Accounting Manager

As an Accounting Manager at Quidax Technologies, you'll strengthen the structure, accuracy, and reliability of the accounting function for a crypto-focused fintech platform operating across Africa. You'll work directly with the CFO to keep the books accurate, reporting tight, and controls strong while supporting scale, audits, compliance, and financial decision-making. You own key accounting activities across multiple entities and will strengthen the processes required to keep financial records reliable as transaction volumes and business complexity grow.

What you'll do

• Own monthly, quarterly, and annual close across multiple entities, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timely delivery of entity-level and consolidated financial statements including P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.
• Maintain accurate reconciliations, schedules, journal entries, and supporting documentation; ensure intercompany accounts and eliminations are complete, consistent, and properly resolved.
• Raise the quality and discipline of the close process as transaction volumes and business lines grow.
• Own the accounting treatment for B2B products, contracts, revenue, fees, settlements, and client balances; ensure commissions, partner transactions, and settlement flows are recorded accurately and on time.
• Work closely with Settlement, Revenue Assurance, Operations, Commercial, and Treasury teams to ensure the accounts reflect what is happening across the business.
• Translate complex, high-volume transaction flows into clear, accurate, and auditable accounting entries.
• Strengthen controls across accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, treasury, reconciliations, and intercompany movements.
• Review existing accounting processes and close control gaps that could affect the accuracy or reliability of financial information.
• Ensure the correct accounting treatment is applied to fiat and crypto-related transactions, including valuation, custody, fees, and taxes.
• Improve accounting processes to reduce manual work, errors, and dependence on undocumented knowledge.
• Keep accounting policies, process notes, schedules, and supporting documentation current and audit-ready.
• Lead the preparation of accounting records and supporting documentation for external audits.
• Work with auditors to resolve queries, explain accounting treatments, and close outstanding issues.
• Support tax filings and statutory reporting across relevant jurisdictions.
• Ensure financial reporting complies with IFRS and applicable statutory requirements.
• Identify and escalate accounting, control, and reporting risks before they become larger problems.
• Support budgeting and forecasting with reliable entity-level financial information.
• Analyse variances and provide clear explanations of material movements.
• Support the CFO with accounting analysis and other financial information required for decision-making.

What you bring

• At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience, including two or more years at Senior Associate level or above (or Assistant Manager and above), with hands-on ownership of the numbers rather than review or oversight.
• Experience gained in a top-tier audit or professional services environment, or in an equally complex multi-entity business with exposure to multiple engagements, high transaction volumes and rigorous reporting and control standards.
• A professional accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA, ICAN, CPA, or an equivalent qualification.
• Strong, practical knowledge of IFRS and financial statement preparation.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex reconciliations, financial reporting, and accounting issues across multiple accounts or entities.
• Strong experience with month-end and year-end close, internal controls, and audit preparation.
• Experience working with complex accounts, multiple entities, or high transaction volumes.
• Strong spreadsheet skills and the ability to work effectively without relying on a heavy ERP.
• Comfort moving between detailed accounting work and conversations with senior stakeholders.
• Dependable and organised, with the ability to take ownership without close supervision.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting complex audit, reporting, or finance transformation engagements.
• Exposure to group consolidations and multi-jurisdiction reporting.
• Experience with financial services, banking, payments, fintech, or similarly complex client engagements.
• Familiarity with accounting systems such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, or similar platforms.
• Exposure to accounting for digital assets or cryptocurrency transactions.

What we offer

• Competitive salary based on your skills and experience; annual merit-based reviews.
• Annual performance reviews and clear promotion cycles with recognition for great work.
• Personal development fund for courses, books, and conferences; study leave.
• Fully remote work with flexible working hours.
• Unlimited paid time off plus Nigerian national holidays.
