Job Description

Salary: R23 000 per month

Remote Recruitment is hiring an Accounts Receivable Clerk for a UK-based business. You will look after the money coming in: raising invoices, allocating payments, chasing overdue accounts and keeping the ledger clean. This is a full-time, 100% remote role working 09:00-17:00 UK time (11:00-19:00 SAST) from anywhere in South Africa.

Chasing payment is part of the job, so a polite but firm approach with customers matters as much as accuracy with numbers.

Key responsibilities
* Raise and issue customer invoices accurately and on schedule
* Allocate incoming payments and reconcile the sales ledger
* Chase overdue accounts by email and phone, keeping relationships intact
* Investigate and resolve billing queries and disputes
* Produce aged debtor reports for the finance team
* Keep customer account records complete and current

What you will need
* Experience with accounts receivable, credit control or bookkeeping
* Familiarity with accounting software such as Xero, Sage or QuickBooks
* Confidence with spreadsheets and reconciliations
* Clear written and spoken English for customer contact
* A reliable internet connection, a working laptop and a quiet workspace

What is on offer
* A single monthly salary of R23 000, paid on time
* Fully remote work with no commute
* A long-term placement with one UK employer
* Exposure to UK finance practice and systems
* Onboarding and ongoing support from the Remote Recruitment team

Tips for South African Applicants

⏰

Timezone Advantage

South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.

💰

Salary in Context

Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.

📋

Application Tips

Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.

🔌

Load Shedding Preparedness

If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
