ACCOUNTANT & HR OFFICER – KAPS Tours & Safaris CC

Most employers require a diploma or degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration from recognized institutions like UNAM or NUST. Professional certifications such as SAIPA, ACCA, or CIMA are highly valued and often preferred for senior responsibilities.

Daily tasks include processing payroll, maintaining financial records, preparing VAT and PAYE returns, and handling employee contracts and leave administration. You will also reconcile bank statements, manage petty cash, and ensure compliance with Namibian Labour Act requirements.

Namibian workplaces often value personal relationships and respectful communication, so building trust with colleagues across departments is essential. Punctuality and professionalism are expected, though flexibility may be needed in smaller companies where roles frequently overlap.

With experience, you can advance to Financial Manager, HR Manager, or Operations Manager roles, particularly in tourism and hospitality sectors. Pursuing further qualifications like an MBA or specialized HR certifications can accelerate progression into executive positions.

Standard benefits usually include annual leave of 20-24 days, sick leave, and contributions to a pension fund such as Namcor or Old Mutual. Medical aid coverage varies by employer, with larger companies more likely to offer comprehensive packages including family coverage.

Submit a concise CV with certified copies of qualifications and references to the specified application channel, ensuring all documents are properly attested as required by Namibian law. Employers prioritize candidates with proven experience in both accounting and HR functions, strong computer skills in Pastel or SAP, and knowledge of Namibian tax and labour regulations.
