Company Description
P-Vita Green Technologies is an industrial biotechnology company. We turn agricultural waste and algae into biofertilizers and feed supplements, and we commercialise our technology through licensing, joint ventures and industrial partnerships across Egypt, the Gulf and Africa.
We work with international donors, investors and research partners. We are building our finance function from the ground up, and that is why this role exists.
Role Description
This is a standalone role. You will own P-Vita's accounting end to end. There is no finance department above you, and you will not be one pair of hands inside someone else's ledger. You will run the books, the tax file, the social insurance file and the ETA portal yourself, and you will build the systems the department grows into.
P-Vita is the technology and IP company, so the work is lower in volume and higher in complexity than a trading business. Fewer transactions, harder questions.
What you will own:
Full accounting cycle: journal entries, accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliation, monthly and annual closing
Tax: VAT returns, withholding tax, the corporate tax file, and correspondence with the Egyptian Tax Authority
The ETA electronic invoicing portal: issuing, validating and reconciling e-invoices
The social insurance file and payroll
Grant and donor financial reporting, and the financial sections of funding submissions
Foreign currency transactions and intercompany accounting with our manufacturing company
Investor-ready reporting to support fundraising
Monthly reporting direct to the CEO
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Commerce, English section
3 to 5 years in accounting, including at least one year filing independently rather than preparing returns for a chief accountant to sign
Hands-on experience with the ETA electronic invoicing portal
Working knowledge of Egyptian VAT, withholding tax and social insurance procedures in practice, not in theory
Strong written and spoken English. You will correspond directly with international partners, donors and auditors
Strong Excel
ERP experience (Odoo, SAP, Oracle or similar) is preferred
Grant reporting, audit support or startup experience is a plus
What We Offer
Competitive salary and package
Group medical insurance with Allianz, and social insurance
A finance function you build rather than inherit, with a defined review for Finance Manager as the company grows
Direct reporting to the CEO, and visibility across licensing, grants and fundraising
