Job Description

Job Summary

We are recruiting for an experienced financial professional to strengthen the financial department of the main project office for a large-scale five-year program in Yirgacheffe. If you want to be a part of a project from its inception this is the opportune moment to join TechnoServe as we move to the next phase of impact within the Ethiopian coffee industry.

If you are a highly organized accounting professional, if you are motivated to improve financial systems and operations, and if you are passionate about creating positive impact and believe in the power of the private sector, then you may be exactly the person that we are looking for!

The role

In a nutshell, as the Accountant, you will contribute to the Regrow Yirga program’s deep impact by strengthening and using financial systems that support program activities. You will report directly to the Senior Finance Officer to provide accounting functions using sound financial practices and procedures. You will provide project backstopping to leadership and work with a range of TechnoServe teams to ensure high-quality results.

The Project

The project will help farmers boost productivity and expand trade. Specifically, the Regrow Yirga program seeks to serve 42,000+ farmers, 45+ processing businesses, and coffee industry service providers. The project will launch an innovative Farmer Stumping Fund which will facilitate direct incentive (tools or cash) transfers to farmers to encourage tree rejuvination which has the potential to be scaled up to over 1 million coffee farmers nation-wide.

This USD 15 million project finds its roots in TechnoServe’s 10+ years of experience working with the coffee farmers in Ethiopia. Our work was recently honored as the “Origin Charity of the Year” by the National Coffee Association – the leading trade organization for the coffee industry in the United States.

What we Offer

We offer competitive salaries and career growth opportunities. We offer online learning resources from top universities. We provide regular training to all our staff to equip you with the coffee-specific technical know-how for you to excel. We provide autonomy in your job and freedom to bring in new ideas and initiatives. You get to be part of a stellar team and shape the project from its inception. You will be challenged and grow as a professional. We offer a diverse team environment and highly encourage women and underrepresented groups to apply. And of course… we serve great coffee and host regular fun team activities.

Job Requirements

Our ideal candidate -

  • Has a Bachelor’s degree in accounting with at least three years of accounting experience, preferably with an international organization or business. 
  • Demonstrates sound knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and a sound knowledge of Ethiopia-specific accounting requirements and best practices.
  • Has excellent written and verbal English and Amharic skills.
  • Is a skilled user of Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint and accounting software.
  • Demonstrates excellent organization, efficiency, and teamwork.
  • Is passionate about creating a positive impact and believes in the power of the private sector; experience working in the private sector preferable.
  • Embraces our values of collegiality (we stick our necks out for each other), integrity (doing the ‘right thing’ regardless), resourcefulness (solve problems) and results (bias for action)
