Senior Financial Accountant (Cape Town)
BP3 is looking for a fully qualified, hands-on Senior Financial Accountant to own the general ledger and month-end close in a multi-currency environment. You'll prepare and post journals, maintain audit-ready balance sheet reconciliations, and take first-level review responsibility for the work of our AP Specialist - reporting into the Financial Controller. This is an execution-focused role for someone who is comfortable working hands-on in the ledger, not just reviewing from a distance.

- 4+ years post-qualification / post-articles experience in financial accounting, ideally in a commercial, multi-entity environment.
- Hands-on experience with month-end journals, general ledger accounting and balance sheet reconciliations.
