A degree or professional qualification in Finance, Accounting, or a related field
Solid experience in financial management, budgeting, or accounting — ideally within an operational, field-based, or nonprofit/social-impact organization in Kenya or the wider East Africa region
A strong eye for detail and comfort working with budgets, reconciliations, and financial reporting
The judgment to know when to approve a payment, when to hold it, and when to escalate — and the confidence to do so
Clear communication skills, able to explain financial status and requirements to non-finance colleagues (division heads, field teams) as easily as to Holding Finance
Integrity and discretion, given the sensitivity of financial data and the audit trail required for carbon credit certification
Familiarity with Kenyan financial regulations, tax requirements, and banking practices
Comfort working within a structured reporting line, while still exercising sound independent judgment day to day
Bonus: experience with financial reporting requirements tied to certification, compliance, or audit processes (e.g., carbon credit programs, grant compliance, or similar)
