Do You Qualify?
The requirements for this role are tight and specific. Check all three before you apply:
-
✓
Degree in Accounting or Finance. A completed BA, BSc, or equivalent from a recognised institution. Your transcript and certificate should be ready to attach.
-
✓
CPA at Intermediate Level. You must have progressed past CPA Part 1 and be at Section 3 or 4 (Intermediate). This is a firm requirement — not "working towards."
-
✓
Strong communication and ICT skills. You can write clearly, speak professionally, and are comfortable with Excel, accounting software, and standard office tools.
⚠️
CPA Intermediate is non-negotiable. If you're only at CPA Section 1 or 2 (Foundation), this role isn't the right fit yet — but keep studying and watch for the next cycle. If you're at Section 3 or above, you're in the clear.
How to Apply Before the Deadline
1
Get Your Documents in Order
Degree certificate, academic transcripts, CPA results slip, and your national ID. Have digital copies ready to upload — PDF format preferred.
2
Update and Tailor Your CV
Your CV should clearly show your degree, CPA progress, any attachment or internship experience, and your ICT skills. Keep it clean, two pages maximum, and specific to a finance role.
3
Apply Through the Official Portal
Go directly to AAR Healthcare's recruitment portal via the Apply button below. Don't apply through job boards or unofficial channels — the portal is the only valid route.
4
Submit Before April 17 — Not On April 17
Portals get overloaded on deadline day. Submit at least 2–3 days early to avoid technical issues and ensure your application is fully processed.
💡
Tip: Write a short, focused cover letter even if it's not explicitly required. Most graduate trainees don't bother — and that's exactly why doing it puts you ahead. Keep it to 3 paragraphs: why finance, why AAR, and what you bring.
