Job Description

About Quidax

Quidax is where crypto meets limitless possibilities. We’re making digital asset access effortless for individuals, businesses, and fintechs in Africa. Our goal? Providing real value for our customers while driving the future of Finance.

About the Role

We're growing our finance team and hiring a Financial Accountant to share the load as our transaction volumes scale.

This is a hands-on role. You'll be in the numbers every day, running reconciliations, preparing entries, closing the books, and keeping our reporting tight across multiple entities. Our volumes are high (think closer to a busy microfinance bank than a quiet back office), so accuracy under pressure is the name of the game.

If you like order, take pride in getting the numbers right,not "mostly right", and want to do real accounting work at a fast-moving company, you'll feel right at home.

What You’ll Be Owning

Close & Reporting

• Run day-to-day close activities across entities reconciliations, journals, and schedules to tight monthly deadlines
• Prepare entity-level and consolidated financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) for review
• Keep intercompany accounts, eliminations, and reconciliations clean and consistent
• Hold the line on accuracy as transaction volumes climb

B2B & Operational Accounting

• Handle B2B accounting entries, revenue, fees, settlements, and client balances accurately and on time
• Track client balances, commissions, and partner-related transactions correctly
• Work closely with Settlement, Assurance, and Ops so the numbers reflect what's actually happening
• Turn complex, high-volume B2B flows into clean, auditable entries

Controls & Operations

• Support and maintain controls across AP, AR, payroll, and reconciliations
• Apply correct accounting treatment for crypto-related transactions (valuation, fees, taxes) we'll train you on the crypto specifics
• Keep documentation current, practical, and audit-ready

Compliance & Support

• Support audits, tax filings, and statutory reporting across jurisdictions
• Support budgeting and forecasting with reliable, entity-level data
• Flag issues and risks early, before they become problems

Biggest Challenges You’ll Tackle

• Keeping accuracy tight as transaction volumes and account numbers grow
• Turning messy, high-volume data into clean, auditable entries
• Keeping intercompany balances and eliminations right across multiple entities
• Hitting close deadlines every month, not just at year-end

What We’re Looking For

• 2 - 5 years of hands-on financial accounting experience
• A professional qualification (ICAN, ACA, ACCA, CPA), qualified, or well on the way
• Strong grounding in financial reporting, reconciliations, and month-end close
• Working knowledge of IFRS
• Experience in a high-volume environment where money genuinely moves, fintech, banking, microfinance, manufacturing, or FMCG or a busy accounting firm handling real transaction volume
• A sharp eye for detail, you catch your own errors before they leave your desk
• Comfortable working in well-built spreadsheets (we don't rely on a heavy ERP)
• Dependable, organised, and able to own your work without hand-holding

Nice to Have

• Experience accounting for crypto assets or exchanges
• Familiarity with tools like QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, or similar
• Exposure to multi-entity or multi-jurisdiction environments

Reporting Line

You'll report to the Accounting Manager and work closely with the broader Finance, Settlement, and Assurance teams to keep Quidax financially sound as we scale.
