Intro Hook

Own the numbers. Elevate the process.
If you love tidy ledgers and fast-moving month-ends, this one’s for you.

About the Role

We’re hiring an Accounts Clerk to keep financial data clean, controlled, and on time. You’ll capture transactions with precision, reconcile balance sheet items, and support month-end in a high-compliance, SAP-driven environment. Expect hands-on ownership of creditors, cashbook allocations, AR sub-systems, and day-to-day issue resolution alongside the Finance & Administration Manager.

Who the Client Is

This opportunity is with a respected private healthcare group operating multiple hospital sites. The organisation is known for disciplined financial governance, SAP-first processes, and a culture that values continuous improvement and service to clinical operations.

What You’ll Do

Prepare and capture requisitions, orders, and payments in SAP; facilitate the procurement cycle end-to-end.
Manage allocated creditors: reconcile, process, and resolve daily queries with vendors and hospital staff.
Code and allocate payments/receipts in the cashbook; clear bank and debtor reconciling items timeously.
Maintain orderly filing for creditors and keep the contracts register current and accurate.
Support internal control reviews; manage the Accounts Receivable sub-system and prepare month-end accruals.
Assist with month-end and Capex reporting; general admin (minutes, filing) as needed.
Liaise with national credit control on daily banking and transfers; handle petty cash; drive standardisation and efficiency.

What You Bring

Bookkeeping Diploma (or equivalent) with ~2+ years’ relevant experience.
Solid SAP proficiency; understanding of financial processes up to trial balance.
Competent in balance sheet reconciliations; MS Office advantageous.
Calm under pressure, deadline-driven, meticulous with recons.
Private healthcare exposure is a plus; flexible hours to meet operational needs.

What Success Looks Like

Zero-surprise month-ends: clean accruals, cleared reconciling items, and on-time submissions.
Creditor queries resolved quickly, with accurate SAP postings and traceable documentation.
AR sub-system and cashbook up to date; petty cash controlled; banking aligned daily with credit control.
Evident improvements in standardisation and internal controls across the cycle.

Realistic preview: This is a high-volume, detail-heavy environment with tight deadlines and multiple stakeholders. If you thrive on structure, follow-through, and continuous improvement, you’ll do well here.
