Job Description

An exciting opportunity has opened within a well-established logistics business for an Accounts Administrator to join their finance team in Cape Town.

This is not a typical admin role focused purely on processing. The successful individual will play a key role in ensuring billing accuracy, identifying discrepancies, analysing costs, improving controls, and working closely with operations and management to resolve issues and improve efficiencies across the business.

The environment is fast-paced, detail-driven, and highly operational, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving, working with data, and being part of a business where accuracy and commercial awareness genuinely matter.

What makes this role exciting:

• Strong exposure to operational finance and logistics processes
• Opportunity to work with large volumes of data and reporting
• Involvement in investigations, reconciliations, controls, and process improvements
• Exposure to systems, reporting tools, and operational analysis
• A collaborative environment where initiative and follow-through are valued

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you are:

• Naturally analytical and detail-oriented
• Someone who enjoys investigating discrepancies and solving problems
• Comfortable working with high volumes and tight deadlines
• Proactive, organised, and confident following up with stakeholders
• A strong communicator who enjoys working across teams

Requirements:

• Grade 12
• 3–5 years’ finance or administration-related experience
• Strong Excel skills — essential
• Experience working on business operating systems
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• Ability to work accurately under pressure and meet deadlines

Advantageous:

• Logistics industry exposure
• Advanced Excel skills
• Exposure to Power BI or AI tools

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone wanting to build their operational finance exposure within a well-established business that values accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.
