Openings: 4 positions Location: Nairobi – Industrial Area Overview: Accounts Payable keeps the cash flowing and vendors happy, but it’s more than pushing buttons in a system. You’ll own invoice integrity from PO to GRN to payment, making sure every number matches and nothing slips through the cracks. Accuracy and timing are everything vendors notice, and errors cost. You’ll partner with procurement and warehouse teams to resolve price or quantity discrepancies, learning how operational details ripple through the books. Each reconciliation, each payment run is a chance to see the bigger financial picture and understand controls in action. The inbox never sleeps, and neither can your attention to SLA commitments. Early escalation of disputes and consistent follow-up separate good AP officers from great ones. You’ll track closures, maintain documentation, and keep everything auditable. Month-end cycles bring pressure and learning. Accruals, schedules, and reporting teach rhythm, prioritization, and how accurate AP data drives management decisions. You’ll get hands-on exposure to ERP systems while mastering spreadsheet discipline.
