Overview
The Accounts Receivable Clerk position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Eastern Cape. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Mthatha and across the finance jobs space.
Equally, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Mthatha operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the finance jobs group in Mthatha.
Meet the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the finance jobs side of the business inside out. The Mthatha group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Your Future Here

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Mthatha have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Eastern Cape.
What Your Day Looks Like
Most days begin by working through your inbox, prioritising urgent supplier or audit queries before settling into the books. You move between reconciliations, journal entries and review meetings, breaking out spreadsheets when something doesn’t tie up. Mid-morning calls with operations or sales help you understand the numbers behind the numbers, and the afternoon is usually given to deeper work: management reports, tax submissions or supporting a junior with a tricky reconciliation. By the time you log off, you have nudged the business closer to a clean month-end.
Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Eastern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Notably, the Mthatha office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
