An Accountant vacancy has opened in Kempton Park, Gauteng, with a leading international freight and logistics company. The role sits in the company’s finance team, reports to the Finance Manager and offers a stated salary of R30,000 to R35,000 per month. It is a permanent position at intermediate level, and the advert reference is f13a0710-ca9b-4.
About the company and the work
The employer is an international freight and logistics business based in Kempton Park. Freight and logistics work moves goods across borders and between suppliers, warehouses and customers, so accurate financial records matter at every step. This role supports the broader financial accounting function, with a strong focus on accounts payable and on international reporting, including reporting to the company’s global offices. It suits an accountant who is comfortable working with suppliers, banks and colleagues in other countries, and who takes pride in reconciliations that balance to the cent.
Role details and duties
The successful candidate will help with the monthly management accounts and the month-end process, and will assist with compiling the Annual Financial Statements in line with the applicable accounting standards. A large part of the job is accounts payable: detailed reconciliations to make sure supplier balances are accurate, vetting supplier invoices and supporting documents for compliance with internal controls and VAT requirements, and overseeing the full accounts payable process, including allocations and resolving supplier queries.
The role also covers processing bank transactions and preparing regular bank reconciliations, supporting trial balance preparation, reviewing account balances and performing reconciliations, and helping with cash flow monitoring, allocations and reporting. The accountant prepares and maintains balance sheet and profit-and-loss allocations, supports international reporting requirements, including reporting to global offices, and maintains and improves Excel-based systems, including automation and AI-assisted tools. Spotting discrepancies and resolving accounting issues through detailed review and analysis is part of the everyday work.
Requirements
Only what the source advert states is listed here. Applicants need a BCom Accounting degree, plus either completed SAIPA or SAICA articles or three years of experience in an Accountant role. Experience of, or exposure to, creditors and accounts payable functions is required, and experience in a multinational environment would be beneficial. Advanced Excel skills are required, along with a high attention to detail and accuracy. The advert also values strong analytical and problem-solving ability, high integrity and professional judgement, the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities, strong communication skills, including liaison with suppliers and international stakeholders, and a proactive, organised, deadline-driven approach.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply through the original CareerJunction advert using the Apply button on this page, which leads to the recruiter’s listing. The advert asks applicants to use “Accountant” in the subject line of the email as the reference, so quote that reference exactly when you apply. Apply only through the original advert and never through a link sent to you by an unknown third party. A genuine recruiter will never ask you to pay a fee to apply, to be shortlisted or to secure an interview, so treat any payment request as a red flag and stop.
Practical tips
Before applying, check that your CV clearly shows the two routes the advert allows: a BCom Accounting degree with completed SAIPA or SAICA articles, or three years of experience as an Accountant. Highlight your creditors and accounts payable work, any multinational exposure, and concrete examples of your Excel skills, such as reconciliations, reporting or process improvements you have built. Because the role involves vetting invoices for VAT compliance and reporting to global offices, any experience with supplier queries, bank reconciliations and cross-border reporting is worth spelling out plainly. Keep your application tidy and accurate: this is a detail-driven role, and a careful application is itself evidence of the accuracy the job demands.
How the process works
Applications are submitted through the original advert, quoting “Accountant” as the reference. The recruiter assesses applications against the stated requirements and contacts candidates who meet them to take the process further. If you are shortlisted, expect questions about your articles or accounting experience, your accounts payable work, your Excel ability and how you handle supplier queries and reconciliations. Keep a copy of the original advert and your application so you can refer back to the exact requirements at each stage.
