Job summary
The Junior Accountant supports the Finance function with day-to-day bookkeeping, transaction processing, and financial record-keeping, and coordinates the company's procurement of goods and services not covered under EAA's centralized order procurement. This is a hybrid role suited to someone with a genuine accounting foundation and a practical, cost-conscious approach to purchasing. Procurement is carried out within a defined approval framework: the role sources, prepares, and raises purchase orders for authorization, but does not approve its own orders or payments. Strong working proficiency in cloud accounting software (Xero) and the Microsoft Suite (particularly Excel) is essential, as most day-to-day processing and reporting will run through these tools. The role reports directly to the Finance Manager, with a dotted line (indirect report) to the Assistant Audit Manager.

Job descriptions &
in an accounting and/or procurement role, ideally in a manufacturing or similar operational environment.
Strong working knowledge of Xero (or similar cloud accounting software) is essential.
High proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, lookups, basic reporting) and the wider Microsoft Suite (Word, Outlook).
A natural inclination toward both numbers and negotiation, comfortable moving between bookkeeping tasks and supplier conversations.
Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple priorities.
High level of integrity and discretion in handling company funds and supplier relationships.
Good communication skills, with the confidence to liaise across Finance, Warehouse, and Production teams.
Screening Questions:
Question 1 - Describe a month-end or period-end close you have personally worked on. Please list the specific reconciliations you carried out and the types of journal entries you posted (for example accruals or prepayments), and describe one discrepancy you found and how you resolved it.
Question 2 - Tell us about a time you had to get the best value from a purchase or a spending decision, whether at work, in your studies, or personally. What options did you compare, how did you decide, and if it was a work purchase, roughly what did you save (in cedis or as a percentage)?
Question 3 - In this role you would help choose a supplier and raise the purchase order, but approving the order and authorising payment would sit with the Finance Manager, not with you. In your own words: (a) how would you keep your part of the process clean and properly documented, and (b) what would you do if a supplier offered you a personal gift to win an order?
