About This Role
This is a hands-on bookkeeping and transaction-management position within a consulting firm, where you would be the operational backbone of day-to-day finance rather than a strategic analyst. FIRMA Consulting operates in a professional services environment, which means financial records need to be precise and audit-ready at all times. The role suits someone who genuinely enjoys the discipline of keeping clean books and reconciling accounts, not someone looking to move into high-level financial strategy quickly.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The experience threshold and software expectations signal that FIRMA needs someone who can step in without a training ramp — they want a person who has already developed muscle memory for Peachtree and understands Ethiopian banking procedures from direct practice. The emphasis on organization and responsibility suggests this is a solo or near-solo finance function, meaning there will be limited backup when you are out. The gender specification in the listing is explicit, so the employer has a defined candidate profile in mind and will likely screen accordingly.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with concrete evidence of your Peachtree proficiency — mention specific tasks you handled such as posting journals, running reconciliations, or generating reports, because vague claims of "familiarity" will not stand out. Highlight any experience managing payables and receivables independently, since the role implies you will own these processes end to end. If you have worked in a consulting or professional services firm before, make that visible early — it tells them you understand the pace and documentation standards of that environment.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited for a mid-career accountant with three to five years of hands-on general ledger experience who wants stability in a structured office setting; competition is likely moderate, as the pool of experienced female accountants proficient in Peachtree in Addis is sizeable but not overwhelming.
