We’re recruiting for an established engineering organisation based in Kyalami, Johannesburg, looking for a reliable and detail-focused Debtors Clerk to join its Finance team. Reporting to the Financial Manager, you’ll be responsible for the accurate processing and administration of the company’s debtors/accounts receivable function.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Process credit notes and create new customers on the system.
  
• Assist with customer credit applications.
  
• Complete bank reconciliations.
  
• Maintain, update and reconcile petty cash transactions.
  
• Process and administer local and overseas staff claims and advances.
  
• Assist with international payments.
  
• Maintain accurate filing and invoice-monitoring systems.
  
• Provide supporting information and assistance during audits.

Requirements

• Completed qualification in Bookkeeping. 
  
• Minimum 3 years’ relevant Debtors / Accounts Receivable / Bookkeeping experience.
  
• Practical experience with debtors reconciliations, invoicing, credit notes and customer accounts.
  
• Comfortable handling broader finance administration including bank reconciliations, petty cash, staff claims and payment-related queries.
  
• High level of accuracy, attention to detail and organisation.
  
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
  
• Afrikaans would be beneficial, but is not essential.
  
• Willing to assist outside the strict boundaries of the debtors function when required, including helping with company functions and other office activities.
  

Benefits
