Job Description

Do you thrive on keeping the numbers right and the orders moving? We're looking for an organised, proactive all-rounder to support a growing South African functional nutrition business that helps people live healthier, more active lives.

Why join this team?

This is a hands-on role at the centre of the business. You'll connect finance, sales channels and supply chain, making sure orders go out on time, suppliers deliver and management can see clearly what's happening. If you enjoy improving processes and following things through to the end, you'll make a real difference here.

What you will be doing:

  • Managing day-to-day bookkeeping in QuickBooks, including AP, AR and reconciliations
  • Capturing supplier and customer invoices, credit notes and expenses
  • Following up on overdue customer payments and reconciling supplier statements
  • Reconciling e-commerce and marketplace sales, fees, refunds and settlements
  • Preparing monthly financial reports and supporting VAT and year-end with the external accountant
  • Processing reseller and wholesale orders from retailers, pharmacies and distributors
  • Coordinating fulfilment with warehouse and dispatch, and handling returns and credit notes
  • Managing Amazon Seller Central and Takealot Seller Portal orders, listings, stock and account health
  • Raising purchase orders in MRPeasy and following up with suppliers on pricing and delivery
  • Matching purchase orders, goods received and supplier invoices
  • Supporting stock counts, reconciliations and replenishment planning
  • Preparing weekly reports on orders, receivables, payables, stock and marketplace performance

What we are looking for:

  • At least 3 years' experience in bookkeeping, financial administration or a combined finance and operations role
  • Practical experience with QuickBooks
  • Experience in order processing, invoicing and supplier administration
  • Strong Excel skills
  • Solid understanding of AP, AR and reconciliations
  • Experience with purchase orders, supplier invoices and stock records
  • Strong organisation and attention to detail
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines independently
  • A formal accounting qualification is not required. Practical experience matters more

Advantageous:

  • MRPeasy or another MRP/ERP system
  • Amazon Seller Central and Takealot Seller Portal
  • FMCG, manufacturing, wholesale or e-commerce experience
  • Inventory management and production procurement
