About This Role
This position sits at the intersection of accounting and international trade, requiring someone who can track and reconcile the true cost of imported goods from purchase order through to final landed cost. At Earth Core Trading, a relatively young but diversified company building on the legacy of Teseme Import, you would be joining a business that spans multiple sectors yet depends heavily on import operations. The role suits an accountant who understands that import costing is not just bookkeeping — it directly affects pricing decisions and margin analysis for the entire trading operation.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The 3-5 year experience window signals the company wants someone who has already handled the complexities of import documentation, foreign currency transactions, and landed cost calculations without needing close supervision. This is not a training role — they need a professional who can independently navigate customs duties, freight charges, and supplier payment terms while maintaining accurate cost records. The emphasis on import costing specifically suggests they have faced challenges with cost allocation or margin visibility in the past and want someone to bring structure to that process.
How to Approach This Application
Highlight any direct experience with import/export accounting, letter of credit handling, or landed cost computation — these are the specifics that will separate you from general accountants applying. If you have worked with customs documentation, clearing agent coordination, or foreign supplier reconciliation, make those experiences prominent rather than burying them in a general work history. The company's diverse operations mean they likely value someone adaptable, so briefly showing exposure to multiple business environments will work in your favor.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a mid-career accountant who has spent meaningful time in trading, import, or logistics companies and understands the practical realities of Ethiopian import processes. Given the specialized nature of import costing and the company's growth trajectory, competition will be moderate — those with direct sector experience will have a clear advantage.
