The Role
Reporting to the Financial Director, you'll be responsible for the full accounting function across our SA entity and contribute to the consolidated group view. You'll own AP and AR cycles, run month-end close, prepare statutory submissions, manage our fixed-asset register, reconcile our FNB bank accounts, and support the external audit. Day-to-day, you'll work in our in-house Hadron ERP — so comfort with modern web-based accounting software (we used to run Sage Evolution) is essential.
This isn't a back-office data-capture role. You'll be a hands-on professional helping us close the month tightly, file accurate returns to SARS on time every time, and produce management accounts that the directors actually use to make decisions.
