Job Title: Jr. Accountant
Department: Finance
Location: New Cairo, Egypt
Job Purpose
The Jr. Accountant keeps the daily accounting record accurate: posting invoices, receipts and journals, matching transactions and preparing the reconciliations the close depends on. It is an entry seat built to learn financial accounting from the ground up in a high-volume online business, where every order, refund and supplier payment has to land in the ledger exactly as it happened. The standard starts here: a supplier is paid when promised and a customer refund lands because the entries behind it were right the first time.
Key Responsibilities
Transaction Processing
- Post supplier invoices, customer receipts and journal entries in D365 F&O accurately and within the daily processing window.
- Perform three-way matching of purchase orders, goods receipts and invoices before anything is released for payment.
- Record customer refunds, order adjustments and credit notes against the correct account, entity and market.
- Code every transaction to the right cost centre and dimension so reporting by market and channel stays clean.
- Attach and file supporting documents so every entry can be traced to its source in seconds.
Reconciliations
- Prepare assigned bank, payment gateway and cash on delivery reconciliations daily or weekly for review.
- Match gateway settlement reports to orders and bank receipts, and list fees, chargebacks and timing differences.
- Investigate unmatched items with operations, customer care or the supplier and clear them at source.
- Keep reconciliation workbooks in the agreed template, with balances agreed to the ledger before submission.
Month-End Close Support
- Prepare accruals listings, prepayment schedules and simple balance sheet reconciliations for assigned accounts.
- Run month-end checks on open purchase orders, unposted documents and suspense balances.
- Complete assigned close tasks on the timetable and confirm completion to the reviewer.
- Raise anomalies early, with the facts, instead of waiting for them to surface at close.
Learning, Controls & Standards
- Learn the chart of accounts, posting rules and control points used across Floward's markets.
- Follow approval limits, segregation of duties and documentation standards without shortcuts, including at peak.
- Respond to audit sample requests for assigned transactions with complete, organised evidence.
- Document what you learn in desk notes so the next person picks up the process faster.
Qualifications & Experience
Education:
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field; progress towards ACCA, CMA or CPA an advantage.
Experience:
0-2 years in accounting, audit or finance operations; internship experience welcome.
Skills:
Accounting fundamentals; strong Excel; ERP exposure (Dynamics 365 preferred); accurate data entry.
