This is not a back-office admin role — it’s a hands-on position where your work directly supports the company’s financial health, helps other departments stay on track, and gives you real exposure to creditors, general ledger, and stock processes.

• Maintain clean, organised files, reports, and documentation
  
• Step in to support junior team members and similar roles when needed
  
• Take on ad-hoc finance tasks as directed by management
  

You’ll be the person who makes sure creditors are paid correctly and on time, reconciliations hit the deadline every month, and the numbers the business relies on are solid.

Qualifications

• Matric
  
• Diploma in Accounting, Financial Management, or a closely related qualification
  

Experience

• Minimum 3 years’ financial administration experience
  
• Solid practical knowledge of creditors processing
  
• Hands-on experience reconciling accounts and the general ledger
  
• Experience assisting or supporting junior staff
  
• Stock invoice / inventory-related experience is a strong advantage
  

Competencies

• Confident computer skills (Excel and accounting systems)
  
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills — you deal with people as well as numbers
  
• Natural leadership ability and willingness to support others
  
• Excellent time management and the ability to hit deadlines without drama
  

If you’re organised, detail-obsessed, and ready to take real ownership in a finance team that values accuracy and reliability, we want to hear from you.

Apply now and help us keep the numbers clean, the creditors happy, and the business moving forward.
