Job description
Bookkeeper/Financial Administrator (Dutch Client Portfolio) — South Africa Based
Location: South Africa (remote/hybrid — adjust to actual arrangement)
Working language: English (primary); ability to read Dutch is an advantage
About the Role
We are recruiting a detail-oriented Bookkeeper to manage the day-to-day financial administration for one of our Dutch client accounts. You'll work primarily in SnelStart, a Dutch accounting package, processing invoices and bank/cash transactions. Full training on SnelStart will be provided — what matters most is a solid bookkeeping foundation and the discipline to keep records accurate and up to date.
Key Responsibilities
- Purchase invoices
- Sales invoices
- Incoming and outgoing bank transactions
- Incoming and outgoing cash transactions
- Basic reconciliations to ensure records are complete and accurate
- Flagging discrepancies or missing documentation to the finance/account manager
Requirements
- Qualification: NQF Level 5–6 in Bookkeeping, Accounting, or Finance (e.g. Higher Certificate or Diploma in Financial Accounting/Bookkeeping) — equivalent to Dutch MBO Level 3, with MBO Level 4 equivalent (e.g. completed SAIPA articles, or progress toward SAIPA/SAICA/CIMA) preferred
- Experience: At least 1–2 years' hands-on bookkeeping experience, ideally full-function bookkeeping to trial balance, gained within a South African accounting environment
- Software: Proficiency with a South African accounting package (e.g. Pastel, Sage, Xero, or QuickBooks) — this experience transfers well to SnelStart, and platform-specific training will be provided
- Language: Strong written and spoken English; ability to read Dutch is a strong advantage (not essential — English will be used as the main working language)
- Solid grasp of general bookkeeping principles: invoice processing, bank/cash reconciliation, VAT-type transaction handling, and basic ledger maintenance
- High attention to detail and comfortable working with deadlines across time zones with a Dutch client base
Nice to Have
- Prior exposure to SnelStart or other European accounting software
- Experience supporting an international or outsourced finance function
- SAIPA/SAICA articles (completed or in progress)
What We Offer
- Working hours aligned to Dutch business hours (structure your day with clear boundaries)
- Competitive ZAR salary based on your experience
- Paid leave and standard South African employment benefits through EmbedPeople
- Direct line into a Dutch product team — your work is visible and valued
- Room to take ownership and shape how financial administration runs
Pay: Up to R28 000,00 per month
