Your safety comes first — read before you go. Taf4All only lists job offers published by third parties. We are not the employer, we do not conduct these recruitments, and we cannot guarantee what happens once you make contact — you deal directly with the person or company behind the offer, at your own risk.

This role is designed to ensure accurate financial record-keeping, generate insightful financial reports, and oversee credit control, premium allocation, and other critical duties. Reporting directly to the Chief Finance Officer, the incumbent will maintain a premium register, ensure precise ERP system postings within stipulated timelines, process requisitions via EFT, and strictly adhere to approved budgets. Timely bank reconciliations are mandatory, with all discrepancies resolved promptly—ideally within 30 days. Commissions must be disbursed within seven days, while claims processing, approval, and payment should be finalized within ten days. The position also entails managing the fixed asset register, capitalizing assets, calculating depreciation, and closing ERP modules at month-end, including Cash, Purchasing, Stores, and Accounts Payable. Additional responsibilities include resolving debtor disputes, following up on outstanding premiums, ensuring bank credits are receipted and allocated, pursuing underwriters for unresolved debits, processing premium refunds, preparing debtor reports, and issuing statements to intermediaries. The role involves leading Credit Control Committee meetings, conducting general ledger account analyses, and mitigating fraud by meticulously reviewing commission requests, claim payments, and expense approvals. During audits, the incumbent will provide essential schedules to auditors. Qualifications & Experience: A bachelor’s degree in business or a related field—or an equivalent qualification—along with progression toward CPA or ARCA certification, is required. Candidates must possess at least three years of relevant experience in a comparable role, with proficiency in computerized accounting systems, particularly ERP, serving as a strong advantage. Location & Details: The position is based in Kigali, Rwanda, and is a full-time, permanent role with daytime hours. The job posting remains open from August 3, 2026, to August 18, 2026.

Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your application for Britam, address the senior-level need for CPA by citing a specific past project where you solved a similar challenge. This shows real experience, not just keywords.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Technical leadership — Prepare an example of an architectural decision you made, with constraints (budget, timeline, team) and outcomes. African CTOs look for someone who managed real complexity, not just knows the theory.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
