Vacancies at Hungry Lion

WHAT THE JOB ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

• Owning the creditors book: chasing invoices from suppliers, keeping the monthly creditors process moving from month to month, and staying in regular contact with suppliers directly — you're often the first point of contact when something's outstanding.
• Getting the numbers right: capturing invoices and matching them to GRVs (trade) or POs (expense), applying the correct tax withholding on each one, and reconciling supplier statements against the system every month to produce the age analysis.
• Getting suppliers paid: preparing payment runs directly off your recons, following the full authorisation process without cutting corners, and sending proof of payment through to suppliers once it's done.
• Working with the business: liaising regularly with Regional Management and Operations, helping investigate cash-up discrepancies tied to local branch purchases, and pulling together invoice detail for monthly tax preparation.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

• Matric, plus at least 2 years' experience working with creditors.
• Comfortable in MS Excel at an intermediate level — formulas, lookups, and working with larger data sets.
• Solid accounting knowledge and hands-on experience you can apply from day one.
• Advantage: Accounting as a Matric subject.
• Advantage: A relevant finance qualification.
• Advantage: Experience working on Sage X3.

WHAT YOU GET

• Tax withholding, and the finer points of the process, taught on the job - no need to arrive knowing it already.
• A seat inside a finance team backing 500+ stores across Africa, with direct line of sight into Regional Management and Operations rather than sitting removed from the business.
• Clear ownership of your area; you'll know your creditors book better than anyone else in the business.
