Audit Clerk

The organisation is recruiting a Audit Clerk for its Bloemfontein operation. The role forms part of a wider finance jobs portfolio across Free State.

The Role

Beyond that, the Audit Clerk position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Free State. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Bloemfontein and across the finance jobs space.

Importantly, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Bloemfontein team on trust, and the Audit Clerk role will feel that from week one.

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 Bloemfontein.

Our Commitment to Transformation

On top of that, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Bloemfontein.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

The Environment

Crucially, the environment is structured and deadline-driven, with peaks around month-end, year-end and audit cycles. The wider team is collaborative, but focused work is the norm.

In addition, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Bloemfontein site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

• Support the year-end audit by preparing requested working papers
• Monitor debtors’ age analysis and follow up on overdue accounts
• Assist with budget preparation and quarterly re-forecasting cycles
• Compile cash-flow forecasts and variance commentary for management
• Maintain the fixed asset register and process monthly depreciation

Who We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience with Sage, Pastel, SAP or Xero

• Sound ethical conduct and discretion when handling sensitive data
• Strong understanding of VAT, PAYE and SARS e-filing
• Clear credit and criminal record
