Gauteng: Accountant posted by Smith Garb

What You’ll Do
This is not a role where you sit on the sidelines. Reporting directly to the Financial Manager, you’ll take full ownership of core accounting functions, from reconciliations and cashbooks to VAT and payroll compliance. You’ll be the one ensuring accuracy, keeping systems aligned, and producing the management accounts that leaders rely on to steer the business.
Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing daily reconciliations and payments
• Managing VAT submissions and handling SARS queries
• Keeping payroll compliant and accurate
• Maintaining general ledger and accounting systems integrity
• Producing monthly management accounts and performance reports
• Supporting the finance team during audits
• Contributing to policies, procedures, and continuous improvement

What You Bring

• A B.Com. in Accounting (or equivalent)
• Previous experience in a financial accounting role
• Strong reconciliation and reporting skills
• Solid knowledge of Excel and exposure to Sage (or similar systems)
• A structured, detail-oriented approach with a solutions mindset

Who You Are

• You take pride in getting the details right
• You enjoy bringing order and clarity to complex financial information
• You’re proactive, dependable, and find satisfaction in completing the cycle from start to finish
• You’re a team player who thrives in a collaborative environment

Why This Role?
Because it’s more than “doing the books.” It’s about applying your accounting skills where they make a difference — supporting decisions, building trust, and helping a business grow responsibly.
If accounting is your passion and Sandton / Bryanston is within your reach, we’d love to hear from you.
