Finance Open to Africa Full Time
Workable August 23, 2026 Open to Africa

Salary: R23 000 per month

Remote Recruitment is hiring an Accounts Receivable Clerk for a UK-based business. You will look after the money coming in: raising invoices, allocating payments, chasing overdue accounts and keeping the ledger clean. This is a full-time, 100% remote role working 09:00-17:00 UK time (11:00-19:00 SAST) from anywhere in South Africa.

Chasing payment is part of the job, so a polite but firm approach with customers matters as much as accuracy with numbers.

Key responsibilities

  • Raise and issue customer invoices accurately and on schedule
  • Allocate incoming payments and reconcile the sales ledger
  • Chase overdue accounts by email and phone, keeping relationships intact
  • Investigate and resolve billing queries and disputes
  • Produce aged debtor reports for the finance team
  • Keep customer account records complete and current

What you will need

  • Experience with accounts receivable, credit control or bookkeeping
  • Familiarity with accounting software such as Xero, Sage or QuickBooks
  • Confidence with spreadsheets and reconciliations
  • Clear written and spoken English for customer contact
  • A reliable internet connection, a working laptop and a quiet workspace
  • Availability across UK business hours

What is on offer

  • A single monthly salary of R23 000, paid on time
  • Fully remote work with no commute
  • A long-term placement with one UK employer
  • Exposure to UK finance practice and systems
  • Onboarding and ongoing support from the Remote Recruitment team
