Bookkeeper

We’re looking for a hands-on, organised Bookkeeper to join a growing and fast-paced property business in Cape Town.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the day-to-day finances of a business and is comfortable taking ownership of the full bookkeeping function. You’ll be joining at a busy time, so we’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running, bring structure to the numbers and confidently pick up a broad range of finance responsibilities.

What you'll be doing

• Day-to-day bookkeeping and transaction processing on Xero
• Accounts payable and accounts receivable
• Bank and control account reconciliations
• Supplier invoice processing and payments
• Client/owner invoicing and following up on outstanding payments
• Managing debtors and creditors
• Payroll-related entries and statutory payments, including PAYE, UIF and VAT as required
• Maintaining accurate, audit-ready supporting documentation
• Reconciling company cards, expense floats and staff expenses
• Assisting with the reconciliation of short-term rental income and payments
• Supporting the wider team with bookkeeping and finance administration
• Working closely with the business owners and proactively flagging discrepancies or issues
