Job Description

Salary: R29 000 - R32 000 per month

Remote Recruitment is hiring a Finance Administrator for a UK employer, fully remote from South Africa.

Role overview

You will keep the ledger clean and month-end on time for a growing UK finance team. It suits someone organised who likes tidy books, clear numbers and a close that lands when it should. You will own the routine work end to end rather than picking up fragments of it.

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.

Key responsibilities
* Process supplier and customer invoices accurately and on schedule
* Reconcile bank, supplier and customer accounts each month
* Maintain the purchase and sales ledgers
* Prepare month-end reports and support the year-end audit pack
* Resolve billing and payment queries by email and phone
* Flag variances and cash-flow risks early to the finance lead
What you'll need
* Two or more years in a finance administration or bookkeeping role
* Experience with Xero, Sage or QuickBooks
* Comfortable in Excel with formulas, filters and pivot tables
* A track record of accurate reconciliations with a clear audit trail
* Reliable home internet and a quiet space for UK-hours work
Nice to have
* Familiarity with UK VAT returns
* Exposure to multi-currency ledgers
* Experience supporting a month-end close
What's on offer

A permanent, fully remote role with a UK employer, a finance team that will back you, and genuine ownership of the ledger. There is room to grow into management accounts as you settle in.

Remote Recruitment connects South African talent with UK employers. We reply to every application.

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.
