About Set Focus Transport Limited

Set Focus Transport Limited is a dynamic carrier transportation company based in Ndola, Zambia, specializing in reliable and efficient logistics solutions. As part of the Set Focus Group, we are committed to operational excellence and accuracy. We are currently seeking a dual-role professional who can manage both our financial records and daily office administration with high precision.

Job Description

We are looking for a Bookkeeper who is as comfortable with a balance sheet as they are with office management. This is a high-accountability role that requires a candidate with a strong "sanity-check" logic—someone who can spot errors in fuel reports or tax calculations immediately. The ideal candidate will have a mastery of Microsoft Excel and a proven background in Zambian statutory compliance.

Key Responsibilities

1. Bookkeeping & Financial Tracking:

• Manage daily bookkeeping entries.
• Maintain a comprehensive expense tracker, focusing on fuel consumption, truck maintenance, and driver acquittals.
• Perform monthly bank reconciliations and verify data integrity across all financial records.
• Monitor accounts payable and receivable, ensuring professional communication with vendors and clients.

2. Statutory Compliance:

• Prepare and file monthly ZRA returns (VAT, PAYE) via Tax Online.
• Calculate and ensure timely payment of NAPSA, NHIMA, and Workers' Compensation.

3. Administrative Support:

• Provide comprehensive secretarial support, including scheduling, correspondence management, and professional filing.
• Maintain a digital and physical archive of all operational documents (invoices, receipts, and logbooks).
• Coordinate office logistics to support the management and operations teams.

Qualifications & Experience Required

Experience: Minimum 3 years of professional experience in Bookkeeping or Accounts Administration.

Education: Minimum Grade 12 Certificate with credit or better in Mathematics and English. A Diploma in Accountancy is highly preferred.

Software Proficiency: ADVANCED Excel skills are mandatory. You must be proficient in VLOOKUP, SUMIF, IF Functions, and Pivot Tables.

Attributes: Exceptional attention to detail, high ethical standards, and the ability to work under pressure to meet statutory deadlines (10th and 14th of the month).

Residency: Strictly Ndola residents only. Applicants must be currently residing in Ndola to be considered for this role.

Work Hours: 8

Experience in Months: 12

Level of Education: associate degree
