Where to find and apply safely
This opportunity is listed on Careers24, and the Apply button on this page links to the original listing. Apply only through that original listing, and be cautious of anyone who asks for payment in exchange for a job. The source listing states that applications close on 27 November 2026, and describes the salary as competitive and market related, so no figure is shown on this page beyond market related.
Practical tips
- Lead with your full-function bookkeeping experience and name the number of years, since the advert asks for at least five.
- Highlight Sage 50 or Sage 200 experience, daily bank reconciliations and ledger work specifically.
- Mention accruals and pre-payments, as the advert calls out that knowledge directly.
- Confirm your Western Cape residence in your application, since the advert makes it a requirement.
How the process works
Use the Apply button to reach the original Careers24 listing and follow its application instructions. The role is permanent and is advertised through Helderberg Personnel, so expect the agency to screen applications on behalf of the client.
