A careful and reliable Book Keeper is wanted for a four-month contract in the Cape Town area. Advertised by Manpower SA (Pty) Ltd., this temporary intermediate position supports a retail or multi-site finance operation, with day-to-day bookkeeping, reconciliations and month-end work at the centre of the role. The contract runs from 1 December to 30 April 2027, and the salary is described as market related.
Manpower is a world leader in employment and staffing services, with offices in over 80 countries. Its client for this vacancy needs a bookkeeper who can keep financial records accurate and up to date across more than one store, working closely with the accountant and the wider finance team. The listing location is Cape Town, while the advert body names Muizenburg as the work location, so applicants should confirm the exact work base on the original advert before applying. The advert carries reference TCT004633 and, at the time of listing, an expiry window of 21 days.
The Book Keeper captures supplier, rental and other finance-related invoices accurately and on time, and processes and allocates cash book entries, including manual bank uploads per store. The role covers supplier, rental, debtor, bank, general ledger and petty cash reconciliations, and prepares month-end journals covering prepayments, accruals and provisions. The successful candidate tracks cash handling, bank charges, telephone fixed costs and recovery billings, assists with income statement variance analysis and store-level commentary, keeps financial records organised, supports the accountant with month-end processes, and resolves supplier and internal finance queries professionally and promptly.
Only the requirements stated in the source advert are listed here. Applicants need 2 to 4 years of bookkeeping or financial administration experience, preferably in retail or a multi-site operation, and a certificate or diploma in Bookkeeping, Accounting or a related field. Experience with bookkeeping or accounting software such as Sage, Pastel, Xero or QuickBooks is required, together with good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and financial recordkeeping, and an understanding of basic accounting principles, reconciliations and month-end processes. The advert also calls for high attention to detail, accuracy and integrity, the ability to meet deadlines, strong communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively within a finance team. Desired skills listed are SAGE, Quickbooks and Accounting.

Before applying, gather examples of reconciliations and month-end work you have handled, note which accounting packages you have used and at what level, and be ready to show how you keep multi-store records accurate under deadline pressure.
