Accountant (Remote - Gauteng)

This is not a purely transactional bookkeeping role. You'll be working across multiple companies and currencies, taking ownership of month-end processes, reconciliations, intercompany accounting, financial controls and reporting. When something doesn't tie, you're expected to investigate it, understand the accounting behind it and see it through to resolution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage daily accounting and general ledger processes across entities
• Prepare and process journals
• Perform bank, supplier and balance sheet reconciliations
• Investigate and resolve variances and reconciling items
• Manage supplier accounting, statement reconciliations and payment support
• Assist with monthly financial close and management accounts
• Process and reconcile accruals, prepayments, fixed assets, payroll, VAT and statutory accounts
• Manage intercompany reconciliations across entities
• Support multi-currency accounting and foreign exchange reconciliations
• Reconcile operational booking systems to accounting records and investigate discrepancies
• Prepare supporting schedules for reporting, audits and year-end
• Assist with cash-flow reporting and forecasting
• Identify control weaknesses and drive improvements in accounting processes
• Maintain accurate, well-supported records and clear audit trails

Job Experience and Skills:

• BCom in Accounting or Finance
• Completed SAICA or SAIPA accounting articles essential
• Sage Pastel, Xero or QuickBooks Online experience
• Transaction-intensive industry experience
• Strong month-end accounting experience
• Gauteng-based and comfortable working fully remotely
• Ability to investigate and resolve accounting discrepancies independently
• Strong MS Excel skills (PivotTables, XLOOKUP / VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, IF formulas and large data sets)
• Multi-company / group accounting experience advantageous
• Multi-currency experience advantageous
• Management accounts, cash flow, VAT and audit experience advantageous
• High level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

If you're the Accountant who doesn't just flag a difference but digs into the detail, finds the answer and fixes the problem, this could be your next move. Trade the traffic for flexibility, bring your post-articles experience to an international group and apply now!
