General Ledger, Payroll, Tax and Compliance Accountant
Earth Core Trading PLCAbout This Role
This is a hands-on accounting position at a young but already diversified Ethiopian trading company that spans import/export, agriculture, and mining. The title alone signals that you would be the accounting backbone for a multi-sector operation—maintaining the general ledger, running payroll, and keeping the company compliant with Ethiopian tax law. It suits someone who has outgrown a narrow accounting role and wants broader ownership of the finance function in a growing private enterprise.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The 3–5 year seniority band tells you the company wants someone who can operate without close supervision but is still hands-on enough to do the transactional work themselves. The combined GL, payroll, tax, and compliance scope implies a small finance team where one person covers multiple functions rather than a large department with specialists. The diversified business lines also suggest the employer values adaptability—you may be handling import-related tax issues one day and payroll reconciliation the next.
How to Approach This Application
Emphasize your direct experience with Ethiopian tax compliance specifically—VAT declarations, withholding tax, and payroll-related obligations like pension and income tax—since the role demands it explicitly. Show that you have managed a full ledger cycle independently, not just assisted, and mention any experience with multiple business entities or sectors. The company's rapid evolution from a legacy import business into a diversified PLC suggests they value candidates who can build processes rather than just follow existing ones.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited for an Ethiopian accountant with 3–5 years of hands-on experience who wants broad finance responsibility in a growing private company. Expect moderate competition—the multi-functional scope will attract candidates with generalist accounting backgrounds.
