Job description

Overview

ISTA Personnel Solutions South Africa is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company, specializing in providing top-tier operational support to U.S.-based companies. We are not a recruitment agency — we are a dedicated extension of our clients’ teams, delivering high-quality service with precision, efficiency, and a personal touch.

We are seeking an experienced General Accountant with strong general accounting and bookkeeping knowledge to support a U.S.-based outsourced accounting firm. This is not an entry-level role — candidates must have a solid grasp of the full accounting cycle and experience preparing management-level reports. While the role involves some Accounts Payable (AP) responsibilities, the majority of work centers on reconciliations, month-end close, management accounts, and client-facing interaction.

PLEASE NOTE :

  • Working Hours : This role requires you to work EST hours Mon - Fri from 9am to 6pm EST (15h00 to 24h00 South African time - subject to change in accordance with daylight savings in the United States).
  • Public Holidays : This role requires you to work on both South African and US public holidays (compensation for SA public holidays in accordance with the BCEA)
  • Internet Requirements : A fixed fibre line with a minimum speed of 25 Mbps (upload & download) and the ability to support a wired Ethernet connection is mandatory. Applicants without a fixed fibre line cannot be considered.
  • Power Backup : A reliable power backup solution is required to manage load shedding and power outages . Applicants without a power backup cannot be considered.
  • Work Environment : This is a fully remote working role.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain accurate financial records up to trial balance.
  • Post journals, accruals, and adjustments.
  • Perform reconciliations of bank, credit card, and general ledger accounts.
  • Process invoices, receipts, payments, and adjustments.
  • Accounts Payable & Receivable
  • Enter supplier invoices and prepare vendor payments.
  • Reconcile supplier statements and resolve discrepancies.
  • Support receivables by processing customer invoices and following up on outstanding accounts when required.
  • Month-End & Reporting
  • Assist with month-end close processes.
  • Prepare management accounts and client-ready financial reports.
  • Support audit preparation and documentation as needed.
  • Client Interaction
  • Act as day-to-day contact for designated US-based clients.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally in English with clients and vendors.
  • Provide accurate, timely financial updates and support.
  • Requirements

  • Minimum of 2 years’ solid accounting / bookkeeping experience.
  • Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting.
  • Proficiency with accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or similar) and Microsoft Excel.
  • Experience preparing management accounts and handling reconciliations.
  • Prior experience supporting international (especially US-based) clients is advantageous.
  • Key Skills

  • High attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Ability to manage multiple client accounts efficiently.
  • Strong problem-solving and organisational skills.
  • Professional English communication (written and verbal).
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
  • If you are not contacted within 14 working days, please consider your application unsuccessful.
