We are currently seeking a dual-role professional who can manage both our financial records and daily office administration with high precision.

Job Description

We are looking for a Bookkeeper who is as comfortable with a balance sheet as they are with office management. This is a high-accountability role that requires a candidate with a strong “sanity-check” logic—someone who can spot errors in fuel reports or tax calculations immediately. The ideal candidate will have a mastery of Microsoft Excel and a proven background in Zambian statutory compliance.

• Manage daily bookkeeping entries.
• Maintain a comprehensive expense tracker, focusing on fuel consumption, truck maintenance, and driver acquittals.
• Perform monthly bank reconciliations and verify data integrity across all financial records.
• Monitor accounts payable and receivable, ensuring professional communication with vendors and clients.

2. Statutory Compliance:

• Prepare and file monthly ZRA returns (VAT, PAYE) via Tax Online.
• Calculate and ensure timely payment of NAPSA, NHIMA, and Workers’ Compensation.

3. Administrative Support:

• Provide comprehensive secretarial support, including scheduling, correspondence management, and professional filing.
• Maintain a digital and physical archive of all operational documents (invoices, receipts, and logbooks).
• Coordinate office logistics to support the management and operations teams.

Qualifications & Experience Required

• Experience: Minimum 3 years of professional experience in Bookkeeping or Accounts Administration.
• Education: Minimum Grade 12 Certificate with credit or better in Mathematics and English. A Diploma in Accountancy is highly preferred.
• Software Proficiency: ADVANCED Excel skills are mandatory. You must be proficient in VLOOKUP, SUMIF, IF Functions, and Pivot Tables.
• Attributes: Exceptional attention to detail, high ethical standards, and the ability to work under pressure to meet statutory deadlines (10th and 14th of the month).
• Residency: Strictly Ndola residents only. Applicants must be currently residing in Ndola to be considered for this role.
