The Role<\/p>\n
\tWe are looking for a Junior Finance Associate to join our Finance team and support the day-to-day running of our accounting operations.

\n\tThis role is essential to keeping Lami\u2019s finance engine accurate, timely, and audit-ready. It is also a high-growth seat: strong performers will have ample room to take on more responsibility and progress into more senior finance roles as Lami continues to scale.<\/p>\n
Key Responsibilities<\/p>\n
\tAccounts Payable: process supplier invoices, validate against purchase orders and contracts, prepare and execute payment runs, reconcile vendor statements, and resolve supplier queries.
\n\tAccounts Receivable: raise customer invoices on schedule, monitor receivables ageing, follow up on outstanding balances, and accurately apply customer receipts.
\n\tBookings & General Ledger: post day-to-day journals, maintain accurate GL records, and perform routine reconciliations (bank, intercompany, and control accounts).
\n\tSupport the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close process, including preparation of supporting schedules.
\n\tAssist in the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and management reports.
\n\tHelp with regulatory and statutory reporting, including VAT, PAYE, Withholding Tax, NSSF, NHIF\/SHIF, and other Kenyan tax filings, under the guidance of the Finance Manager.
\n\tSupport audit preparation by gathering schedules and supporting documents, and responding to internal and external audit queries.
\n\tMaintain quality control over financial transactions, documentation, and filing (digital and physical) to support strong internal controls.
\n\tContribute to documenting and improving accounting policies, processes, and internal controls as Lami scales.
\n\tProvide ad-hoc support to the Finance Manager, Head of Finance, and wider business and operations teams as needs arise.<\/p>\n
What You Bring<\/p>\n

\n\t1\u20133 years of relevant experience in a finance or accounting role, ideally in a fast-paced startup, fintech, insurance, or audit environment.
\n\tSolid working knowledge of double-entry accounting, AP\/AR processes, and general ledger maintenance.

\n\tStrong Excel and Google Sheets skills \u2014 pivot tables, lookups, and comfort with basic financial analysis.
\n\tFamiliarity with Kenyan tax obligations (VAT, PAYE, WHT) and iTax filings.
\n\tPrior exposure to the insurance or fintech industry is a bonus but not strictly required.
\n\tFinance qualifications in progress is an added advantage, not a requirement.<\/p>\n
Who You Are<\/p>\n
\tGrowth-oriented \u2014 eager to learn fast, take feedback well, and stretch into new areas of finance over time.
\n\tHigh attention to detail and a strong sense of ownership over the accuracy of your work.
