and resolve issues proactively
• Ensure compliance with internal controls and accounting policies

ERP / Systems Management

• Operate and maintain accounting data within ERP systems (e.g., Odoo, Oracle, SAP, or similar)
• Ensure accurate data entry and system integrity across all modules
• Support system improvements, automation, and reporting enhancements
• Work with internal teams to ensure correct financial data flow into the system

Compliance & Audit Support

• Ensure compliance with local regulations, tax requirements, and company policies
• Assist with VAT filings, corporate tax documentation, and regulatory reporting
• Prepare supporting schedules and documentation for audits

Collaboration & Process Improvement

• Work closely with the Senior Accountant and Bookkeeper to streamline workflows
• Coordinate with operations, procurement, and sales teams to ensure financial accuracy
• Continuously identify inefficiencies and propose improvements

Experience

• 2–5 years of accounting experience in a structured environment
• Experience working in a fast-paced, multi-entity or trading business is a strong advantage

Profile

• Detail-oriented but commercially aware (you understand what numbers actually mean)
• High level of accuracy and accountability
• Able to work independently while coordinating with a broader finance team
• Organized, disciplined, and capable of handling multiple priorities

What Good Looks Like in This Role

• Books are always clean, reconciled, and audit-ready
• Issues are flagged early — not discovered at month-end
• Minimal supervision required after onboarding
• Systems are used properly, not bypassed with manual fixes
