We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Accountant / Supply Chain Officer

Location: Ilupeju, Lagos
Employment Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Department: Finance & Supply Chain
Reports To: Finance Manager / Financial Controller
Dotted Line: Supply Chain / Procurement Manager
Industry: Construction / Operational Services

​About the Role

• ​Are you a detail-oriented finance professional who loves to see the operational impact of your numbers? Do you excel at maintaining bulletproof financial controls while optimizing vendor workflows?
• ​We are seeking a versatile Accountant / Supply Chain Officer to join our team in a dynamic hybrid role. This unique position splits your expertise between core Accounting & Financial Management (~70%) and Supply Chain Coordination (~30%). Serving as the crucial link between our Finance and Operations teams, you will embed robust financial controls at every stage of our procurement-to-payment cycle—ensuring accuracy from the initial quote to the final statutory remittance.

​Key Responsibilities
​Financial & Accounting Management (~70%):

• ​Financial Reporting: Maintain the general ledger and prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in compliance with IFRS and Nigerian GAAP.
• ​Accounts Payable & Receivable: Process supplier invoices, manage weekly bank reconciliations, maintain creditor/debtor aging reports, and drive proactive collections.
• ​Tax & Statutory Compliance: Prepare and file VAT, WHT, PAYE, and statutory deductions (ITF, NSITF, NHF, pension) strictly within FIRS and local regulatory deadlines.
• ​Audit & Cost Control: Support the annual external audit process by preparing schedules and audit-ready records. Monitor actual expenditure against budgets to identify cost-saving opportunities.

​Supply Chain Coordination (~30%):

• ​Procurement Support: Gather competitive supplier quotations, prepare comparative analyses, issue purchase orders, and maintain our approved vendor database.
• ​Inventory & Stock Control: Coordinate with the warehouse team to manage optimal inventory levels, reconcile physical stock counts against system records, and analyze slow-moving stock.
• ​Vendor & Logistics Management: Complete due diligence onboarding checks, monitor vendor performance scorecards, and track inbound freight/logistics costs.
• ​Financial Controls: Enforce a strict three-way matching process (Purchase Order, Goods Received Note, and Supplier Invoice) before any payment is authorized.

​First 90-Day Priorities

• ​Reconcile outstanding balances and complete a full review of aging reports.
• ​Map the existing procurement-to-payment workflow to identify control gaps or inefficiencies.
• ​Establish and refine an up-to-date vendor database with verified compliance documents.
• ​Prepare your first monthly management accounts pack independently.

​What We Are Looking For (Person Specification)
​Qualifications:

• ​Essential: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a related discipline.
• ​Essential: Active pursuit or completion of a professional accounting certification (ACA/ICAN, ACCA, or equivalent).
• ​Desirable: Professional certification in Supply Chain Management (e.g., CIPS, CSCP, CPSM).

​Experience & Skills:

• ​3–5 years of post-qualification accounting experience, ideally featuring explicit exposure to procurement or inventory functions.
• ​Solid, hands-on experience handling Nigerian tax compliance (VAT, WHT, PAYE, CIT returns).
• ​Strong proficiency in ERP or accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, SAP, Odoo) alongside advanced Microsoft Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, data analysis).
• ​Strong negotiation skills and a confident communication style to handle supplier disputes and collaborate across departments.
• ​Asset: Prior background working within the construction sector or participating in a system migration project.

​Working Conditions:

• ​Standard hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, with seasonal flexibility required for month-end closes and audit periods.
• ​Primarily office-based with occasional, purposeful visits to local warehouses, banks, or supplier premises.

​Pre-Employment Requirements:

• ​Satisfactory background and reference checks (minimum of two professional references).
• ​Verification of all academic qualifications and active professional certification status (ICAN/ACCA).
• ​A valid means of identification.

Salary
N300,000 - N350,000 / month.
