Job Description

You'll own the monthly numbers for a private school trust in Rustenburg, from journals to the management pack. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Rustenburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What your day looks like

  • Track stock costing, standard costs and production variances
  • Reconcile balance sheet accounts and clear old reconciling items
  • Run the month-end close and prepare the trial balance
  • Build budgets and rolling forecasts with department heads
  • Review creditors, debtors and payroll journals from the clerks

You'll need

  • Experience on an ERP such as Sage X3, Sage 300, Syspro or SAP Business One
  • You meet month-end deadlines without being chased
  • Working knowledge of IFRS or IFRS for SMEs
  • At least 3 years of post-qualification accounting experience

On offer

  • Medical aid and retirement fund contributions
  • Performance bonus linked to company results
  • Study assistance for board exams
  • Hybrid schedule outside month-end week
