ACCOUNTANT AT HOP MOBILE TRANSPORT LIMITED | ACCOUNTANT JOBS IN LAGOS

About Company:

HOP Mobile Transport Limited is a technology-driven mobility platform that connects passengers, businesses, and delivery services with reliable transportation solutions. Founded 5 years ago, we have quickly become a trusted name in urban mobility, offering safe, affordable, and seamless travel experiences.

Job Description:

We are seeking a meticulous and analytically-driven Accountant to join our team in Lagos. This is not a traditional bookkeeping role; it is a high-tempo position designed for a professional who can master the financial complexities of the ride-hailing and logistics industry.

You will be responsible for the end-to-end financial integrity of our fleet operations, ensuring that thousands of daily transactions—from rider payments to driver commissions—are reconciled with surgical precision. If you are an Excel power-user with a background in digital payment systems and a keen eye for cost analysis, you will play a critical role in steering our company's growth and operational transparency.

Requirements:

1. High-Volume Transaction & Revenue Governance

• Dynamic Reconciliation: Reconcile daily transactions between ride-hailing platforms, driver payment systems, and bank records to ensure zero leakages.

• Fleet Ledger Management: Maintain and update the general ledger, specifically tracking accounts related to logistics, fuel, maintenance, and fleet payroll.

• Real-Time Tracking: Record and monitor all operational inflows and outflows, including driver payouts, platform commissions, and third-party logistics costs.

2. Financial Reporting & Strategic Analysis

• Statement Preparation: Own the month-end close process, preparing comprehensive P&L, Balance Sheets, and Cash Flow statements.

• Operational Insights: Monitor revenue trends and operational costs, generating data-driven reports that help the operations team optimize driver performance and fleet efficiency.

• Budgetary Control: Assist leadership in budgeting and forecasting, using cost analysis to identify opportunities for expense reduction.

3. Compliance & Statutory Management

• Tax Integrity: Handle precise calculations and timely filings for VAT, PAYE, and Company Income Tax (CIT) to ensure 100% statutory compliance.

• Audit Leadership: Liaise with external auditors and tax consultants, ensuring all financial records are audit-ready and transparent.

• Software Stewardship: Utilize QuickBooks, Zoho Books, or ERP systems alongside internal dashboards to maintain a "source of truth" for the organization.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Education: BA/BSc/HND in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

• Experience: 3–6 years of progressive experience in accounting (Experience in Ride-hailing, Transport, or Fintech is a significant advantage).

• Technical Mastery: High proficiency in Microsoft Excel (VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, Financial Modeling) and accounting software like QuickBooks or Zoho Books.

Core Competencies

• Analytical Rigor: Ability to spot trends and anomalies in large datasets.

• Organizational Skills: Exceptional attention to detail in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

• Regulatory Knowledge: Solid understanding of Nigerian tax laws and IFRS standards.
