- Maintain strong internal controls, with special focus on inventory, cash handling, and supplier payments.
- Ensure compliance with internal policies, Kenyan tax laws, and accounting standards.
- Champion process improvements and digital tools to streamline operations and reduce manual work.
- Collaborate with central finance to standardise reporting and improve the quality of financial data.
- Build financial literacy across lodge teams by training and supporting non-finance colleagues.
- Promote financial transparency and a culture of accountability across departments.
Key Qualities of the Successful Candidate
- Strong commercial acumen and strategic thinking.
- A natural collaborator who builds trust and communicates clearly.
- Highly organised and detail-oriented, yet able to zoom out for the bigger picture.
- Hands-on and pragmatic, especially in a lodge setting.
- Calm under pressure and responsive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
- Deeply aligned with Angama’s values: ubuntu, respect, honesty, courage, and joy.
Key Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field (CPA or ACCA required).
- Minimum of 10 years’ experience in a senior finance role, with at least 5 years in hospitality, tourism, or an operational environment.
