Accounts Payable Clerk

Let’s be honest: Finance job specs all sound the same. 

“Detail-oriented… driven… Excel…” blah blah blah.

Finance in e-commerce hits differently.

Our world moves quickly, our team is collaborative, and we love working with people who bring both precision and personality.

AP here isn’t a sleepy, back-office, rubber-stamp job.

You will be:

• The gatekeeper of clean financial flows

• The fixer when something doesn’t balance

• The heartbeat connecting suppliers, finance, ops, and buying

• The person who everyone trusts because your work is gold-standard

If you love order, accuracy, clear processes, and being relied on, you will thrive.

Requirements

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• Processing invoices fast and flawlessly

• Matching POs, GRNs & invoices with forensic accuracy

• Managing the AP inbox so it never becomes a crime scene

• Reconciling supplier statements (you find errors others miss)

• Preparing weekly payment packs that are bulletproof

• Keeping suppliers updated, not chasing you

• Month-end support (clean AP listings, accruals, reports)

• Spotting risks, gaps, and process improvements

• Exposure to the full Accounts Payable cycle (from invoice receipt → matching → approvals → payments → reconciliations → reporting)

WHO YOU ARE

You’ll fit right in if you are:

• Extremely detail-driven (you see things others miss)

• Organised and systematic: colour-coded spreadsheets are your happy place

• Energised by fast-moving environments (retail, e-com, SMME, startup vibes)

• Comfortable working with tools, platforms, dashboards

• A clear communicator, suppliers and teammates love dealing with you

• Calm under pressure and reliable when things get busy

• Someone who takes pride in delivering clean, accurate work

TOOLS YOU’LL USE

• Sage Evolution / Fusion 

• Excel + Google Sheets (solid formula confidence)

• Google Workspace

  
  If you’re the kind of person who wants their work to matter, loves a tidy spreadsheet, and thrives in a fast, friendly, non-corporate environment… this role has your name all over it.
