About This Role
This is a hands-on accounting position within a small import-export operation, where the finance function is likely lean and the person in this seat touches everything from daily bookkeeping to tax filings. The "Senior" title here is somewhat generous relative to the 1–3 year experience band, suggesting the company wants someone who can work with minimal supervision rather than someone stepping into a large, structured finance department. Import-export businesses in Ethiopia deal with customs payments, foreign currency transactions, and supplier relationships across borders, so expect the work to be more varied and less predictable than a typical in-house accounting role.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The emphasis on maintaining records, verifying documents, and following up on receivables and payables points to a role where accuracy and follow-through matter more than strategic analysis. The mention of accounting software as "preferred" rather than required, combined with the broad scope of duties, tells you this is a generalist position — the employer needs one person who can cover the full cycle rather than a specialist. The confidentiality clause and compliance language suggest the company handles sensitive commercial information and wants someone trustworthy with minimal oversight.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with concrete examples of transactions you have processed end-to-end — payment vouchers, reconciliations, tax filings — rather than listing duties from your CV. If you have any exposure to import-export accounting, customs documentation, or multi-currency transactions, make that visible early, as it will separate you from general accounting applicants. Since the salary is negotiable and the company is small, demonstrate that you are self-managing and can keep financial records audit-ready without being reminded.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited for an early-career accountant (1–3 years) who wants broad exposure in a private trading company and is comfortable working independently in a small team. Competition is likely moderate — the role will attract many junior accountants in Addis, so relevant software skills and any trade-sector experience will be the deciding factors.

- Prepare and maintain accurate financial records.
- Process and verify payments, receipts, and supporting documents.
