Part-time Bookkeeper Jobs in Western Cape

Star Personnel Recruitment is looking for a part-time Bookkeeper with QuickBooks experience to support the financial administration of a client in the Western Cape. This is a work-from-home role with a non-profit organisation, paying R8,000 per month, and applications close on 27 December 2026.

About the company and the work

Star Personnel Recruitment was established in 1986 and has grown into a well respected name in South African recruitment, with one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive recruitment databases in the industry. The successful candidate will report to the Managing Director and support the financial administration of the agency’s client, a professional non-profit arts organisation. The role is hands-on and practical: it offers real exposure to how funding is structured and managed inside a non-profit, where accurate records, grant compliance and clean audits genuinely matter. The advert describes a 10-month contract that could be extended, and applicants will need their own cell phone and laptop, since the work is done from home.

Role details and duties

The advert is for a Part-time Bookkeeper/Quickbooks in the Western Cape (Remote), in the Accounting, Finance and NGO & Non-profit sectors. The salary is stated as R8,000 per month, and the reference is copy-Ref: 105. The duties listed in the original advert include:

• Assisting with bookkeeping and accurate financial record keeping.
• Capturing and maintaining financial data using systems such as QuickBooks and Excel.
• Supporting invoice processing, payments and expense tracking.
• Helping to compile and maintain an asset management register.
• Assisting with payroll administration, including salaries and related documentation.
• Supporting the processing of government supplier management requirements, SARS e-filing and the CCT database.
• Helping to compile financial reports for funders, audits and internal management.
• Supporting grant compliance, including financial tracking and reporting requirements.
• Assisting with filing, record management and financial documentation systems.
• Liaising with the accountant and the auditor.

Requirements

Applicants should meet the following requirements, as stated in the original advert:

• Accredited training and qualification in bookkeeping.
• Excellent knowledge and experience of bookkeeping principles and practices.
• Proficiency in QuickBooks and Excel, which is a must.
• Understanding of payroll processes, including salaries and SARS e-filing.
• A high level of integrity and the ability to handle confidential information.
• The ability to work independently and meet deadlines.
• An own cell phone and laptop, as the role is worked from home.
• Possessing a printer would be a distinct advantage.

Where to find and apply safely

Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to that advert. Never pay anyone who promises to secure you a job, and do not share banking details with unsolicited recruiters.

Practical tips

Make your QuickBooks and Excel experience easy to see: name the systems you have used, the kinds of records you kept, and any payroll or SARS e-filing work you have handled. Non-profit experience, grant reporting or audit preparation will speak directly to what this role needs. Because the work is remote, mention that you have a reliable laptop, cell phone and a quiet place to work, and be ready to show that you can manage deadlines without supervision.

How the process works

Applications are submitted through the Careers24 listing for this vacancy. At the time it was seen, only 8 people had applied and 210 people had viewed the advert, so a strong, well-matched application has a good chance of standing out. Shortlisted candidates can expect to be assessed against the stated bookkeeping, systems and payroll requirements, and should be ready to discuss their experience with funders, audits and confidential financial information.
