• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Economics
• Experience at an audit firm is strongly preferred
• 4–6 years of audit or finance experience
• Strong understanding of the full accounting cycle and financial controls
• Experience in a production or operational environment is an advantage

Competencies

• Team player with experience guiding or supervising staff
• Hands-on, practical mindset
• Strong problem-solving skills
• “Can-do” mentality and ownership attitude
• Comfortable working independently in a dynamic environment
• Strong written and spoken English
• Structured, accurate, and deadline-oriented

What We Offer

• Salary: USD 600 per month, with growth opportunities based on performance
• A key finance role within an international impact-driven organization
• Direct reporting to Group CFO and close collaboration with the COO
• Exposure to international business and coffee production operations
• Opportunity to grow into a broader finance or leadership role within the FairChain Group
• Dynamic environment combining entrepreneurship, impact, and operational execution

Important

This role requires a hands-on finance professional who takes ownership, works independently, and actively supports the operational team. You will work in a growing production environment where flexibility, initiative, and problem-solving are essential.
