Finance & Operations Associate

Mwangaza Capital is a small investment advisory firm of 19 people working with savings groups, cooperatives and family businesses across Nairobi and the Mount Kenya region. The operations team keeps the firm running day to day: supplier payments, client reporting, compliance paperwork and the monthly close.

This role reports to the Finance Manager and owns the routine that everything else depends on. You will reconcile bank statements weekly, prepare the reporting pack that goes to the partners, and act as the first point of contact for suppliers and service providers. The firm is partway through moving its bookkeeping off spreadsheets, so there is real scope to improve how the work is done rather than only maintain it.

We are looking for someone precise, comfortable asking questions, and happy to work with numbers all day. Accounting training is useful but not essential; what matters is that you can explain a variance clearly and that your work is easy for someone else to check.
