A Financial Accountant opportunity is open in Cape Town, within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. The role is offered through NDC Personnel & Contractors CC, a recruitment specialist that has placed technical and engineering staff across South Africa since 2000. If you hold a BCom degree in Accounting or Finance and have a few years of hands-on financial accounting experience, this could be a strong next step in your career.
About the company and the work
NDC Personnel & Contractors CC was established in 2000 and describes itself as a market leader in the recruitment and placement of specialised technical and engineering staff for the FMCG, production, manufacturing, engineering, maritime and construction industries. The company handles both permanent placements and the sourcing of contract workers, and offers to manage contract payroll for its clients. Its stated approach is to present clients with a confidential professional resume and reference checks, backed by background research and work experience and credential verification on request, so that the client is left with only the final hiring decision.
This vacancy sits with an FMCG client in the Western Cape. The successful candidate will work in Cape Town and take responsibility for the day-to-day accounting work that keeps a busy consumer goods operation running cleanly and on time.
Role details and duties
The advert describes a 6-month fixed-term contract opportunity for a Financial Accountant. In this role, you will perform accounting functions including cashbook and bank reconciliations, payments management, tax and statutory reporting, fixed asset accounting, and general ledger and journals work. In practice, that means keeping the books accurate and up to date, making sure payments and receipts are recorded correctly, supporting the company’s tax and statutory obligations, and maintaining the fixed asset register and the general ledger.
Please note one point to confirm in the original advert: the vacancy title says “Contract” and the body describes a 6-month fixed-term contract, while the advert’s Job Type field says “Permanent”. Applicants should confirm the exact working pattern and contract length with the recruiter before applying.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the original advert are listed here:
- A relevant BCom degree in Accounting or Finance.
- 2 to 3 years of relevant financial accounting experience within an FMCG or manufacturing environment.
- Strong computer literacy and the ability to work with a high level of accuracy will be advantageous.
The advert states no separate experience level label, so none is shown in the job details for this post.
Where to find and apply safely
Applications for this vacancy are handled externally. To start the application process, send your CV to NDC Personnel and Contractors at [email protected] or [email protected]. The original advert carries reference CT004835/Lynds, so quote that reference with your application so it can be matched to the right vacancy. Applications close on 29 November 2026. The salary is listed as Market Related. The same vacancy is also listed for the wider Atlantic Seaboard area with a longer closing window; this post covers the Ref: 4393 Cape Town listing closing 29 November 2026, so the other listing is not published separately.
Practical tips
Before you send your CV, make sure it clearly shows your BCom qualification and your FMCG or manufacturing accounting experience, with dates, so the recruiter can see at a glance that you meet the stated requirements. Double-check your bank reconciliations and general ledger experience in your CV, since those are named duties in the advert. Use a clear subject line that includes the reference CT004835/Lynds, and attach your CV in a common format. Keep a copy of what you sent and the date you sent it, so you can follow up confidently.
How the process works
Once you send your CV to the addresses above, NDC Personnel & Contractors will review it against the stated requirements. The advert notes that the company adheres to the requirements of the POPI Act. If you have not heard from the company within 14 days of applying, please consider your application unsuccessful.
