Job Description:

We are seeking a high-precision Junior Accountant to support the core financial engine of our Oil & Gas operations. In the energy sector, financial integrity is built on the rigorous tracking of CAPEX and OPEX. This role is designed for a Chartered Accountant (ACA) who combines technical accounting depth with a "compliance-first" mindset.

Your mission is to maintain the pulse of our fiscal health—from managing the general ledger and complex intercompany reconciliations to ensuring 100% accuracy in Nigerian statutory tax remittances. You will play a critical role in cost control and audit readiness within a structured, IFRS-compliant environment. If you possess the forensic detail required for oil and gas accounting and the professional discipline of a chartered professional, we want you on our team.

Requirements:

1. General Ledger & Reporting Integrity

• Ledger Governance: Maintain accurate general ledger accounts and post high-volume journal entries with "Zero-Error" precision.

• Management Reporting: Prepare monthly management accounts and supporting schedules that provide leadership with a transparent view of operational performance.

• IFRS Compliance: Ensure all financial records and reporting structures align with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Nigerian financial regulations.

2. Cost Control & Operational Analysis

• Expenditure Monitoring: Track and monitor operational expenses (OPEX) and capital expenditures (CAPEX) to ensure alignment with project budgets.

• Variance Analysis: Assist in budget preparation and perform detailed variance analysis to identify and explain deviations from financial forecasts.

• Reconciliation Mastery: Perform complex bank, vendor, and intercompany reconciliations to ensure the integrity of the balance sheet.

3. Taxation & Audit Stewardship

• Statutory Remittance: Compute and process VAT, WHT, PAYE, and other Nigerian statutory remittances via the relevant portals (FIRS/LIRS).

• Audit Facilitation: Support internal and external audit processes by providing forensic-ready documentation and acting as a technical resource for auditors.

• Internal Control: Maintain rigorous documentation in line with company policies to safeguard assets and prevent financial leakage.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Certification (MANDATORY): Must be an Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) with ICAN certification.

• Experience: Minimum of 4 years of progressive accounting experience, preferably within the Oil & Gas or energy services sector.

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.

Technical Competencies

• Software Mastery: High proficiency in ERP systems such as SAP, Sage, or QuickBooks.

• Advanced Excel: Expert ability in data modeling, VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, and financial functions.
