Assistant Accountant
First seen by Alion on Oct 30, 2026.
Own the numbers that keep an international operation moving and become the Financial Manager's trusted accounting partner.
Is This You?
Accuracy shapes how you approach every journal, reconciliation and deadline. Proactive and organised, you take ownership without constant supervision, communicate clearly and willingly step beyond your immediate responsibilities when the finance team needs support.
What You'll Be Doing
You will process general ledger journals, accounts payable invoices and supplier payments while maintaining accurate records through to trial balance. You will manage cashbooks and bank reconciliations, review debtors, complete balance sheet reconciliations and support month-end processes. You will also contribute to stock takes, budgets and annual audits, with exposure to foreign currency transactions and international reporting.
Where You'll Be Doing It
Join an established import, distribution and wholesale business that operates independently within a wider international group. You will work alongside a small, close-knit finance team with well-established processes and manageable deadlines. This permanent role is fully office-based in Germiston 08:30 - 16:30.
What You'll Need
Put SYSPRO expertise to work across cashbook, AP, AR and GL modules. You will need hands-on accounting experience spanning journals, general ledger, reconciliations and trial balance, with strong Excel skills. A National Diploma or Degree is strongly preferred. Foreign currency experience is advantageous.
What You'll Get
Build broader accounting capability as trusted support to the Financial Manager. You will gain practical exposure to international reporting, foreign currency transactions, audits, budgets and stock takes, with room to take ownership and deepen your technical confidence.
