This full-time Kampala role supports the financial management and accounting operations of ThinkWell Uganda's office and program, reporting to the Director of Finance & Administration. It covers transaction recording, reconciliations, payroll and statutory compliance, budgets, reporting, and financial controls.

• Maintain accounting records and code transactions to the correct project, budget line, funding source, and period.
• Process accounts payable, staff advances, expense claims, deposits, and payment packages with complete approvals and support.
• Prepare routine journal entries, accruals, prepayments, allocations, schedules, and audit trails.
• Reconcile bank, cash, staff advances, accounts payable, payroll liabilities, and assigned general-ledger accounts.
• Support monthly, quarterly, and year-end closing, account schedules, balance-sheet reconciliations, and financial reporting packages.
• Support budgets, forecasts, and budget-versus-actual analysis; identify expenditure variances and flag risks.
• Compile payroll inputs and schedules and support timely filing/remittance of applicable Ugandan statutory deductions and taxes.
• Maintain organized financial records and support internal, external, and donor audits and routine reporting.
• Review finance documentation for accuracy, coding, budget availability, and approvals; support cash-flow monitoring and sound internal controls.

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field; CPA/ACCA qualification or progress toward one is an advantage.
• The posting says: 'At least three (5) years' of relevant finance/accounting experience'; the word and parenthetical numeral conflict, so the minimum is not unambiguous.
• Strong understanding of GAAP, bookkeeping, financial reporting, internal controls, and basic financial analysis.
• Practical accounting-system experience, preferably QuickBooks, and strong Excel/Microsoft Office skills.
• Knowledge of Uganda statutory tax/payroll requirements including PAYE, withholding tax, VAT where applicable, and NSSF; donor-project finance and audit experience are advantages.
• Accuracy, integrity, organization, communication, and ability to manage competing priorities; full English fluency.
