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.

This is not an entry-level role — candidates must have a solid grasp of the full accounting cycle and experience preparing management-level reports.
