Description

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable Specialist in South Africa. In this role, you will be responsible for managing the end-to-end financial flow of invoices, payments, and reconciliations for a fast-paced, high-volume accounting environment. You will ensure that all accounts payable and receivable processes are executed accurately, efficiently, and in compliance with accounting standards. Operating in a remote, structured finance operations setting aligned with U.S. business hours, you will play a critical role in maintaining clean financial records and supporting month-end close activities. This position requires strong attention to detail, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to handle multiple financial transactions simultaneously. You will work closely with vendors, customers, and internal teams to ensure smooth financial operations and timely resolution of discrepancies. The role is ideal for professionals who thrive in process-driven environments and take pride in accuracy and financial integrity. \n Accountabilities: Process and manage accounts payable activities, including entering vendor invoices into systems such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, or SAP and ensuring timely payments via ACH, wire transfers, or checks. Handle accounts receivable operations by generating customer invoices, recording incoming payments, and maintaining accurate AR aging reports and collections follow-ups. Reconcile vendor statements, customer accounts, bank transactions, and AR/AP subledgers to ensure financial accuracy and resolve discrepancies promptly. Support month-end close processes by preparing reconciliations, updating financial records, and assisting with reporting requirements. Maintain accurate and audit-ready documentation, including vendor records, contracts, W-9s, and compliance-related files. Prepare regular financial reports covering cash flow, outstanding balances, collections, and disbursements. Collaborate with internal teams such as procurement, sales, and operations to resolve billing, payment, and vendor-related issues. Ensure adherence to accounting standards such as GAAP and IFRS across all AR/AP processes. Requirements: Minimum of 2 years of experience in accounts receivable, accounts payable, bookkeeping, or accounting support roles. Hands-on experience with accounting systems such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, or Xero. Strong understanding of AR/AP workflows, including invoicing, payment processing, collections, and reconciliations. Proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets, including functions such as VLOOKUP and pivot tables. High attention to detail with a strong ability to identify and resolve financial discrepancies. Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to handle high transaction volumes. Excellent written and verbal communication skills for interacting with vendors and internal stakeholders. Ability to work independently in a structured, fast-paced, and deadline-driven environment. Experience with multi-currency transactions, ERP systems, or automation tools such as Bill.com or Tipalti is a plus. Background in SaaS, real estate, or professional services industries is considered an advantage. Benefits: Fully remote position aligned with U.S. business hours. Opportunity to work in a structured, high-volume finance operations environment. Exposure to leading accounting systems and ERP platforms such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, and Xero. Clear opportunities for career growth into senior accounting or finance operations roles. Hands-on experience with end-to-end AR/AP processes and financial reporting.
