Description
As a Project Accountant, you will be at the financial core of our nature-based projects, ensuring every transaction, report, and system aligns with both local governance and international standards. This is more than just a bookkeeping role, it's a position of trust, structure, and impact.
You will be responsible for managing the financial operations of both field-level project activities and the associated legal entities. Your work will support ecological restoration, community engagement, and long-term sustainability by keeping our financial systems clear, compliant, and audit-ready.
In this role, you will:
- Take ownership of day-to-day financial management, including bookkeeping, petty cash, and payroll
- Ensure full compliance with local tax laws, statutory filings, and audit requirements
- Handle international transfers, cross-currency accounting, and reconciliation
- Maintain both digital and physical records in a way that ensures auditability and transparency
- Coordinate with the global finance team to align local operations with group-wide standards
- Contribute to budget planning, forecasting, and performance reporting
- Support internal and external audits by preparing clear, timely documentation
- Act as a reliable financial point of contact for field teams and headquarters
This role offers the chance to work on meaningful, nature-based initiatives while operating in a structured, internationally connected financial environment. You’ll be part of a global mission, with real local responsibility.
Requirements
We are looking for a highly dependable and capable financial professional who is ready to work at the intersection of purpose and precision. You’ll need a mix of technical skill, practical experience, and a structured mindset.
You bring:
- A degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline
- At least 3 years of professional experience in a similar role, ideally with exposure to both project finance and legal entity administration
- Strong knowledge of international accounting principles, compliance procedures, and financial controls
- Demonstrated experience with payroll processing, tax submissions, and regulatory filings
- Proficiency in digital accounting tools and financial reporting systems
- A high level of accuracy, organization, and discretion in handling financial data
- The ability to work independently while maintaining close coordination with remote teams
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
- A CPA, ACCA, or equivalent certification is a strong advantage and will be highly regarded
This is a role for someone who takes ownership, values clarity, and thrives in a mission-driven, detail-oriented environment. If you're ready to bring financial discipline to projects that make a real-world difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Benefits
Competitive Compensation & Ownership
- A competitive salary that reflects your expertise and responsibility
- Performance-based rewards and growth opportunities within a fast-scaling international company
