A fast-growing energy solutions company is on the hunt for a detail-obsessed, proactive Financial Accountant to join their Northern Suburbs-based team. If you're passionate about clean financials, process improvement, and making a tangible impact in a business driving transformation across Africa, this is your cue.

Who they are:
This team is all about innovation, efficiency, and scale - helping some of South Africa’s biggest companies manage billions in annual energy spend. Their office hums with purpose, and they’re looking for someone who wants to grow with them.

What the role is about:
You’ll play a key role in the day-to-day accounting operations, from reconciliations and reporting to driving accuracy in processes and data. This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who loves structure, thrives under pressure, and has a sharp eye for detail.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Managing daily cashbook, credit card, and bank reconciliations
  • Overseeing accounts payable, accounts receivable, and invoicing
  • Handling month-end journals and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Preparing VAT submissions and supporting audit processes
  • Maintaining fixed assets and managing intercompany transactions
  • Liaising with suppliers, clients, and internal teams to resolve account queries

What we’re looking for:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (or equivalent)
  • 2–4 years’ experience in a similar role
  • Strong Excel skills and ERP system experience 
  • High level of accuracy, reliability, and initiative
  • A great communicator and natural problem-solver
  • Must be based in Cape Town (onsite role in the Northern Suburbs)

What’s in it for you:

  • Join a company with purpose and rapid growth
  • Work in a collaborative, supportive finance team
  • Get exposure to project-based work and top-tier clients
  • Opportunity to build systems and improve processes

Apply now if you're ready to bring structure, energy, and your accounting expertise to a high-performing team.
