Job Description

You'll own the monthly numbers for a national retail chain head office in Bloemfontein, from journals to the management pack. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Bloemfontein-based, with most of your time spent at a national retail chain head office.

What you'll actually do

  • Maintain the fixed asset register and depreciation schedules
  • Review creditors, debtors and payroll journals from the clerks
  • Run cash flow forecasts and manage the weekly payment run
  • Prepare monthly management accounts with variance commentary
  • Build budgets and rolling forecasts with department heads

Must-haves

  • Working knowledge of IFRS or IFRS for SMEs
  • At least 3 years of post-qualification accounting experience
  • BCom Accounting or equivalent degree
  • Understanding of South African income tax and VAT

Helpful, not essential

  • CIMA qualification for management accounting posts
  • Consolidation experience across several companies

On offer

  • Hybrid schedule outside month-end week
  • Performance bonus linked to company results
  • Paid professional body membership fees
