Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is seeking an Accountant for a recently awarded 5-year USAID supply chain and pharmaceutical management project in Ethiopia. The purpose is to provide comprehensive technical assistance to strengthen the health supply chain and pharmaceutical services in select geographic areas in Ethiopia, both of which are cornerstones to achieving critical life-saving priorities.

MSH is a mission-driven, global nonprofit advisory organization that provides governments, health organizations, and the private sector with the strategies, tools, and management support to deliver high-functioning health systems effectively and efficiently.

Working shoulder-to-shoulder with countries and communities, MSH helps to save lives and improve the health of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people by building strong, resilient, sustainable health systems.

The Accountant will be responsible for assisting the Director of Finance and Administration with safeguarding the assets (financial and physical) of MSH and ultimately the U.S. Government or other donors against fraud, loss or misuse. The Accountant will be responsible for ensuring that any money expended in the Country is done by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, MSH policy, and any cost principles imposed by the donor agency. The Accountant is primarily responsible for, but is not limited to, preparing payment vouchers, ensuring proper record keeping, activity advance reconciliations, and supporting the Director of Finance and Administration in VAT, WHT, and other relevant Tax reporting. The Accountant is aware of and adheres to MSH’s procurement integrity standards in all activities.
