About us
Freedom Of Movement is a growing retail business with a culture we call Uhambo: “together we move to inspire.” We live by four core values: trust, teamwork, inspiration and balance. We’re expanding our finance team and are looking for two detail-driven Finance Administrators to join us at our head office in Richwood.

About the role
Reporting to the Financial Accountant, you’ll process and review the day-to-day transactions that keep our business running, from supplier invoices and credit card statements to daily store cash-ups and sales reconciliations. You’ll be the go-to support for store finance queries and play a key part in month-end, tax and audit readiness.

What you’ll do

• Accurately process and code financial transactions, including supplier invoices, rental invoices and credit card transactions
• Manage accounts payable: process invoices, reconcile supplier statements, ensure suppliers are paid on time and resolve vendor queries within one working day
• Manage accounts receivable: allocate payments, follow up on outstanding accounts and support credit control
• Perform daily store reconciliations covering cash, card payments, POS transactions, refunds, returns and petty cash
• Complete bank and credit card reconciliations and investigate discrepancies
• Support month-end by importing store expenses, reconciling store cash accounts and assisting with financial reports
• Assist with VAT and tax compliance, including posting to the correct tax accounts and supporting tax returns and audits
• Keep records organised and audit-ready, and respond promptly to auditor queries
• Get involved in ad hoc finance projects as they come up

What you’ll bring

• 2–5 years’ experience in a finance role
• Hands-on experience with an accounting system or ERP such as Xero, Zoho or QuickBooks
• A solid understanding of what makes a valid tax invoice
• Experience reconciling supplier and customer accounts

You’ll thrive here if you are

• Good at problem solving: you dig into gaps, gather the facts and draw logical conclusions
• A clear, professional communicator in writing and in person
• Able to build good relationships with stores, suppliers and colleagues at every level
• Trustworthy, with high ethical standards
