Job Requirements and Responsibilities

The ideal candidate should have a financial degree or certification, which will be an advantage. The role involves financial processing up to the balance sheet level.

The client is in the process of outsourcing most of their financial processing to the company's client, expected to be in place by the end of May. They are transitioning from Sage Evolution to Xero accounting software.

The candidate will handle debtors, including debt collection and liaison, as well as creditor payment authorizations. The company will manage all processing; the candidate's role is to release payments.

The company also manages SARS returns, but monitoring this process is required. The candidate should liaise with IT consultants regarding computer issues and possess basic knowledge of computer servers and software such as Excel and Word.

Xero is a user-friendly program that everyone will be learning soon. The candidate may also be involved in counter sales when needed, although infrequently. The company's industrial relations are outsourced to consultants who handle disciplinary and CCMA cases; the candidate will need to manage HR processes as required.

Additional responsibilities include administrative work related to the pension fund and workmen's compensation. Payroll is managed by the company, but the candidate will input processes related to commissions, leave authorizations, and the onboarding or termination of staff.

The role involves communication with the company and its client, processing transactions, running reports, and producing/submitting statutory returns, including the Annual Financial Statements (AFS). The candidate will monitor and liaise with the company's client, oversee debtors, creditors, and general office administration, including computer systems. Since the client has outsourced everything except debtors, oversight of creditors will also be part of the role.
