Financial Accountant

South Africa Full-Time | Remote

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Cape Crowd is a Cape Town-based hospitality group operating a portfolio of cafés, bars and restaurant concepts. We create neighbourhood institutions with personality, warmth and genuine community at their core. Our venues are relaxed but high-standard, local but timeless, and built with a commitment to excellence.

ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for someone to take full ownership of our finance function and replace our existing accounting firm. This is a hands-on, full-function role; you'll own everything from day-to-day reconciliations through to annual financial statements, with real autonomy and minimal oversight. Full-time, fully remote, with one in-person check-in meeting weekly in Cape Town (Seapoint). 

IS IT FOR ME?

  • Solid full-function bookkeeping or accounting experience, ideally having run finances independently with minimal supervision
  • Comfortable owning supplier reconciliations, loading and authorising
  • Confident running payroll end to end and processing loans
  • Strong grip on balance sheet and P&L preparation, gross profit monitoring and overhead reporting
  • Solid working knowledge of VAT, PAYE and UIF
  • Experience preparing Annual Financial Statements (AFS) and liaising directly with auditors and tax advisors 
  • Self-directed, dependable and comfortable working remotely without close oversight

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

  • Reconciling supplier accounts and managing supplier loading and authorisation 
  • Running payroll and processing loans
  • Preparing balance sheets and P&Ls
  • Monitoring gross profit and overhead reporting
  • Managing VAT, PAYE and UIF compliance
  • Preparing Annual Financial Statements
  • Liaising directly with our auditor and tax advisor

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

  • A flat, non-corporate environment with no micromanagement
  • Real autonomy to own outcomes, not just tasks
  • Direct exposure to the financial operations of a growing serviced-office business
  • A team that values initiative: if you see something that needs fixing, fix it

OUR CULTURE
We're not corporate. No unnecessary meetings, performance theatre or egos, just people who take ownership and follow through. If you see something that needs fixing, fix it. If you have a strong idea, bring it. If you don't know something, ask.
