Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya SALIX Data Africa Limited Full time
Company Description

At SALIX Data,  we don't just work with data; we unlock its potential. Since 1999, we've grown from the bold vision of two brothers into an award-winning global force, serving over 2,500 clients with cutting-edge solutions in Business Process Outsourcing, Forensic Collection, E-Discovery Processing, Cyber Security, and Workflow Automation. But our true power lies in our people, not just task-doers, but problem-solvers, collaborators, and catalysts for innovation. We hire for impact, not just for roles, and believe in putting the right people in the right seats.  Our people are encouraged to think critically, contribute boldly, and help shape innovative solutions for global challenges. We're a team that values Service, Achievement, Leadership, Integrity, and eXpertise (SALIX). Here, every role matters, and every contribution moves the needle.

Are you an aspiring accountant ready to turn numbers into stories and spreadsheets into strategy?

We're looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Accounting Intern who's eager to learn, contribute, and grow in a fast-paced work environment.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to gain hands-on accounting experience, not just filing and shadowing, but learning how a modern finance department actually works.

Job Description
  • ​​​​​File, organize, and maintain financial records with precision.
  • Enter and update accounting data in our systems accurately and on time.
  • Assist in preparing expense reports, petty cash summaries, and supplier payments.
  • Support petty cash reconciliations and ensure proper documentation.
  • Help in preparing and issuing cheques to suppliers.
  • Request and track invoices from vendors, ensuring timely processing.
  • Provide administrative and clerical support to the finance team as needed.
Qualifications
  • Diploma or Degree (or currently pursuing) in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
  • Basic understanding of accounting principles and bookkeeping.
  • Competent in Microsoft Excel; experience with any accounting software is an added plus.
  • Strong numerical accuracy, attention to detail, and discretion with financial information.
  • Self-driven, dependable, and eager to learn in a professional environment.

What We're Offering

  • A 3-month fixed internship (non-renewable) with clear learning objectives.
  • Exposure to real accounting processes — not just observation.
  • Mentorship from experienced finance professionals.
  • A friendly, growth-oriented workplace where curiosity is encouraged and initiative is noticed.

Who We're Looking For

You're not just looking for "something to do." You're looking for a place to learn, prove yourself, and sharpen your accounting instincts. You take ownership, stay organized, and thrive on accuracy. If that's you, we'd love to meet you.
