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 youll 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

Whats 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.
