The ideal candidate has practical experience in financial services, mobile money, telecom, PSP or payment-related operations; cross-border payment experience is an added advantage.

• Communicate with banks, mobile money operators, payment partners and the KRA when required.
• Follow up monthly collection details, settlement reports, VAT invoices and supporting documents.
• Calculate payroll and handle statutory payments such as social security, health insurance, payroll taxes, VAT and other government fees.
• Support tax compliance and make sure statutory filings and payments are completed on time.
• Handle other finance-related duties as required by the company.

Required profile

• 5+ years of relevant finance experience.
• Experience in a financial institution, mobile money operator, telecom operator, PSP or payment-related company.
• Good understanding of mobile payment-related taxes and general corporate tax obligations.
• Familiarity with KRA communication, government payment deadlines, statutory filing dates and compliance requirements.
• Strong communication skills when dealing with banks, operators, the KRA and external partners.
• Strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail and excellent time management.
