Capturing customer payments and keeping payment records up to date.

Maintaining accurate debtor/customer account information.

Compiling a weekly list of outstanding debtor amounts.

Who we are looking for

Have studied finance, accounting or a related subject at university level.

Current university students are welcome to apply.

Understand basic debits and credits.

Have strong attention to detail.

Be comfortable working independently.

Be organised and able to maintain accurate records. 1

Communicate professionally.

Be able to identify problems or inconsistencies rather than simply capturing information.

Be able to speak, read and understand Afrikaans.

Have reliable internet access and be comfortable working remotely.

Knowledge of Sage, Pastel or QuickBooks would be useful, but candidates who can demonstrate the ability to learn these systems will also be considered.

A driver's licence is useful but is not essential.

Hours and payment R50 per hour

Initially approximately 2 hours per week

Remote work

Flexible hours can be arranged

Hours and responsibilities may increase as the business grows

Because this is initially a small role, it may suit someone who values flexibility and practical experience more than a large number of immediate working hours.

Why consider the role?

This is an opportunity to gain practical experience inside a developing small business rather than only completing repetitive data-capturing tasks.

The successful candidate may gradually gain exposure to financial administration, debtor management, accounting systems, online sales, process improvement and small-business operations.

There is potential for the role to develop with the business for someone who is dependable, accurate and interested in taking on greater responsibility.

EduDecide uses a skills-focused application process.

Applicants will be asked to provide information about their qualifications and experience and give short examples demonstrating relevant skills.

This allows candidates to show what they can actually do, including skills gained through university projects, part-time work, volunteering or other practical experience.

Candidates at the beginning of their careers are therefore encouraged to apply.
