Key Responsibilities

• Process basic payments accurately: prepare payment vouchers, verify supporting documents, and keep every payment fully documented.

• Support daily data entry and transaction coding under the Accountant's guidance.

• File and archive financial documents so any record can be found in minutes, not hours.

• Support petty cash handling, bank errands, and monthly reconciliations.

• Assist with inventory counts, attendance data, and report preparation as needed.

What Success Looks Like (Our Expectations)

• Every payment you process has a complete, approved voucher with supporting documents attached - no exceptions.

• Your entries are accurate the first time; errors are rare, and when they happen you flag them immediately.

• The filing system stays complete and current - 99%+ of records with full documentation.

• Within a year, you can independently handle the full payment cycle.

Job Requirements

Candidate Profile (What We Are Looking For)

We are looking for a Junior Accountant at the very start of their career - a fresh graduate or someone with up to a year of experience - who is accurate, honest, eager to learn, and ready to build a real accounting career under the guidance of our Accountant.

• Diploma or BA in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (required).

• Fresh graduate, or up to about 1 year of experience - this is deliberately a junior post. If you have more than 3 years of experience, please see our Accountant vacancy instead.

• Careful and precise - you notice when a number or a name is slightly off.

• Honest and trustworthy with cash and confidential information.

• Comfortable with Excel or Google Sheets; exposure to Peachtree or QuickBooks is a plus, not a requirement.

• Eager to learn - detail matters to us, so read the application form instructions carefully.

What We Offer

• A real career start: hands-on training and mentorship from our Accountant and Finance & Operations Head, with a clear growth path.

• Professional Growth: exposure to donor-funded projects, audit processes, system implementation, and real business acumen - you will see how a creative social enterprise is run end to end.

• A Mission-Driven Environment: your work directly supports Ethiopian children, families, and caregivers.

• Stability: a 1-year contract with a strong likelihood of extension based on performance.

• Competitive junior-level salary, plus an annual performance bonus.
