Junior Accountant - Balezaf alcohol and liquors factory plc
Talent Search - EthiojobsAbout This Role
This is a hands-on accounting role within a growing manufacturing company in Ethiopia’s beverage sector. It suits early-career finance professionals who want to build a strong technical foundation in both general ledger work and compliance — not just data entry. Working at Balezaf means you’ll be exposed to the unique financial rhythms of a production environment, where inventory, cost of goods, and excise tax all play a central role.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The posting calls for 1–3 years of experience, but the real signal is that the employer wants someone who already understands how a factory’s finances differ from a service business. They are not looking for a fresh graduate — they want someone who has reconciled accounts, processed payables and receivables, and can handle the pressure of monthly closing cycles. Familiarity with GAAP and IFRS is not optional; it is central to how they expect you to think from day one.
How to Approach This Application
Highlight your direct experience with general ledger reconciliation and any exposure to inventory accounting or cost tracking, even if brief. If you have worked with ERP systems or accounting software used in manufacturing, mention it clearly. The employer will also value your ability to support an audit process, so emphasize any past involvement in preparing documentation for auditors. Tailor your cover letter to show you understand the compliance demands of the alcohol and beverage industry in Ethiopia.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for an accountant with 1–2 years of solid experience in a structured finance team, ideally in manufacturing or FMCG. It is moderately competitive — the clarity of your accounting knowledge and your readiness to work in a regulated production environment will set you apart.
