Financial Accountant – Accounts Payable Job at M-KOPA
M-KOPA
Job Description
You’re precise. You’re reliable. The AP ledger closes on time because of you, and the vendors trust that when they send an invoice, it will be handled correctly. You’ve built a reputation for accuracy in a function that most people only notice when something goes wrong.
But here’s the question worth sitting with: are you operating at the edge of what’s possible — or have you mastered your current environment so thoroughly that it’s starting to feel like routine?
The Financial Accountant – AP owns the full accounts payable cycle across both Ugandan entities. Not a slice of it. All of it — from inbox management and three-way matching through payment execution, bank reconciliations, treasury inputs, and month-end close. You’ll work directly with the Senior Financial Controller, giving you both clear ownership and a strong development relationship.
Duties, Roles and Responsibilities
- Day-to-day, you’re the first line of control on the AP cycle. You manage the invoice queue, enforce three-way matching, and resolve discrepancies directly with vendors or internal requestors — escalating only what genuinely requires it. You prepare the weekly vendor payment forecast and maintain a live tracker of outstanding obligations so the Senior Financial Controller always has a current, accurate picture.
- Month-end is where discipline shows. You own accruals for your assigned areas — proactively engaging cost centre managers ahead of close to surface unposted commitments before they become a problem. You don’t wait for information to come to you; you go and get it. Every balance sheet reconciliation — trade payables, accruals, prepayments — is resolved and clean before it goes upward for review.
- On the treasury side, you contribute AP and payment obligation inputs to the weekly Rolling Cash Forecast, reconcile bank accounts daily across both Uganda entities, and flag liquidity concerns early enough for action.
- And throughout all of it — including audit — your files are organised, your documentation is complete, and your controls are consistently applied. Audit-ready isn’t a once-a-year mode here; it’s simply how you work.
