Job description

prominent, fast-scaling multinational travel and tourism agency operating across international markets is seeking a sharp, energetic Junior Financial Accountant to join their expanding finance division. Custom-built for a Gauteng-based finance graduate with strong problem-solving initiative, this fully remote role offers broad operational exposure across multi-currency transactions, cross-border entity ledger controls, and dynamic month-end reporting workflows.

Operating within an agile, international group environment, you will take direct ownership of general ledger processing up to balance sheet, bank and accounts reconciliations, multi-entity accounts payable/receivable, and continuous process optimization. The company culture is energetic, fast-paced, and highly collaborative, providing an outstanding learning runway for an ambitious professional looking to grow beyond routine transactional processing. If you are a curious, self-driven finance graduate with 1 to 3 years of commercial experience, strong accounting software skills, and the discipline to thrive working remotely, this global group presents an exceptional career destination.

Key Responsibilities:

• General Ledger & Balance Sheet Governance: Execute full-cycle bookkeeping entries up to balance sheet level, ensuring accuracy across multi-entity financial ledgers.
• Transaction Processing & Reconciliations: Reconcile high-volume multi-currency banking accounts, credit cards, supplier ledgers, and debtor balances while resolving line-item variances timeously.
• Month-End Close & Financial Reporting: Support group month-end close schedules, compile trial balance reconciliations, and assist with ad hoc management reporting packs.
• Accounts Payable & Receivable Administration: Oversee end-to-end accounts payable disbursements and debtor collection tracking across international operating entities.
• Process Optimization & Systems Management: Collaborate with senior finance leadership to refine internal financial controls, automate workflow efficiencies, and maintain audit-ready digital archives.

Job Experience and Skills Required:

• Formal Education (Non-Negotiable): A completed BCom Degree in Accounting or Financial Management is essential.
• Experience Track Record: 1 to 3 years of solid, reference-backed commercial accounting experience.
• Location & Work Model: Must be Gauteng-based and fully comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
• Systems & Digital Competencies:
  • Solid working knowledge of cloud and desktop accounting software (such as Sage, Pastel, Xero, or QuickBooks).
  • Strong working proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Specialized Industry Exposure (Advantageous): Prior accounting experience within Travel & Tourism, Destination Management (DMC), Hospitality, or Property sectors, paired with multi-entity or multi-currency exposure, is highly beneficial.
• Non-negotiables: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, high numerical accuracy, a proactive problem-solving attitude, and the self-motivation needed to manage tight reporting deadlines independently.

What is on offer (Why Apply):

• Work 100% remotely for a dynamic, growing multinational travel and tourism business (Gauteng base required).
• Broad international accounting exposure spanning multi-currency ledger management, multi-entity reporting, and executive mentorship.
• A supportive, energetic corporate culture that actively rewards individual initiative and long-term professional growth.
