NFU016440/MN

Date posted:

Wednesday, June 10, 2026

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

SUMMARY:
At some point, you stop asking “What’s next?” … and start demanding more.

POSITION INFO:
More impact. More ownership. More growth.
If you’re a Financial Accountant who’s tired of playing it safe and ready to step into a role where your skills move the business forward—this is your moment.

Job & Company Description:
Forget “business as usual.” This is where things break, move fast, and need fixing—properly.
You’ll step into a manufacturing and distribution environment where the numbers don’t sit still, and neither can you. Stock moves, margins shift, pressure builds—and your job is to bring control to the chaos.
If you’re the kind of person who sees a messy balance sheet and thinks “give me 48 hours, I’ll sort it” … you’re exactly who these needs.

What You’ll Own:

Detailed balance sheet reconciliations and reporting
Creditor and cashbook journal processing
Management of returns of goods and related accounting flows
Accurate VAT reconciliations and compliance
Invoicing and transaction integrity
Supporting month-end processes and financial close

What You Bring:
BCom Accounting (essential)
5+ years’ experience in a Financial Accountant role
Experience in manufacturing and/or distribution environments
Strong reconciliation and journal processing expertise
Hands-on experience with Pastel and/or OmniX (advantageous)
Solid understanding of VAT and operational accounting flows
A mindset that says: figure it out, fix it, improve it

Why This Role?
Because you’re not here to stay comfortable—you’re here to level up.

You want to be challenged daily
You want your work to mean something
You want exposure to real, operational finance
You’re ready to grow your career and your industry value

Apply now if you’re ready to stop coasting and start building something bigger.
