Job description

We’re a software company implementing business software with a full ERP component, as well as other suites of applications to manage HR, eCommerce, PoS, Marketing and Project Management. Odoo Software is one of the biggest players in the ERP space world-wide and is growing exponentially in South Africa.

We’re a small team of smart people who like to do things a little differently, not for the sake of being different but because we believe there’s always a better way of doing something or achieving a better result, either within our own business and team or for the benefit of our numerous clients.

Better could mean a number of things; add more value, be more efficient, be more interesting, impact more people, incur less risk…. And for each and every interaction we have or task we do, we actively look to do it better or make it better for somebody else. We might even decline to do something if we believe there’s no value to be derived from that task.

About the Role

This role calls for an experienced and operationally grounded Accountant who understands the full mechanics of Accounting from both a hands-on transactional standpoint and a governance and compliance perspective. You will be a key partner in the implementation of our clients’ ERP environments, engaging with stakeholders at every level of their organisation and providing business and strategic insight as part of the delivery process.

The mandate is broad and intentionally dynamic. You will work across multiple clients, sectors and problem statements, driving value by thinking smarter and moving faster to identify opportunities for better ways of working. Your curiosity and continuous learning mindset will be critical, as will your willingness to roll up your sleeves and tackle detailed or repetitive tasks when needed, knowing they sharpen your skill set and strengthen your strategic capability.

This is an opportunity for someone who is ambitious about their long-term trajectory. You will have the runway to expand your remit over time, build out a high-performing team and take ownership of a division as we scale.

The role is suited to a professional who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys variety and is motivated by building something meaningful from the ground up.
