Our focus is on delivering efficient, standardized, and review-ready financial files that meet Dutch regulatory requirements.

Your Role

As a Senior Accountant – Compilation & Reporting, you will work on-site in Nairobi as part of a dedicated team serving Dutch accounting firms.

Most assignments are compilation (non-audit) engagements based on accounting records that are already prepared and internally reviewed. Your role is to perform final checks, apply necessary adjustments, and prepare standardized financial statements, including abridged financial statements for statutory filing.

This is a production-oriented role in a structured, deadline-driven environment where you will work on multiple year-end files per week.

This position is ideal for audit professionals who want to apply their audit mindset in a practical, execution-focused environment and take ownership of delivering high-quality output efficiently and independently.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare abridged financial statements for statutory filing where required
  • Work within standardized reporting formats and templates
  • Deliver multiple year-end files within agreed timelines (high-volume environment)
  • Maintain clear, well-documented, review-ready files
  • Communicate professionally with Dutch accountants and FairChain WorkForce management

What You Bring

  • CPA-K (Finalist or qualified) – mandatory
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Economics
  • Minimum 4 years of audit experience in public practice – mandatory
  • Strong understanding of bookkeeping and the full accounting cycle
  • Experience with:
    • Audit execution and documentation
    • Year-end closing and financial reporting
    • Financial statements under IFRS
  • Ability to work efficiently within standardized processes and templates
  • Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
  • Strong focus on productivity, deadlines, and consistent output quality
  • Practical mindset: able to balance accuracy with efficiency
  • Proactive learning attitude and willingness to quickly build expertise in Dutch GAAP (RJ)
  • Experience with Dutch clients or Dutch GAAP is a strong advantage
  • Experience with cloud accounting systems (e.g., Exact Online, QuickBooks, Xero or similar); experience with Exact Online is a strong advantage
  • Advanced Excel skills
  • Excellent written and spoken English
  • Highly structured, detail-oriented, and self-driven

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary (USD 800 – 1,000 per month)
  • On-site role in a professional and growing Nairobi office
  • Direct exposure to Dutch accounting firms and international clients
  • Structured training and internal support on Dutch GAAP, systems, and client requirements
  • A performance-oriented environment where ownership, initiative, and continuous improvement are expected
  • Long-term career opportunities within FairChain WorkForce
  • Supportive local leadership and strong international team culture
  • Fair, transparent, and inclusive employment conditions

Important

This role requires a hands-on, execution-focused professional who takes responsibility for learning quickly, working independently, and delivering consistent output.

You will handle multiple client files at the same time. This role requires strong planning, full ownership of deadlines, and a proactive approach to continuously improving speed and efficiency.
