Finance Associate

We are hiring immediately

Company Description

 HARTH is a Cairo-based tea and botanical company focused on developing a considered range of loose-leaf teas and herbal infusions. The brand works across both classic teas and botanical blends, combining ingredients such as black, green, white, and roasted teas with botanicals including herbs, flowers, spices, and fruit. The approach is rooted in composition, building blends that are balanced, distinctive, and grounded in ingredient quality.

HARTH places a strong emphasis on sourcing and material integrity, working with origins such as East Africa and Sri Lanka alongside botanicals more closely tied to the region. The focus is not on volume, but on developing a refined and intentional collection. Alongside its blends, the brand is building a wider product offering around tea, including packaged loose-leaf collections, tea bags, and related products designed for both retail and hospitality environments.

Role Description

This is a full-time, on-site role based in Cairo. You will work directly with the founder on the financial organisation of the business. The role is hands-on and focused on accuracy, structure, and financial clarity. You will be responsible for:

• Maintaining accurate financial records and organised documentation
• Supporting budgeting, cost planning, and basic forecasting
• Building and maintaining simple financial models (e.g. cost breakdowns, pricing, margins)
• Assisting in monitoring financial performance across products and operations

The role is focused on ensuring that financial information is clear, reliable, and usable for decision-making.

Who This Role Suits

• Comfortable working with structured data and financial information
• Organised, consistent, and reliable in their work
