About the role
BP3 is looking for a fully qualified, hands-on Senior Financial Accountant to own the general ledger and month-end close in a multi-currency environment. You'll prepare and post journals, maintain audit-ready balance sheet reconciliations, and take first-level review responsibility for the work of our AP Specialist - reporting into the Financial Controller. This is an execution-focused role for someone who is comfortable working hands-on in the ledger, not just reviewing from a distance.
Working Hours - South Africa based
Contract Type - Permanent
What you'll be doing
* Own month-end close for your assigned entities — preparing, posting and reviewing journals (payroll, depreciation, accruals, prepayments and more) against a strict close timetable. * Maintain balance sheet reconciliations and supporting schedules to an audit-ready standard, investigating and clearing reconciling items promptly. * Review and guide the work of our AP Specialist, including supplier, bank and credit-card reconciliations, coding and cut-off. * Prepare and reconcile payroll-related journals and balances, including leave provisions and other employee-related accruals. * Maintain the fixed asset register and prepayment/amortisation schedules. * Manage intercompany balances and multi-currency / revaluation processes across the Group. * Support VAT and statutory accounting requirements across our Netherlands, USA, Portugal and UK entities, working with external advisers where needed.
Requirements
* Fully qualified accountant — CA(SA), ACCA, CIMA or equivalent. * 4+ years post-qualification / post-articles experience in financial accounting, ideally in a commercial, multi-entity environment. * Hands-on experience with month-end journals, general ledger accounting and balance sheet reconciliations. * NetSuite experience highly advantageous (or a comparable multi-entity ERP); strong Excel skills. * Experience reviewing the work of a bookkeeper or AP team member is a plus. * A detail-oriented, self-sufficient operator who can manage recurring deadlines, question unsupported numbers, and communicate clearly and concisely.
Benefits
