About This Role
This is a hands-on bookkeeping and accounts role within a private trading company, where you would likely manage day-to-day financial records, reconciliations, and reporting for a business that moves goods. Trading firms tend to have high transaction volumes and tight margins, so the accountant here is a control point — catching errors, keeping records clean, and supporting management decisions. It suits someone in the early stage of their accounting career who wants broad exposure rather than a narrow, specialized function.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The emphasis on Peachtree and Excel signals that this is a production-oriented role: you will be expected to enter, verify, and manipulate financial data daily, not just review it conceptually. Asking for "sufficient experience in a similar position" rather than naming a credential suggests the employer values demonstrated ability to run a full accounting cycle independently over formal certification alone. The request for two hires at junior level points to a team being built or expanded — meaning structure may still be forming and the successful candidate should be comfortable with some ambiguity.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with concrete evidence of Peachtree use — describe the types of transactions or reports you handled, not just that you "know" the software. Because applications go to a general email address and can be submitted in person, presentation matters: a clean, well-organized PDF bundle sent early in the 10-day window will stand out. Address your application to the company properly and keep your CV focused on accounting duties you personally performed.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited to an accounting graduate or diploma holder with one to three years of practical bookkeeping experience in a commercial environment, ideally in trading or retail. Expect moderate competition — junior accounting roles in Addis attract many applicants, but demonstrated Peachtree proficiency narrows the field considerably.
