  • Proficient in Xero
  • Sound working knowledge of South African VAT
  • Bookkeeping qualification (e.g. ICB, SAIPA or equivalent) preferred
  • Able to work independently through incomplete records and keep a clear audit trail
  • Precise, discreet and deadline-driven
  • Own reliable transport (the property is in a rural valley outside Stellenbosch)
  • Clear criminal and credit record checks (with your consent)
