About This Role
This position sits within a conglomerate that spans trading, manufacturing, real estate, and hospitality — meaning the accountant here touches multiple business lines rather than a single set of books. You would be the person ensuring that financial reporting stays accurate and timely across these varied operations, which demands comfort with complexity. It suits someone who has already managed full-cycle accounting in a multi-entity environment and wants exposure to a group-level finance function.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The seniority tag combined with the scope of responsibilities signals that Hosea is looking for someone who can operate with minimal supervision — a self-managing professional rather than a task-executor. The emphasis on import-export transactions suggests the ideal candidate understands foreign currency dealings, customs documentation, and the reporting quirks that come with cross-border trade. This is not an entry-to-mid role dressed up with a senior title; the employer expects demonstrated ownership of the entire reporting calendar.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should lead with concrete examples of financial statements you have prepared and the deadlines you met, because this employer is clearly deadline-sensitive. If you have any experience with import-export accounting or multi-company consolidation, make that visible early — it is likely a differentiator among applicants. References or a brief note on the accounting software you use can also help, since a conglomerate of this size probably runs a centralized ERP system.
Who This Role Suits
This role best fits an accountant with five or more years of hands-on experience in a trading, manufacturing, or group-company setting who is ready to step into a more visible position. Given Addis Ababa's competitive finance job market and the group's prominent local profile, expect a healthy pool of qualified applicants.
Hosea Corporate Group, a dynamic conglomerate headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, stands as a testament to the power of vision and diversification. Established with a core principle of excellence, Hosea Corporate Group has grown into a multifaceted entity, encompassing a diverse range of industries under its umbrella. From the bustling trade floors of Hosea Trading House in its real-estate, import-export and manufacturing arms and the warm hospitality of its ventures in Capital Hotel & Spa, Hosea Corporate Group has etched its name as a prominent player in Ethiopia's economic landscape.
