Role overview
You will own the employee expense process end to end: checking claims against policy, chasing missing receipts and getting people reimbursed on time. It suits someone fair, organised and comfortable saying no politely.
You will work 09:00-17:00 UK time (11:00-19:00 SAST) from home, with equipment guidance, a proper induction and a manager who is contactable through the day. This is a permanent role, not a short contract.

* Chase missing receipts and incomplete submissions
* Prepare reimbursement runs and reconcile to the ledger
* Maintain and administer company card records
* Produce spend summaries by team and category
* Answer expense queries clearly and promptly

* Experience with expenses, accounts payable or finance administration
* Familiarity with an expenses tool such as Concur, Expensify or Pleo
* Confident with Excel and comfortable working to a written policy
* Clear, tactful written English for chasing colleagues
* Reliable home internet and a quiet space for UK-hours work
Nice to have
* Exposure to UK VAT on expenses
* Experience with corporate card programmes
* Familiarity with travel booking processes
What's on offer
A permanent, fully remote role with a clear policy to work to, a supportive finance lead and predictable monthly cycles. Strong administrators move into wider finance administration.

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 β 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.
