About This Role
This is a foundational accounting role inside a manufacturing business, which means the numbers you handle will be tied to real operational activity — inventory, supplier payments, production costs — rather than abstract ledgers. Hilmen Aluminum operates in a sector where raw material costs, purchase orders, and vendor reconciliations are constant, so expect the work to be hands-on and deadline-driven around monthly closes. It suits someone early in their accounting career who wants to learn by doing across the full cycle rather than specialize narrowly.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The emphasis on data entry accuracy alongside reconciliation duties signals that this employer needs someone who can be trusted with repetitive, detail-heavy work without constant supervision — reliability matters more than advanced technical skill here. The mention of cross-functional collaboration hints that you will regularly interact with procurement, operations, and possibly warehouse staff, so comfort communicating beyond the finance team is quietly important. Overall, the profile is a dependable generalist with enough software familiarity to contribute from week one, not a specialist.
How to Approach This Application
Lean your CV toward any experience with bank reconciliations, invoice processing, or month-end support — even internship or coursework projects count if described concretely. If you have used QuickBooks or a similar platform, say so explicitly and note what you did with it, since the employer clearly wants someone who can operate without extensive software training. Given the manufacturing context, any exposure to inventory records or supplier accounts is worth highlighting, and a short cover note explaining why aluminum or manufacturing interests you will stand out.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited to a recent graduate or early-career accountant in Addis Ababa who wants broad exposure in an industrial setting and is willing to grow into the role. Expect moderate competition — junior accounting positions attract many applicants, but the manufacturing context narrows the pool of candidates who can speak to operational finance.

Perform daily data entry tasks to update and maintain accounting records.
Assist in reconciling bank statements and accounts payable/receivable.
Support month-end and year-end financial close processes.
Prepare and process invoices, expense reports, and purchase orders.
Assist in generating financial reports and statements.
Help ensure compliance with accounting policies and procedures.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve financial discrepancies.

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
Strong attention to detail and accuracy in data entry and record-keeping.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks).
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
Ability to work well in a team and meet deadlines.
