Accountant – Passenger Transport

Nigeria Full-time Undisclosed
Job Description
Manage revenue accounting and receivables for a passenger transport operation—reconciling ticket sales/fare collections across routes and channels, managing agent/partner receivables, and ensuring accurate, leak-free revenue reporting.

Key Responsibilities

● Reconcile daily fare/ticket revenue by route, vehicle, and shift against ticketing system/POS records and cash/POS remittances from drivers/conductors.

● Manage receivables from third-party channels: booking agents, online travel platforms, corporate/charter clients, and interline/partner operators

● Investigate and resolve variances between tickets issued, seats occupied, and cash/e-payment remitted (a key leakage point in passenger transport)

● Post and apply receipts (cash, POS, bank transfer, mobile money, online payment gateways) against the correct route/trip/agent account

● Monitor and follow up on aging balances from corporate accounts, travel agents, and charter customers.

● Reconcile prepaid/advance ticket sales and unearned revenue (tickets sold for future travel dates).

● Support month-end close: revenue recognition per trip completed, accrued/deferred revenue schedules, AR-to-GL reconciliation

● Liaise with operations/terminal staff on daily cash returns, manifest counts, and no-show/refund handling

● Maintain agent/partner account terms (commission rates, credit limits, settlement cycles) in the system.

● Prepare route profitability, revenue-per-seat, and DSO reports for management

● Support fraud/leakage controls—e.g., ticket voids, discounts, driver cash handling discrepancies

● Assist with audit requests around ticket-to-cash reconciliation trails

Key Deliverables / Metrics

● Daily cash/ticket reconciliation accuracy (tickets issued = revenue recorded = cash/POS remitted)

● Minimal unexplained revenue variance/leakage per route

● AR ageing and DSO within target for agent/corporate accounts

● Clean, timely AR-to-GL and revenue reconciliations monthly

● Accurate deferred revenue tracking for advance bookings

Qualifications & Experience

● BSc/HND in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

● 2–5 years' experience in revenue accounting or receivables, ideally in transport, logistics, hospitality, or another cash/ticket-intensive sector

● Part-qualified/qualified accountant (ICAN, ACCA) an advantage
