is hiring a
Junior Accountant / Bookkeeper
to join their Cape Town–based finance team.

This is a hands-on role for someone early in their accounting career who wants real exposure, not just data capturing. You'll be working in a structured finance environment with transaction volume, multiple entities, and proper processes, the kind of setup that builds strong fundamentals fast.

If debits and credits make sense to you, Excel is a daily tool (not a panic trigger), and you care about getting the details right, read on.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Processing supplier and customer transactions accurately and on time
  • Capturing journals and raising intercompany invoices
  • Performing bank and control account reconciliations
  • Supporting month-end close activities
  • Assisting senior finance staff and responding to internal finance queries
  • Maintaining clean, compliant, audit-ready records

What they're looking for

  • A solid understanding of basic bookkeeping principles
  • Strong attention to detail and good time management
  • Confidence working with numbers and financial data
  • Strong Microsoft Excel skills
  • Experience using accounting software (Xero, Sage, Pastel, SAP, QuickBooks, etc.)
  • Prior exposure to a finance or accounts role (internship or junior position)
  • Studying towards or recently completed an Accounting / Finance / Bookkeeping qualification
  • Matric with HG Mathematics

What will make you a good fit

  • You're reliable, professional, and eager to learn
  • You can work independently but know when to ask questions
  • You understand that confidentiality and integrity are non-negotiable in finance

Why this role is a smart move
You'll gain broad exposure across core bookkeeping functions within a
large group environment
, with clear potential to grow into a
Senior Bookkeeper or Accountant
role over time. This is a foundation role with momentum, not a box-ticking junior post.

Industry:
Retail / Distribution

Company size:
Large, established group
