Job Description

Available immediately and confident running a full cashbook function from end to end? This one’s for you.

A fast-paced, globally recognised business is looking for a seasoned Cashbook Clerk to step in and take full ownership of the cashbook function within a busy finance team. This is not a junior processing role, you’ll be trusted to manage the function independently and keep things running smoothly from day one.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Taking full responsibility for the cashbook function
  • Daily bank downloads and statement management
  • Processing AP and ad hoc payments
  • Maintaining and updating weekly cash flow files
  • Performing monthly bank reconciliations
  • Submitting VAT and EMP returns
  • Managing banking platforms and liaising with multiple banks (including Nedbank, Bidvest and HSBC)
  • Capturing all transactions accurately within the finance system

What we’re looking for:

  • Completed diploma or degree in finance or accounting
  • Minimum 5 years’ cashbook experience with a solid track record
  • Strong reconciliation skills, this is non-negotiable
  • Experience working on an ERP system (SAP, Syspro, Maconomy or similar)
  • Confident communicator who can deal with stakeholders at all levels
  • Highly organised, deadline-driven and able to work under pressure
  • Comfortable working independently and taking ownership

Why this role stands out:

  • Full ownership of the function, not just processing
  • Exposure to a multi-bank, complex environment
  • Opportunity to step into a high-performing finance team and make an immediate impact

This is a temporary opportunity best suited to someone who is immediately available and ready to hit the ground running.

If you don’t hear back from us within 2 weeks of applying, please consider your application unsuccessful. But stay in touch, follow us online and keep an eye out for future opportunities.
