Gauteng: Bookeeper posted by Salix Recruitment

Junior Bookkeeper roles don’t usually expose candidates to complexity early on. This one does.
This position is built for someone who has completed SAICA articles and now wants hands-on ownership of real numbers, real entities, and real consequences. It’s not a training seat. It’s a proving ground.
Operating within a multi-entity, cross-border environment, this role offers depth across trial balance, foreign currencies, reconciliations, and compliance. Ideal for someone technically strong, detail-obsessed, and ready to step out of a purely supportive finance function.
