Let's be honest: Finance job specs all sound the same.

"Detail-oriented… driven… Excel…" blah blah blah.

Finance in e-commerce hits differently.

Our world moves quickly, our team is collaborative, and we love working with people who bring both precision and personality.

AP here isn't a sleepy, back-office, rubber-stamp job.

You will be:

  • The gatekeeper of clean financial flows
  • The fixer when something doesn't balance
  • The heartbeat connecting suppliers, finance, ops, and buying
  • The person who everyone trusts because your work is gold-standard

If you love order, accuracy, clear processes, and being relied on, you will thrive.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

You're the master of:

  • Processing invoices fast and flawlessly
  • Matching POs, GRNs & invoices with forensic accuracy
  • Managing the AP inbox so it never becomes a crime scene
  • Reconciling supplier statements (you find errors others miss)
  • Preparing weekly payment packs that are bulletproof
  • Keeping suppliers updated, not chasing you
  • Month-end support (clean AP listings, accruals, reports)
  • Spotting risks, gaps, and process improvements

WHO YOU ARE

You'll fit right in if you are:

  • Extremely detail-driven (you see things others miss)
  • Organised and systematic: colour-coded spreadsheets are your happy place
  • Energised by fast-moving environments (retail, e-com, SMME, startup vibes)
  • Comfortable working with tools, platforms, dashboards
  • A clear communicator, suppliers and teammates love dealing with you
  • Calm under pressure and reliable when things get busy
  • Someone who takes pride in delivering clean, accurate work
  • Positive and energetic personality: brings enthusiasm and a friendly attitude to the workplace.
  • Honest and trustworthy: demonstrates integrity in all tasks and interactions.
  • Hardworking and reliable: committed to meeting deadlines and delivering quality work.
  • Eager to learn and grow: motivated to develop skills and advance professionally.
  • Adaptable to change: flexible in dynamic and fast moving environments and open to new ways of working.
  • Loyal and team-oriented: dedicated to supporting colleagues and contributing to long-term success.

TOOLS YOU'LL USE

  • Sage Evolution / Fusion
  • Excel + Google Sheets (solid formula confidence)
  • Google Workspace

If you're the kind of person who wants their work to matter, loves a tidy spreadsheet, and thrives in a fast, friendly, non-corporate environment… this role has your name all over it.
