We are hiring a Financial Accountant & Business Analyst for CBMart in Kampala, Uganda.
CBMart is a modern supermarket and café built on quality products, great service and doing the right thing. We are growing and we want a finance professional who does more than close the books.
This role does two jobs. You keep the numbers accurate. Then you turn sales, stock and cost data into decisions to grow revenue, protect margins and control costs.
You report to the General Manager and work with store supervisors, cashiers, the café team, procurement, banks, external auditors and URA. You see your analysis change real decisions.
What you will own:
- Books of account, reconciliations and a timely month-end close
- Daily reconciliation of POS sales to cash, card, mobile money and bank deposits, for both the supermarket and the café
- Stock takes, and tracking of losses, expiries, shrinkage and café wastage
- EFRIS compliance and on-time VAT, PAYE, withholding tax, Local Service Tax and NSSF filings
- Monthly management accounts with clear, practical commentary
- Analysis of sales, margins and KPIs such as basket value, stock turnover and wastage, to guide pricing, product range and promotions
- Budgets, forecasts and monthly variance reports
- Stronger internal controls as the business grows
What you bring:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, Business Statistics or a related field
- At least 1 year of experience in accounting, finance or business analysis
- CPA (U), ACCA or CIMA, fully or partly qualified
- Hands-on use of QuickBooks, Sagfine, Tally or similar, plus point-of-sale systems

- Sound knowledge of IFRS for SMEs
- Skill in explaining numbers simply to colleagues outside finance
Added advantages:
- Retail, FMCG or hospitality experience
- ICPAU or ICPAK membership
- Exposure to Power BI or similar tools
You will fit this role if you:
- Follow a till variance until you find the cause
- Ask why one product sells well in the evening and not in the morning
- Live by “see it, own it, do it”
- Keep your integrity when no one is watching
Please note the role needs flexibility during month-end close, stock takes and peak trading periods.
