CHOICEMART NG / WE’RE HIRING
Can you account for every sale, every remittance and every naira?
Join ChoiceMart NG as an Experienced Ecommerce Accountant and help us keep accurate books, control cash flow and make better business decisions.
We’re looking for someone who can take ownership of the numbers, investigate differences and explain what the figures mean.
Fully on-site • Oluyole, Ibadan • Experienced applicants • Ecommerce, retail or distribution accounting
A growing ecommerce business. A clear need for financial ownership.
ChoiceMart NG sells consumer products across Nigeria through a pay-on-delivery model. Our operations involve customer orders, delivery agents, stock movements, advertising spend and daily collections.
We need an accountant who can connect these activities to reliable financial records. You will work with sales, reporting, inventory, logistics and management to make sure our financial position is clear and supported by evidence.
This role requires hands-on accounting experience and the confidence to follow discrepancies through to resolution.
What you’ll take ownership of
Keep the books accurate
Record and classify sales, purchases, expenses, refunds, supplier payments and other transactions. Maintain supporting documents and a clear audit trail.
Reconcile deliveries and agent remittances
Match delivered orders to amounts collected, approved agent deductions and bank receipts. Maintain an agent-by-agent outstanding balance schedule and escalate overdue collections.
Reconcile bank and payment accounts
Complete regular reconciliations, investigate unmatched entries and resolve differences with the relevant teams.
Report actual business performance
Prepare monthly profit and loss, balance sheet and cash-flow reports. Separate revenue, cost of goods sold and operating expenses, and explain material changes.
Monitor product and package profitability
Analyse product costs, delivery charges, advertising spend, returns and package mix. Clearly state how shared costs are allocated.
Plan cash flow and payments
Maintain a rolling cash-flow forecast, supplier balances and a payment schedule. Flag cash shortages before they disrupt operations.
Verify stock and inventory value
Reconcile purchases, dispatches, returns and physical counts with inventory records. Investigate shortages, damaged stock and unexplained adjustments.
Prepare payroll and commissions
Verify the underlying delivery and performance records, calculate approved salaries and incentives, and submit payroll for approval on time.
Strengthen controls and compliance
Improve expense approvals, petty cash and advance tracking. Maintain a compliance calendar and coordinate required records, filings and payments with external advisers where needed.
The experience and skills we’re looking for
- Proven experience independently maintaining accounts, reconciling balances and producing monthly financial statements.
- Relevant accounting or finance qualification, or strong equivalent practical experience. Professional accounting certification is an advantage.
- Experience in ecommerce, retail, distribution or another business with frequent sales, stock movements and collections. Pay-on-delivery experience is a strong advantage.
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills, including lookups, SUMIFS, pivot tables and reconciliation schedules.
- Practical use of accounting software such as QuickBooks, Sage, Zoho Books, Xero or a comparable system.
- A sound understanding of inventory accounting, cost of goods sold, receivables, payables and cash flow.
- Ability to build and improve a structured accounting process, rather than depend on verbal explanations or scattered records.
- Clear communication, attention to detail, discretion and consistent follow-through.
You should be comfortable answering: “How much did we make?”, “Where is our money?”, “What do we owe?” and “Which figures still need to be verified?”
What good performance looks like
Daily visibility
Updated cash and bank positions, collections received, agent balances and urgent discrepancies.
Weekly control
A cash-flow forecast, overdue remittance schedule, upcoming payments and a clear list of unresolved reconciliation issues.
Reliable monthly accounts
Financial statements, product profitability and stock reconciliation, with concise explanations and recommended actions. Reporting deadlines will be agreed during onboarding.
Ownership from the start
Review the current records, verify opening balances, identify gaps and establish a workable close and reporting process. Raise problems early and track them until they are resolved.
This role will suit you if…
- You investigate differences instead of changing figures simply to make a report balance.
- You can explain accounting issues clearly to people outside finance.
- You document your work and can show how you arrived at a figure.
- You follow up firmly and respectfully when records or payments are missing.
- You respect approval processes and handle company information confidentially.
How the selection process works
- Application review: We assess your experience and responses.
- Interview: We discuss real accounting situations and how you have handled them.
- Practical assessment: Shortlisted candidates may complete a reconciliation and reporting exercise using sample business data.
- Final discussion: We confirm role expectations, compensation, on-site attendance and availability before an offer is made.
Please use anonymised examples when discussing previous work. Do not submit confidential records belonging to another employer.
