Remote finance and accounting jobs
Finance teams at global companies increasingly hire outside their headquarters, particularly for accounting operations, payroll, audit and FP&A work that runs on shared systems rather than local presence.
These are live roles, each labeled by hiring region. Qualifications such as ACCA and ICAN are widely recognised by the companies that hire across EMEA.
Right now there are 27 live roles from 19 companies, 7 of them labeled Worldwide or Open from Nigeria.

How to actually get hired from Nigeria
Most remote applications go into a pile nobody reads. Before you apply, you can check two things a listing rarely tells you: whether you can really do this job from Nigeria, and who at the company to reach directly.

Is the role still open, and open from Nigeria? How you would be engaged and paid, the working hours in Lagos time, and whether the company looks legitimate. Anything we cannot verify is marked “not found”, never guessed.

Everything in the report, plus who to contact at the company and a specific message written from your CV for that job, so you reach a hiring contact instead of applying into a pile. If we cannot find a contact, we say so.

What finance employers check first
For entry-level bookkeeping and finance support, accuracy and tool familiarity come before everything else.
Accounting software
QuickBooks, Xero and Zoho Books are common. Free trials let you practise entering invoices and reconciling a bank statement.
How you will be paid and taxed
Foreign employers usually engage you as a contractor or via an employer-of-record. Know the difference before the interview.
Attention to detail tests
A reconciliation or data-entry exercise with a planted error is a typical screen. Check your totals twice.
Professional credentials
ACCA and ICAN are recognised by many employers; list progress honestly if you are still studying.
Finance teams are small, so a direct message can matter. The outreach pack shows who to contact and drafts a message from your CV. See how the outreach pack works
Questions, answered.
