Job Description

Month-end, year-end and audit prep all run through you at a logistics company in Coega. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

  • Experience on an ERP such as Sage X3, Sage 300, Syspro or SAP Business One
  • At least 3 years of post-qualification accounting experience

What's in it for you
