Contract
Type: Full-time

Location: Abuja (Hybrid)

Charles Ardor makes its clients'
financials reliable and helps them understand what the figures mean. Our
clients rely on those figures to run their businesses, so the work has to be
right. The Finance Operations Analyst works at the foundation of that process, preparing
and checking the financial information that the review team builds on. You will work with clients and internal team members. You will handle reconciliations, invoices, financial
schedules, month-end activities, and tax and payroll-related work within your
scope. This is not a data-entry role. You are
expected to understand what you are working with, notice when something does
not look right, and investigate it within your level of responsibility. 

What this looks like in practice:

• You
work with the financial records. You process
or review transactions, invoices, bills, postings, and other accounting
information, and ensure the records are properly maintained.

• You
reconcile the figures. You perform bank and other relevant reconciliations,
investigate differences, and follow through on outstanding items.

• You
check the work. You run preliminary checks on client financial
information, including trial balances, reconciliations, and
previous correction directives, and flag anything that requires further
attention.

• You
support month-end close. You assist with accruals, prepayments, and other
required month-end entries and prepare the schedules and supporting information
needed for the close.

• You
support tax and payroll work. You prepare tax computations and draft VAT,
WHT, PAYE, and other relevant statutory work from the available information for
further review. Where applicable, you also support payroll checks, including
PAYE, pension, and other statutory deductions.

• You
investigate discrepancies. When figures do not agree, or something looks
unusual, you look into the underlying records, identify what is causing the
issue where possible, and provide the relevant information for further review.

• You
follow things through. You track previous correction directives, follow up
on missing documents and information, and make sure outstanding items do not
get lost.

• You
work across teams. You communicate with associates, other finance team
members, clients, and other relevant teams to obtain information, clarify
issues, resolve outstanding items, and keep work moving.

• You
improve as you go. You apply feedback to your work, build your accounting
and analytical skills, and improve the standard, accuracy, and independence of
your work over time.

What Good Looks Like After 3–6
Months

At this stage, we are not expecting
you to know everything or be fully proficient in every part of the role. We
expect to see clear progress from where you started and a stronger
understanding of how the firm's work is done.

• You understand the firm's systems,
processes, and expectations for client work.

• You are becoming more confident and
consistent with financial checks, and reconciliations.

• You can identify common
discrepancies, understand when further investigation is needed, and know when
to seek guidance.

• You have developed a stronger
working understanding of the tax, payroll, and statutory requirements relevant
to your work.

• You understand how correction
directives and outstanding items are tracked and followed through.

• You communicate effectively across
teams and with clients when requesting information, clarifying issues, or
following up on outstanding work.

• You are applying feedback and
showing improvement in the accuracy, organization, and overall standard of your
work.

• You are becoming more confident with
the accounting systems, Excel/Google Sheets, and other tools required for your
work.

• You are taking increasing ownership
of your responsibilities while knowing when to ask questions or seek guidance.
