Job description

We're looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to join our global finance team.

This is a broad and varied role that sits at the heart of the finance function, combining high-volume operational finance activities with technical accounting responsibilities. You'll be involved in everything from invoicing, collections and reconciliations through to revenue recognition, deferred revenue management, lease accounting, fixed assets and month-end reporting.

This role is hybrid, 3 days per week in our Johannesburg office.
