Some Accountants reconcile the numbers. Great Accountants understand why they don't balance in the first place. Our client is a multinational travel and tourism business on an exciting growth trajectory, looking for a hands-on, technically sound Accountant who has completed their articles and is ready to take ownership across a growing international group. The role is fully remote, with the successful candidate needing to be Gauteng-based. You'll work closely with the Senior Accountant and Finance Manager while gaining valuable exposure to group accounting within an international travel environment.

This is not a purely transactional bookkeeping role. You'll be working across multiple companies and currencies, taking ownership of month-end processes, reconciliations, intercompany accounting, financial controls and reporting. When something doesn't tie, you're expected to investigate it, understand the accounting behind it and see it through to resolution. Duties & Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage daily accounting and general ledger processes across entities
  • Prepare and process journals
  • Perform bank, supplier and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Investigate and resolve variances and reconciling items
  • Manage supplier accounting, statement reconciliations and payment support
  • Assist with monthly financial close and management accounts
  • Process and reconcile accruals, prepayments, fixed assets, payroll, VAT and statutory accounts
  • Manage intercompany reconciliations across entities
  • Support multi-currency accounting and foreign exchange reconciliations
  • Reconcile operational booking systems to accounting records and investigate discrepancies
  • Prepare supporting schedules for reporting, audits and year-end
  • Assist with cash-flow reporting and forecasting
  • Identify control weaknesses and drive improvements in accounting processes
  • Maintain accurate, well-supported records and clear audit trails

Job Experience and Skills

  • BCom in Accounting or Finance
  • Completed SAICA or SAIPA accounting articles essential
  • Sage Pastel, Xero or QuickBooks Online experience
  • Transaction-intensive industry experience
  • Strong month-end accounting experience
  • Gauteng-based and comfortable working fully remotely
  • Ability to investigate and resolve accounting discrepancies independently
  • Strong MS Excel skills (PivotTables, XLOOKUP / VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, IF formulas and large data sets)
  • Multi-company / group accounting experience advantageous
  • Multi-currency experience advantageous
  • Management accounts, cash flow, VAT and audit experience advantageous
  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

If you're the Accountant who doesn't just flag a difference but digs into the detail, finds the answer and fixes the problem, this could be your next move. Trade the traffic for flexibility, bring your post-articles experience to an international group and apply now!
