Green Earth Finance & Compliance Officer - Meru Jobs in Kenya
As Finance & Compliance Officer; for Venture Kenya, you’ll ensure money in the venture moves the right way — in, out, and everywhere it needs to be tracked. You’ll review payment requests against approved budgets, oversee a small team handling receipts, disbursements, and record‑keeping, and make sure every transaction has the paperwork to back it up.
Day to day, this means checking that incoming funds are logged and protected, approving payments once invoices are confirmed, chasing down missing documentation before it becomes a bigger problem, and pulling together monthly financial reports for the Country Director and Holding Finance. You’ll be the person who can answer “where does that transaction stand?” at any moment, because records are always current — not scrambled together before an audit.
Key Responsibilities
Ensure all incoming funds are correctly recorded and protected on the day they’re received.
Review and approve payment requests against approved budgets, ensuring invoices and supporting documentation are complete.
Oversee Income & Receipts, Disbursements & Payments, and Records, Assets & Financial Reports functions.
Maintain complete, audit‑ready financial records with zero missing invoices or unreconciled transactions.
Compile and submit monthly financial reports to the Country Director and Holding Finance.
Flag and resolve missing documentation or financial discrepancies before month‑end close.
Escalate payment requests above approved thresholds or signs of financial irregularity.
Respond to financial queries from division heads, auditors, and Holding Finance.
Requirements
We’re looking for someone precise, dependable, and comfortable owning financial accuracy end‑to‑end — not just processing transactions, but genuinely understanding
why every receipt and reconciliation matters.
Qualifications
Degree or professional qualification in Finance, Accounting, or related field.
Solid experience in financial management, budgeting, or accounting — ideally within operational, field‑based, or nonprofit/social‑impact organizations in Kenya or East Africa.
Strong eye for detail and comfort with budgets, reconciliations, and reporting.
Judgment to know when to approve, hold, or escalate payments.
Clear communication skills to explain financial status to non‑finance colleagues and Holding Finance.
Integrity and discretion with sensitive financial data and audit trails.
Familiarity with Kenyan financial regulations, tax requirements, and banking practices.
Comfort working within structured reporting lines while exercising independent judgment.
Bonus: experience with financial reporting tied to certification, compliance, or audit processes (e.g., carbon credit programs, grant compliance).
