  • Preparing and submitting statutory returns (VAT, PAYE and other applicable filings)
  • Maintaining the fixed asset register and strengthening internal controls across the organisation
  • Liaising with vendors and internal stakeholders to resolve financial queries and provide day-to-day financial guidance

What we're looking for

  • BCom or BTech Accounting degree or relevant financial qualification (degree level)
  • 0-5 years' practical experience (NPO exposure an added advantage)
  • Advanced Excel and Pastel Accounting skills (experience with MS Project and VIP advantageous)
  • A valid, unendorsed Code 8 driver's licence
  • Fluency in at least two official languages
  • Strong attention to detail, sound judgement, and the ability to work independently
  • A resilient, team-oriented approach and a genuine ability to build relationships across departments

What's in it for you

  • Better-than-basic leave benefits, including study leave
  • A contributory Pension Fund with Group Life, Disability and Funeral cover
  • Preferential working hours (08h00-16h00, Monday to Friday)
  • Free access to a 24/7 Employee Wellness Programme, including telephonic counselling and legal, financial, family and health support
