Johannesburg North: Accountant: Operations posted by Network Finance

Our client operates within the freight and logistics sector—an industry built on precision, timing, and operational excellence. As the organisation expands, the finance team requires a skilled accountant who can tighten controls, uplift reporting quality, and provide meaningful financial insights.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage end-to-end financial accounting, journals, reconciliations, and general ledger control
• Prepare accurate monthly management accounts, reporting packs, and variance commentary
• Oversee VAT, tax submissions, and regulatory compliance
• Maintain fixed assets and ensure accurate depreciation and balance sheet schedules
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and cost analysis
• Strengthen internal controls and enhance financial processes
• Prepare for audits and work with external auditors as required
• Partner with operations to analyse costs and identify profitability improvements
• Introduce reporting enhancements and contribute to system improvements

Job Experience & Skills Required:

• BCom Accounting or equivalent (completed articles advantageous)
• Experience within freight, logistics, supply chain, or similar fast-paced sectors
• Strong understanding of accounting principles and IFRS
• High proficiency in Excel and comfort with accounting/ERP systems
• Meticulous attention to detail, accuracy, and deadlines
